  • 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
