Problems with proposed method of "related files" in PCDM (Drew)
Looking at https://github.com/duraspace/pcdm/wiki/Related-Files and seeing some challenges with that approach
Worth revisiting whether we should use a different predicate, or whether RDF technical metadata and XML technical metadata ought to be modeled differently
@Andrew Myers to revise the above page with his experiences, and otherwise let the FileSets WG take this on
PCDM Tech call tomorrow (Giarlo)
If you're interested in the development of PCDM, please feel free to join the new monthly calls. First one is tomorrow.
Call details: https://github.com/duraspace/pcdm/wiki/September-1,-2016
CC PR that renames "rights" field to "license" (Coyne)
No data migration needed
Will require re-indexing of fields since the solr key is changing
Action Item: interested parties should put counter-proposals on the ticket
Remove follower/following feature from Sufia? (Giarlo)
It's being proposed for removal because 1) it's lightly used, and 2) the gem that powers this feature is now unmaintained
Penn State is looking into taking on maintenance of this feature/gem. If they decide that it's best for this to make its way out of Sufia, Mike will write this up for the Hydra-Tech list.
Admin access to repo objects: ability or WebAC? (Giarlo)
Tabled until next week
Proposal to get https://github.com/projecthydra/curation_concerns/pull/901 passing (with a hydra-pcdm release?) and merge it. (Pendragon)
Group OKed putting out a hydra-pcdm release
@Trey Pendragon to write hydra-tech about ramifications of merged this CC PR that reverses the directionality of memberships (for performance)
Since we have not yet released a Sufia 7.x release with upgrade tooling, this could work for Sufia users too.
Mike deferred to Penn State, Alberta, and CHF here who have been independently working on upgrades
