Sprints

Sprint 1:  Add a single work from an individual work page to a single supported virtual collection named My Virtual Collection.
  1. Limitation: Use current login scheme (will require multiple logins by user)  ? Is this workable at all ?
  2. UI: All pages get link to My Virtual Collections in the banner
  3. UI: Add new My Virtual Collections page
    1. LHS: List only My Virtual Collections
    2. LHS: Cannot create new virtual collections.  (Only a single collection named My Virtual Collection will be allowed for this sprint and it will be created automatically the first time the user adds a work.)
    3. LHS: List the one and only virtual collection named My Virtual Collection
      1. Name:  My Virtual Collection
      2. Description:  A collection of resources that interest me.
      3. Access:  Private
    4. LHS: Cannot delete My Virtual Collection
    5. LHS: (maybe) See information (aka metadata) for My Virtual Collection
    6. RHS: Show virtual collection My Virtual Collection
      1. Show title My Virtual Collection
      2. If item added, show add message.
      3. Show count of items and range of items displayed.
      4. Limitation:  Support only 20 per page. 
      5. Limitation:  No sorting.
      6. Handle case where collection has 0 items.
      7. Handle case when the number of items is less than 20 per page setting. 
      8. Handle case when number of items is more than 20 per page setting.
      9. Limitation: Cannot Move items
      10. Support deleting an item from My Virtual Collection
  4. UI: Work page gets new button to add the work to the one and only virtual collection named My Virtual Collection
    1. When added, the page forwards to My Virtual Collections page and shows the newly added item.


Sprint 2: Use ActiveTriples instead ActiveFedora

TBA

Outstanding Questions

  • How does user stayed logged in to facilitate multiple searches to build a single Virtual Collection? 
    • Currently, every time a user clicks My Account, a prompt for logging in is displayed, which implies users are logged out as soon as they leave the My Account page.  (Ask Adam the history of this.)
    • Can we add the notion of a public and private computer?
    • Can we keep an IP address (or other identifier) for a computer that allows us to know this user is accessing the system from a previously authorized private computer?
    • What default length of time forces a log out?  Is this settable by the user?
  • How to find a Virtual Collection to watch?
  • How to search only within the user's owned Virtual Collections?
  • How to search only within the user's watched Virtual Collections?
  • How are user public Virtual Collections exposed to the public?
  • How are works from external library catalogs searchable and available for inclusion in a Virtual Collection?  (Potential Demonstration B)
  • The UI Mockup implies that items in a Virtual Collection can be dynamically sorted (show in title A-Z).  Are dynamic sorts sufficient (title A-Z/Z-A, author A-Z/Z-A, year ASC/DES)?  Potential Demonstration C states that the user can apply an order to items.

 

Status of Planning Process

  • UI Mockup is fairly well developed for Potential Demonstrations A and D.  See outstanding questions above for areas that may not be represented in the mockup.
  • Requirements – TBA – under development.  Not sufficiently complete for review.
