Agenda (with notes)
- Feedback Form Responses (no new entries as of 8/1)
- Email Responses (no new entries as of 8/1)
- New Comments on Recommendations document
- General comments
- Comment regarding MODS to BIBFRAME conversion: Group agrees we should ADD a footnote to the paragraph above in "background and need." Eben has done this.
- MODS reliance on "blank nodes" was changed to "blank nodes and minted objects."
- Concerns about number of namespaces utilized Comment regarding MODS to BIBFRAME conversionconcern is that the namespaces may not be maintained. With so much variability, if things are not maintained, who updates these mapping recommendations? May be worth adding a paragraph in the intro that addresses the tradeoff of many vocabularies could potentially lead to future fragility. For now, Eben will respond to comment that we may add a caveat to the intro.
- We should add a note in the general comments about institutions needing to maintain their own application profiles for when these recommendations offer multiple options for how to deal with an element.
- Simple Mapping
- mods:title
- language tags; clarifications regarding simple vs. minted scenarios
- 2 letter codes vs. 3 letter codes? Most of our data uses 3 letter codes, so it is impractical to think we will all change them. But, this is the 2nd time it's been brought up, so we will need to look into this further. This will be an agenda item for next time.
- question regarding nameTitleGroup attribute mapping (not in our examples)
- Eben is responding that we don't support every MODS attribute and that is one that's lost.
- Uniform title example was structurally incorrect and has been edited. Now no longer includes string literal for uniform title.
- language tags; clarifications regarding simple vs. minted scenarios

- EDTF will remove English-language values (e.g., "open") in favor of symbols, so that this can be used more easily internationally. But this has not been released yet.
