Agenda:
Welcome - Feel free to list yourself as a member on wiki (Samvera Metadata Interest Group )
Still looking for a co-facilitator
Roadmaps Alignment Group Update (Julie Hardesty)
Discussed interest from AWS in creating reference architectures – this will be taken up by a proposed WG.
Developers Congress has work happening to clear out Hyrax issues from GitHub - some are metadata-related. Not closing, just commenting on the status. We will review these in the next meeting.
Nurax (nurax-dev and nurax-pg) sites are in the process of being moved to a new Samvera-based URL. DCE will no longer be maintaining these.
Wiki housekeeping - Other subgroups
URI Selection Working Group - Last met in 2018? Status not listed.
Samvera Applied Linked Data Interest Group - Last met in 2017? “Status unclear”
Descriptive Metadata Working Group - Last met in 2016/2017?
Will talk about these another time.

Follow-up on points from prior meeting:
OAI group - Annamarie, Nora, Amanda, and Meredith are interested in forming. Anna K. will set up a charter and group page.
Should we have a crossover meeting with Repository Managers IG regarding Bulkrax? Sarah & Cara mentioned working with Bulkrax for a migration. There is a bulkrax Interest Group, with a meeting today. Anna K. will look into a demo. Repository Managers IG is not meeting currently.
GitHub issues:
Add more sort options to search results page · Issue #3558 · samvera/hyrax - Add more sort options to search results page. This was created and commented on in 2019. Labeled as an enhancement. It seems to relate to metadata as well.
Julie - It would be helpful to know that this is valuable to Ohio State via a comment on the issue. This can help this move into a future Development Congress or similar. Another attendee agreed that is was useful for their institution as well.
Open Discussion
Ordering values in Samvera: RDF does not allow for ordering values a specific way in metadata. However, ordering is an important consideration for some fields, e.g. creator. Jeremy shared there is a Samvera Labs gem order_already (GitHub - samvera-labs/order_already: A tiny gem to provide naive sorting for Fedora Commons properties ) that allows for ordering values. However, he explained some nuances about how the gem is implemented, i.e. ordering for user display as opposed to the metadata itself.
Hyku for Repositories is working with SoftServ on metadata-related issues for Hyku. Amanda will keep this group updated.
Next meeting: February 28, 2023, 2-3pm EST
