- Some predicate possibilities:
- Columbia has not yet done mapping, will contribute for next meeting
- Steven will create a summary "options" document to facilitate comparison of options
- We could consider minting a new predicate?
- Holding Institution concept
- Identifier voting results (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1OlsVIEpd674YqvfYw4nbDpF0ouIQrQ6VFc5zPxTt0o8/edit?usp=sharing)
- Based on: http://goo.gl/forms/3mvl5pCMohCOrSkF3
