Really rethinking what our job is as a DH center lately. We have been focused on frontend interfaces for data for a while - and while that's still obviously a portion of what we do, a bigger portion of what I think about now is data collection.
How to design relational data gathering when the schema is unknown/needs to grow with the data. How to make annotations easier and quicker to add. How to clean data, how to categorize, which metadata schemas to use and how to extend when there's not one to adapt. How to store that relational data in a way that others can use. How to train students in all of the above in a way that balances staff time and student attention.
