Several members of the PCDM FileSets Working Group met at HydraConnect 2016 to discuss use cases for the proposed changes. We had a very informative dinner which ended up with a lot of drawings being pinned to the restaurant wall.

The use case drawings that we drafted during that meeting have been digitized and gathered in a shared folder: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0ByRadxtBjDyjbTdGcGhadFJEclk
Overall agreement on the role of FIleSets in the Hydra architecture
- FileSets describe digitized content, which becomes semantically separated from real world objects. This is the main motivation behind this WG.
- Some uncertainty around the concepts of descriptive and technical metadata; this should be addressed at an institutional level and Hydra or PCDM should not get in the way.
- Some assumptions may be made by Hydra: e.g. Hydra will always create a FileSet when ingesting Files, and Files cannot exist independently from a FileSet. This however is not a PCDM requirement.
Some use cases need further discussion in order to establish a way to fit them into the current proposal.
