- Information transfer on data modeling and related functionality Tues including DropBox
  - Meeting was very informative and confirmed our basic approach
  - Allen (UPEI) is using the basic Islandora solution pack not Sidora (simpler models)
  - Allen will share content models
  - Sidora uses two navigation methods (1) the tree, (2) resources
    - Tree is only "concepts" - kind of major content bundle and generally used only once (thought not restricted)
    - "Resources" are more like content items that are to be used and re-used in association with "concepts"
    - The problem is that resources are harder to find for re-use
  - Erin will work one-on-one with me to work on smoothing the data (content, metadata)
- Was able to show subdirectory objects visibly in the tree
- Completed revision of the ITs to match the new configuration
  - But there are more improvements to both UTs and ITs needed
  - SimpleProcessorTest is particularly weak and there is a problem with Chris' DTO "equals" functionality
  - There is no test for proper content of datastreams (OCS is making datastream content so it needs to be tested)
- Working on refactoring SimpleProcessor to permit creating demo objects and ways to easily add business logic
- Nearly complete is a revision that permit adding a log message for ingest (the old one won't work
Revised characterization task to use DROID by itself (30% complete) - To restarted work last week
