1. Subgroup Reports
   1. no Technical metadata subgroup report
   2. Applied Linked Data 
      started a sprint on linked data fragments

3. MODS
   

   Steven explained there is a need at Boston Public Library to work on converting existing MODS metadata to rdf.
   This need is shared by a number of institutions, included Amherst, University of Maryland, others
   Aaron pointed out that MODS will not go away, there is a need to develop two way mappings, eg. BPL harvests metadata from Amherst via OAI-PMH, including MODS.

   Steven and Aaron and a couple others are working on a group to map mods to rdf
   Nick Ruest pointed out as a possible interested party, and others in Islandora Community
   UCSB is separately working on this kind of conversion
   UCSD has their own solution - to convert mods to rdf, and other conversions - willing to share code, but it is tied to a very complex data model, that they are trying to simplify
   Suggestions made to try and wait for report from descriptive metadata subgroup, on the results of their survey, which should be relevant to this topic
   mods to rdf topic will be raised at next descriptive metadata subgroup meeting
4. HydraConnect 2015
   Desire to try and have representatives from each subgroup talk about their subgroups work at HydraConnect - not sure exactly who from each group will be there
   Technical metadata group will try to find a rep, others encouraged to do so also.
   
   
5. Additional Topics
   Rebecca reported on work at WGBH around converting pbcore xml to ebucore rdf.
   WGBH is working on a mapping, will send github link around
   WGBH and Indiana University have a 1 year research grant to move existing av technical metadata into fedora4
   They are working on the mapping first, over the next few weeks, with members of the ebucore team
   Next step is to work on a tool to capture new metadata in rdf
   will be working on conversion tools later, to convert pbcore to ebucore.
