Notes
Associated Admin Sets
Associating a Display Set with an Admin Set is optional.
When would you NOT need this association?
You do not want to create works directly in a Display Set. All works will already exist before adding to a Display Set.
You do not create any Admin Sets, such that all works are in the default Admin Set
You do not want to use any workflow beyond the default workflow.
You do not need any Admin Policy Objects (APOs) for controlling visibility of works
Why would you want to do this association?
You want to create works directly in a Display Set AND...
You would like to have one or more custom workflows
You want to have one or more APOs
Behaviors
Prep: Configure the association between a Display Set and an Admin Set
When creating a work directly from a Display Set...
the relationship to the Display Set is automatically set
the relationship to the associated Admin Set is automatically set
the workflow and APO for the Admin Set is applied to the new work
When adding an existing work to a Display Set
this has no impact on the membership of this work in an admin set
Branding Issue
Want the ability to custom brand Display Sets.
Minimal Set of branding customization:
logo - possibly multiple logos for joint ventures
public landing page vs. show page for display set management
description
basic html that can include links
how browse, search, facet from the Display Set landing page
Proposal to replace User Collections with expanded Display Sets
There was a proposal by @newmanld that Display Sets subsume the User Collection code base. This will effectively replace User Collections with the expanded functionality provided by Display Sets. This requires a broader conversation with the community.
Questions:
How are User Collections being used?
Can Display Sets fill that need?
Would this require that any user can create a Display Set?
Would any user be able to make a Display Set public? (NOTE: User Collections do currently have visibility controls by default in Sufia. I'm not sure if you can disable the ability of users to set visibility for their user collections.) <Comment from @newmanld: Would the ability to affect visibility controls for a Display Set be controlled by the Admin Set? <Comment from @newmanld - see also my comment at bottom of this page: Requirements - Admin Sets vs. Display Sets vs. User Collections>
