Goals

• Update Data Migration Status
  • Jose reports that with their deepblue project has found that when an object has lots of files, that resources in the temp directory oveload the resources. Possibly the same as I see on ingest timeout.
  • Refactoring rake job into gem.
  • Creating controlled vacbulary for academ. units to avoid collections (i.e. dspace collections)
  • Steve: Pushing comm/collection names into item level metadata. Mostly for recovery (just in case).
  • Steve: Community collection organization is for: 1) browse - due to bad search, 2) reporting/stats (but facetable when created properly)
    • Need customizable reporting tools
  • Drew: Comm/Collection - Administration purposes. I.e. workflow. 
    • Steve: this is where the work on admin_sets, display_sets and workflows is going.
    • This functionality is collapsed in dspace. In Sufia we are trying to seperate those functions through workflows, admin_sets and display_sets
• Discuss the Display Set Working Group
• Outline tool-kit needs for presenting at OR2017
  • Update the wiki pages with any tools you are developing related to how to migration from dspace
  • We want to present a toolkit / instruction on how we approached it and ease the migration decisions that need to be made during a migration.
• Steve: Emails are out to devs to enter round 2 of the sprints on Mediated deposit. 12/12 - 3/?/17 - broken into 2 weeks sprints.
  • Richard looking into getting time, probably not earlier than February.
• Project Updates:
  • Using Bag Plugin for DSpace exports. Clean dspace data structure. Wildcard - how to do the metadata cleanup, etc... Will share code. (Josh @ Oregon)
  • Richard is working on a bagit packager
  • Aaron is working on a mets packager
  • Drew has completed a dspace 1.5 to 5.6 upgrade to prepare for the migration projects at JHU.
  • Jose/Nabella updating use cases for the Display set documentation.
