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 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
For more details see this month’s updates, the UC3 web site, or

me, Perry Willett, or Rosalie Lack.

Interim UC3 Director
