Subject: February UC3 Service Updates Summary

Attached are service updates for Dash, Merritt, and WAS for February 2015. Highlights include:


*         UCI Dash offers geographic access. We partnered with UC Irvine to develop a map feature. Currently, there are no datasets with geographic metadata in production yet, but you can see the functionality on the stage server: http://dash-stg.lib.uci.edu

Please let us know if you have any plans for geographic metadata.



*         Successful automated harvesting into Merritt. We recently reached a milestone in our work with Open Context<http://opencontext.org/> by successfully completing an automated harvest using the Atom feed of their datasets to ingest into Merritt. At almost 1 million objects, this is the largest collection in Merritt by number of objects. You'll find the Merritt collection here: https://merritt.cdlib.org/m/ucb_open_context

  *   Web Archiving Service (WAS) Transition to Archive-it. The transition is on target for the first UC group to migrate in March.
For more details see this month's updates, the UC3 web site, or contact me<mailto:[log in to unmask]>, Perry Willett<mailto:[log in to unmask]>, or Rosalie Lack<mailto:[log in to unmask]>.
