How To: Final Project Deliverables

Jump to bottom
Nic edited this page May 16, 2017 · 4 revisions

Your final deliverable will consist of the following:

  1. Project definition, scope, and audience (Week 2)
  2. User stories that define stakeholders (Week 4)
  3. Justification for selecting repository software (the system design) (Week 3)
  4. Metadata needs, and proposed schema (Week 5)
  5. Deposit policies (who, what, size, formats, etc.) (Week 6)
  6. Ingest, Transformation, Licensing, and Preservation Policies (Week 8)
  7. Curated datasets (Week 7 we will do an exercise on this, but you will continue to work on this throughout the quarter)

Summative Evaluation You will be required to produce a written report that coherently brings together each of the pieces described above. The details of this report are left to your discretion. The only requirement that you have is to include - at minimum - the elements above.

Variations on a theme
Your final deliverable could take many forms.

  • You may choose to actually build out and develop a repository. This will require you to actually implement some policies, standards, etc. While you can rely on the end-product being mostly your built system - you should also take care to document your design choices, and any shortcomings that would be addressed in future curation work.

  • You may choose to write a narrative report that extends some aspect of the above requirements in-depth. For example, you may choose to take our Extract, Transform, Load model seriously, and build out a workflow based on these steps.

  • You can pitch another idea. I am completely open to innovations - the only requirements are that you engage with the concepts we are discussing in class, and try to somehow implement these in a real world setting.

Presentation
In Week 10 you will be required to give us a ~ 15 minute overview of your protocol. At the very minimum you should plan to explain design choices around each deliverable. How formal you make the presentation (slides, prepared talking points, etc) is up to your group. I will not be penalize informal presentations - but please try to offer a coherent overview of your work.
