    1. implementing policies and procedures relating to Aeon, an automated request and workflow management software for public services in special collections.

      Convert to list: * Overseeing visioning and planning * Developing proposals and recommendations for Aeon enhancements or development * Supporting the Aeon product owner in creating user stories * Setting priorities for Aeon work * Coordinating with Library IT to initiate, execute, monitor, and sign off on work that has been prioritized and approved by the ITSC * Creating and maintaining community with staff who use Aeon

    1. very rare circumstance

      Add text about this only being useful for a patron account that won't be placing their own requests, because they can't sign in on the web.

    2. Blocked records appear in red in the grid of results when you search users in the Aeon Staff Client.

      type color change unnecessary and probably an accessibility problem

    3. Disavowed records appear in gray in the grid of results when you search users in the Aeon Staff Client.

      type color change unnecessary and probably an accessibility problem

    4. Alternatively,

      This whole part is uncertain, because a patron can't use Aeon without a Library account. Only a patron can create the Library account unless LIT gets involved to force-activate said Library account.

    1. Registration

      2 new right-hand blocks: 1) not receiving registration email or password reset email (tl;dr: we can force-activate an account, but future email issues with such an account are an issue with email providers and administrators and spammers, not something we can do anything about other than recommend the patron use a different email, especially if their primary is a university/college one because those often have idiosyncratic blocking rules), 2) case-sensitivity glitch with usernames (needs Trip's work for total remediation, but short-term fix is to adjust their expiration date and either unclear them or cycle through clearing-unclearing) that will be resolved in the next Aeon upgrade

    1. (both Presentation and Image API)

      Reword to make it clear the recipe is dealing with Presentation but note perhaps that Content Negotiation / similar mechanisms apply to the Image API

    2. Perhaps the most notable is that web browsers do not allow clients to vary their Accept headers, so viewing IIIF resources in a browser is restricted to viewing the server’s default response

      Rewrite to focus on what the conventional non-technical user can/can't/will/won't do

    1. example

      The Library is migrating catalog software. As soon as 26 June, this handle will be invalid until some time after the migration ends on 9 July. Up to you how you deal with the gap of time between the old catalog being unavailable and the Library updating its handles to point to the new catalog.

    1. access to the email account

      Will we allow staff to share this info also? Not many consumer websites will hand over this kind of credential info, as a way of guarding against identity spoofing.

    1. reduce it to the point where failures happen very infrequently and only in cases where numerous unforeseen circumstances combine to make a structure vulnerable to collapse.

      This seems to still be thinking about design as a point in time, not acking deeply the inevitable change, and the unforeseeable / independently varying changes.

    2. cargo ships have increased in size and weight. The ship that brought down the Sunshine Skyway in 1980 weighed 35,000 tons, while the ship that collided with the Francis Scott Key Bridge weighed 95,000 tons.

      Glad to see the ack in changes in external factors. Hoping that climate change will be mentioned, but I'm not optimistic. (Annotating as I read . . .)

    3. concrete delivered on two successive days

      Highlighting the high variability, but it seems like this contradicts the confidence of earlier statements about design ability.

    1. Lessons Learned

      Only the first two make sense to me, balancing the impulse to Do Something against the knowledge that humans are fallible and accidents will always* happen.

    2. Embracing technological advancements, such as autonomous navigation systems and remote monitoring capabilities, can significantly enhance safety and reduce the risk of human error.

      The remote monitoring idea might make sense, but this wasn't a case where the ship wasn't attended or the pilot/captain was drunk. Autonomous nav, though, are they serious? The electrical system blew. What power would the autonomous nav be running on? Why would something of this size and power take up a technology that currently has a 5x-13x greater crash rate in cars than cars not using autonomous navigation?

    3. designed and constructed in an era of smaller vessels

      Raises a question about big maintenance issues: In a system such as this one, is it something to consider that we shouldn't(?) permit scaling up one component without identifying which other components are at risk of failure and improving them as well? I'm not saying they didn't run this scenario in Baltimore, but the philosophical x economic shift would be a big deal. What options are there for e.g. a shipbuilder if they knew they couldn't build bigger ships without also contributing to bridge upgrades?

    4. steering gear pumps, and bridge equipment

      Crux. (Also, the writer doesn't sufficiently distinguish between the ship's bridge and the Key Bridge when referring to the latter generically.)

