What’s coming
nMore records, more contributors
nFuture developments:
nRegistry visible as a separate entity
nEnable bulk extraction of records for re-use
nBatch processing of updates
nBetter displays of multiple digital representations of a resource
Members of the working group will begin applying the guidelines to some of their projects – two workflows will be presented today by Rebecca Guenther, LC, and Erika Linke, Carnegie Mellon.  As the registry grows with records from LC, Carnegie Mellon, Harvard University, and others, a broader adoption of the guidelines is expected for other projects. It’s also fair to say we expect the guidelines to evolve based on everyone’s experience using them in Phase 1, both people creating the records and people using the records.

Not all functional requirements for the Registry were implemented in Phase 1. Outstanding requirements include making the registry visible as an entity and to a wider community; enabling the bulk harvesting or extraction or records for other applications; improving batch processing to allow updates; and improving displays where an item has been digitized more than once, in different ways or to different extents.
