So glad you shared this, Kelli. I am both intimidated and excited about RIC and the benefits of linked open data. I look forward to more case studies and practical guidance on implementation.

Hi everyone,

Records In Contexts: Share your User Stories

 

The Experts Group on Archival Description (EGAD) is seeking input from the archival community that will inform ongoing work on the Records in Contexts (RiC) Application Guidelines (RiC-AG). If you are a current or prospective user, are seeking to transition your data to RiC from a superseded or adjacent standard, or are otherwise invested in this work, please take a few moments to share with us how the AG may support you in your archival work.

This survey closes on May 19, 2024. 



Your responses will not be shared outside of EGAD and cannot to be tied to your name or email address. 



Access the survey at https://forms.gle/NDvi59J2RcsSfFzx5



Why User Stories?
User stories are a user-centered way of expressing a functional need in succinct, non-technical language. They follow the pattern persona + need + purpose: “as a [persona], I want to [...], so that [...].”User stories can help us capture in just a few words in what capacity you are reporting a need, what you are trying to do, and what you are trying to accomplish with that task. They are a highly actionable format that requires only a moment's time from you.Please share as many stories from your daily practice as you would like. Please use English for your responses. Many thanks for taking the time to let EGAD know where guidance or clarification is most needed!

Even if all you can submit is "I'm not ready for RiC yet" this will be valuable feedback to EGAD.

 

Take care all,

Kelli