    1. the objects based on a date range.

      Copy date and place to collection, show collection manifest, make sure to link from collectin, make sure Michael's custom viewer doesn't break

    1. Example

      Add Annona. Though the UX is not great, it does support the principle of Collections, pulling in full Manifests from stub entries in the Collection's Manifest

    1. One colleague and fellow beneficiary of LIS diversity initiatives has created a mentorship group for students of color

      Is there a way to make connections with similar groups for technologists of color &c.?

    2. those applicants who find success in these diversity programs are those who can successfully replicate necessary whiteness

      Small wonder that white women are the primary beneficiaries of affirmative action.

    3. A genderqueer applicant who has since changed names and gender identities

      A good point -- how can applications be open and welcoming to people whose names have changed? Is there a model or the start of one in the attitudes toward women who have professional experience under more than one name, where the name changes are unrelated to gender-based change?

      Authors thought there was no need for this. The CC PD is for the metadata, you've got a credit/reference, and the copyright statement at the object page is Public Domain

    1. (image, layer etc. etc.)

      The Use Case seems like a good place to link out to the Presentation API 3.0 for the explanation of "content resource", but I think it should be the last sentence, which would allow you to remove this parenthetical.

    2. to a band of a multi-spectral acquisition stack

      If I think about it, I understand why "acquisition" is here, but I think it's a distraction. I advise removing it and having "to one of a multi-spectral set of images."

    3. We want to tag only a portion of the image thus the motivation of the annotation must be tagging the body of the annotation must be TextualBody containing a text describing what we see in that portion of the X-Ray image, hence the format of the annotation must be text/plain.

      Split into two sentences. I think I would write it this way:

      We want to tag only a portion of the image and thus the motivation of the Annotation must be tagging. The body of the annotation must be a TextualBody — with a format of text/plain — that contains the text of our annotation.

    4. to images part of a composition like in the recipe 0036.

      To go with the comment about editorial "we" and also with my comment about recipe titles over numbers:

      "could be applied to images that are part of a composition, as in the recipe, 'Composition from Multiple Images'."

    5. like 0021-tagging or 0266-full-canvas-annotation add

      Better to use recipe titles, since the numbers at this point are just arbitrary associations with GitHub issue numbers: "like 'Simple Annotation — Tagging' or 'Simplest Annotation'"

    1. The way this recipe will address is that of pointing to the region of interest in a separate and independent manifest from the resource’s primary IIIF manifest.

      The way this recipe will address that is by leveraging a IIIF image's Image Service to cover a Canvas with just the region of interest.

    1. subsequently bound together

      bound together some time after publication [printing? creation?] I don't know that it really matters for the use case per se, but it might be easier for people with modest experience with this kind of object to understand.

    1. Represent Canvases in a Manifest as Geographic Areas in a Web Mapping Client Using navPlace

      Proposed in cookbook authors' call for Maps group discussion: Mapping Canvases in a Manifest

    1. artefacts

      Unless I'm ignorant of something (which happens all the time), this is the British English spelling, and we are generally using US English spellings.

    2. This configuration is not ideal in most cases as it offers the client no size choice and, if the sizes provided are too small to meet the client’s thumbnail requirements, this will have significant impact on processing time if the client is forced to do the resizing since it is more efficient to downsize an image than to request the perfect size.

      Awkwardly long. Maybe:

      This configuration is not ideal in most cases as it offers the client no size choice. Further, if the sizes provided are too small to meet the client’s thumbnail requirements, this will have significant impact on processing time. When a client must resize thumbnails, it is more efficient to downsize an image than to request the perfect size.

    1. Challenges the library faced include lack of vendor involvement and how to move forward when it is discovered that a provider’s business ventures could harm our library patrons or their families.

      I like the addition of "or their families". We are enmeshed.

    1. { "id": "https://preview.iiif.io/cookbook/0021-tagging/recipe/0021-tagging/annotation/p0001-tag", "type": "Annotation", "motivation": "tagging", "body": { "type": "TextualBody", "value": "Germany" }, "target": "https://preview.iiif.io/cookbook/0021-tagging/recipe/0021-tagging/canvas/p1" }

      Should this be in an annotations property of the Canvas, Manifest, or AnnotationPage?
