Writing exercise: Defining tasks and outcomes

What? -Get to know the archive a bit better and try to get an overview on the contents of the material. -Come up with relevant questions concerning the act of archiving, our process, and the challenges we face.

How? -Read to the archive and come up with possible tags that can be used next to the semantic metadata or that we need to add. -Read trough Lost and Living in Archives and see what we can use to back up our research by making annotations.

Why? -Knowing the contents is essential to come up with an overall concept and ways to activate or navigate through the archive. -I feel the need to understand a bit better what we are actually doing and what it means in a wider context (fi its social importance)

What will the outcome be? - A better understanding of how to structure and navigate the archive (for an outsider/visitor) - Find relevant references, annotations to back up our collective research. - Hopefully ideas on a (design) concept - Annotations
