2016-11-17—PCDM FileSets Meeting

Date and Time

November 17 2016, 2pm EDT

Previous action Items:

Stefano - gather use cases from various documents that describe the reasons for forming this WG. If needed put them into a single document on which we can all collaborate.
Drew - Do the same as Stefano, specifically for the Hydradam use cases.
Everybody - help formalize all use cases in a way that they can be turned into actionable tickets during our next meeting.

General agreement on use case document; some amendments and clarifications
Point 1 is more about establishing shared practices and providing guidelines for CC implementers to model content; it requires writing up some documentation
Some minor adjustments to the charter document needed
Only major decision point is whether we want to use FileSets to fulfill the planned functionality or completely do away with FileSets and elect a CC-specific class, inherited from pcdm:Object
- Both approaches need code changes
We can start creating a code repository and entering tickets; we will review the tickets and lay out an action plan in the next meeting
Some specific features, such as WGBH's links between Files (e.g. <XML metadata file> iana:describes <content bitstream>) are up to individual implementers; we want to keep the model as open as possible making only minimal assumptions
Same for point 4 (discoverability): each implementer should be working off of a shared base to tweak Blacklight to match their institutional discovery needs
Github repository: we can open a new repo under projecthydra-labs so we have a place for tickets centered on this WG rather than the individual projects that we are going to commit code to

@scossu: Adjust charter points to match use case document

@Andrew Myers: Open Github repository to start putting tickets

@Andrew Myers and others: enter key tickets in Github repo
