Notes

  • Housekeeping
    • Need volunteer to record decisions and action items.
      • James
    • New agenda items?
      • Esme - Example with new branch?

        • Will be complete in advance of Code4Lib
  • Tom meeting with Tech Transfer people about CLA compliance document prior to iCLA signature - next day or two
    • Looking for feedback after pull request is submitted
  • Rights Metadata
  • RDF List
    • Limitation in RDF.rb implementation.
      • Can't use fully qualified URLs as head nodes - requires blank nodes, which causes problems with objects which are lists
      • Challenging to identify the URI of the head node - need to avoid empty lists
    • General issues with ordered lists in RDF.
      • Linked list implementation - challenging to query; consensus that there are challenges with ordered lists in RDF
    • Use Cases/Use in MADS & MODS. (UCSD?)
      • UCSD uses both blank nodes and fully qualified URIs as head nodes of lists
    • Ordered List Ontology as alternative?
      • Easier to query - numerically ordered
    • Need advice on RDF Lists for the community - RDF list in existing code base is tempting, but obstacles should be made clear - Tom Johnson will write AF tutorial on RDF lists by the end of March
  • Code4Lib
    • In-Person Lunchtime Meeting Agenda
      • Event falls on March 25 - RDF WG call will be cancelled
      • Tom Johnson will assemble agenda - ideas?
        • Fedora 4 Hydra support discussion and status?
    • AF::Rdf Breakout
    • Start defining migration paths to RDF
