1. Subgroup Reports

1a. Applied Linked Data Subgroup

• Steven: More unit tests have been completed, see Applied Linked Data Call 2015-08-06 
• Met for a standup on https://github.com/ActiveTriples/linked-data-fragments/pull/18
• Group discussed meta-authority records
  • if a URI is missing info, can it be updated locally?
• Next meeting will be August 20th at 9:00 AM PST / Noon EST.

1b. Rights Metadata Subgroup

• Karen: A draft of Rights Metadata Recommendation was sent out for comments, but not much feedback has been received.
• Next steps: 
  • finalize the recommendation and send out one more call for comments
  • look at Fedora Hydra rights, need to get someone on that sprint

 

1c. Descriptive Subgroup

   i. Survey - Carolyn

• The group has a final draft of the survey 
• The group held a meeting with the Samvera User Experience Interest Group
  • the two groups will likely have a meeting at Hydra Connect
• The survey is likely to go out on Friday and will be out for a period of 2 weeks
  
  

  ii. MODS and RDF Subgroup- Steven

• discussed the ways different institutions are translating the MODS XML title elements in RDF
  • comparing alternative, uniform, parallel, translated, standard titleInfo/title
  • currently focusing on title element, then will move on to creators, contributors, etc.
  • discussion based on the seven attempted mappings at:  MODS Title Individual Institution Usage And RDF Conversion
• a survey will be sent out to gain anonymous feedback about different implementations and what level of mapping support we should focus on.
  • hope to use this to finalize the title element during the next call.
• Notes from meeting - https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/hydra/MODS+and+RDF+Call+2015-08-10
• Next call is MODS and RDF Call 2015-08-24

 

2. Issues/Questions

• Use of opaque namespace at Oregon and Santa Barbara 
  • Karen: if they couldn't find something, they would define it with an opaque namespace and make it available
  • longer term there may be a need for a namespace where people can register terms where it can be hosted so users don't have to run their own servers
  • An unofficial standard may emerge from this group and users could employ custom URIs
  • Tom: advocates for WG to establish guidelines for minting new terms
    • we may not need to resolve the issue of community namespace to do that
    • see 5 Stars of Linked Data Vocabulary
  • This might be a separate task to list out
    • What do custom vocabulary terms look like and what should they look like for our community?
    
    

3. Structural WG timeline and scope

• Karen: Rights metadata WG is wrapping up, so the Structural WG will begin its work. Julie Hardesty will lead the group.
• The goal is to flesh out models using PCDM
• Would this be a good channel for discussing PCDM changes?
  • possibly, but this group is to take the user stories we collected & flesh them out more
  • there is other work on PCDM and Hydra going on that might overlap
  • there will be a lot of activity around PCDM at Hydra Connect

 

4. Keeping Track of Metadata WG Requests and Priorities

• People have been submitting requests informally
• A Metadata IG Requests and Priorities page has been started on the wiki to keep track to requests and priorities
  • only a few of them still need to be done
• Should we advertise this page to the community and ask them to add requests or priorities to this page?
  • It would be good to have a central place to reduce duplication of efforts
  • How would communication then flow out to people when tasks are complete?
  • GitHub Issues is a possibility
• Is there a procedure for surfacing items from the list of priorities to agendas?
  • we can keep a slot on the agenda to address items in the list

 

5. HydraConnect Presentations

• Karen: we have 2 sessions scheduled
  • a 5 minute lightning talk re: broad overview of what the group has done so far
  • a 20 minute in-depth talk that will include:
    • Updates from Descriptive Metadata WG survey
    • Updates from Applied Linked Data group
  • There are opportunities for breakouts, but sign up soon
