Changes

With the growth in the number of hubs providing metadata to the Digital Public Library of America, many of them are using REPOX, a tool originally created for the Europeana project, to aggregate disparate metadata feeds and transform them into formats suitable for ingest into DPLA. The Empire State Digital Network, the forthcoming DPLA service hub for NY state, is using it to prepare for our first ingest into DPLA in early 2015. We'll take a look at REPOX and its capabilities and how it can be useful for ingesting and transforming metadata, and also discuss some things we've learned in massaging widely varied metadata feeds.
