The SNAC Technology Infrastructure Working Group (TIWG) supports the development of the application by:

• Providing advisory support to the technical team
• Providing user-friendly documentation to support SNAC Working Groups and general users
• Cultivating community development

TIWG meets regularly to discuss ways to improve the use and understanding of the SNAC application. Below are some examples of the tasks we are undertaking.

Advisory support incudes

• Beta-testing usability and feature updates in the application; guidelines available
• Developing and administering a post-SNACSchool questionnaire regarding the editing interface to deliver feedback to the technical team
• Developing specs for an external dashboard for scoped data clean-up projects

Creating documentation such as

• EAC-SNAC JSON crosswalk
• Screencasts of application functionality
• Develop use cases for using SNAC API

Community development involves

• Publishing helpful documentation online for public access
• Coordinating with the SNAC Communication team to provide outreach
• Discussing collaborative or parallel developments with the SNAC API with other developers, such as, ArchivesSpace
• Exploring avenues and tools for data cleanup -- SNAC editathon, anyone?
