2. Review last week's action items
   1. Review tickets for putting diagrams to use cases.
   2. Review tickets for actionable steps toward fulfilling all other use cases:
3. Github team for the wg. Is that ok with everyone?
4. Create a dev plan for: Allow storing a binary file containing technical metadata about a pcdm:File.
5. Create a dev plan for: Allow customizing the role of a File within a FileSet.

Minutes

• Reviewing action items
  • Tickets for matching diagrams to use cases
    • Julie has been matching use cases to the diagrams in https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0ByRadxtBjDyjbTdGcGhadFJEclk
    • Wasn't able to find any to match https://github.com/projecthydra-labs/hydra_file_sets_wg/issues/5 (descriptive metadata for FileSets)
      • The difference between that and https://github.com/projecthydra-labs/hydra_file_sets_wg/issues/6 isn't clear
      • #5 is about FileSet metadata, #6 is about File metadata
• Github team
  • Reviewed team and added missing members
  • Any objections to this?
• Dev plan for storing binary file with technical metadata
  • Andrew Myers has been looking into this
• Dev plan for customizing File use property
  • Do we want to revise the PCDM Use vocab at the same time?
    • Probably not — this can be a generic feature that you can plug any terms into.
  • There's an issue that ActiveFedora doesn't allow changing rdf:type, so using a custom property when creating a File would work, but you wouldn't be able to change it later.
    • See https://github.com/projecthydra/active_fedora/issues/1165
    • This is a bigger issue, and can be handled outside of the FileSet WG
  • Should the PCDM use values be required to be unique in a FileSet?
    • Right now, trying to add multiple Files with the same use value would give you an error.
    • Maybe there is some other functionality that would address this use case?
  • Should have some wireframes for this?
    • Given the CurationConcerns/Sufia/Hyrax work, probably premature.
      • We should probably handle this in CurationConcerns 2.0 and fold into Hyrax when appropriate.
    • Maybe we could have a pulldown menu to select the use value when adding a File, or a form for each use value allowing upload of a file with that use value and/or deleting/replacing existing Files.
    • There are also use cases for multiple Files with the same use type, or no use type, etc.  This sounds like a feature request for handling those Files.
• Next meeting: 01/12/2017 at 2pm Eastern

Action Items

• Esmé Cowles: add a comment to https://github.com/projecthydra-labs/hydra_file_sets_wg/issues/5 outlining some of the examples we have discussed for richer metadata attached to a FileSet.
• scossu: draft a use case for multiple Files with the same use value, or no use value, attached to a FileSet.
