Enhancing Custom Catalogue Metadata for Increased User Functionality in Digital Preservation Systems : Poster - iPRES 2025 - Wellington, New Zealand / Te Whanganui-a-Tara, Aotearoa
Abstract
Following the launch of HSBC’s Preservica-based cloud system for archival metadata management, digital asset storage and digital preservation, numerous opportunities for metadata enhancement have been identified. The two innovative projects described in this paper have provided significant improvements and efficiencies in the targeted search of custom catalogue metadata, allowing archivists to more readily and easily identify specific records. In the first project, we describe a methodology for the creation and population of a ‘Contains Digital Asset’ metadata field that allows users to identify catalogue entries with digital files. In the second project, the titles of folders within a catalogue entry’s archival hierarchy are made readily viewable and searchable through a custom metadata fragment, allowing users to narrow searches to particular branches of the archival tree and/or derive differentiating contextual information for catalogue entries displayed in search results.Details
