  • Create roadmap
  • Council of Architects – Provides Guidance
  • RDF Tutorial Revision
  • UCSD Datamodel Investigation
  • Actively use what we're working on and talking about
• Update on RDFDatastream in AF 7

  • Branch in progress: https://github.com/no-reply/active_fedora/tree/rdf

• Ontology First Steps

  • What 'data models' should be reviewed?

    • Sufia
    • Hydromata/Curate
    • UCSD https://raw2.github.com/ucsdlib/dams/master/ontology/docs/entity-relationship-diagram.pdf
    • PROV-O http://www.w3.org/TR/prov-o/
    • others?

  • Drop term 'Ontology'; need clarify terminology surrounding 'data models'.

  • Don't make a data model--ensure interop between existing approaches
  • Create a set of guidelines for RDF adoption
  • Action item: Draft a paragraph scoping this project and declare some initial use cases
    • Volunteers: Mike Giarlo, Esmé Cowles, Karen Estlund, Jon Stroop, Adam Wead
    • Due: by next call (tbd via Doodle)
• AF RDF Tutorial (who can help improve/timeline)
  • Needed for Spring 2014 HydraCamp in Dublin. April 9
  • Is it meaningful to switch Dive into Hydra to use RDF - what would the desired benefits be?
  • Good Question. Confusing to branch off? or is that more flexible.
  • Can't answer fully before fixing tutorial. or is it okay to do a flat DC example?
    • Add flat DC RDF Datastream to AF?
  • RDF clearer than OM.
  • Proposal to share with community: RDF replaces OM in Dive Into Hydra. Add DC RDF datastream to AF (maybe?). 
    • Future Agenda Item: Detail this proposal,discuss need (or lack thereof) for DC RDF Datastream in AF, & assign work.
  • Chance to review @ Code4Lib & LibDevConX
    • Possible breakout session at Code4Lib
  • Giarlo will run through at OR in June
  • Action item: run through current guide, fix what's broken.
    • Limit to simple Use cases/examples. Stuff that won't be effected by Oregon work.
    • Volunteer: Adam Wead
    • Due: by next call (tbd via Doodle)
