Tim / Lieven
410minsDefine early prototype assessment planHow would this group like to assess the early prototype? Do we need to establish a separate subgroup for detailed analysis? Do we schedule more frequent meetings (early on) to proceed more quickly?Tim

Notes

All meetings will be recorded. Recordings and brief/summary notes will appear here after the meeting



  • Introductions - All introduced selves & institutions
  • Discussion of how to assess prototype
    • Lieven notes we could split Prototype Google Doc into sections (6 total) and discuss one section per meeting
    • May be able to get through more than one section per meeting (3-4 meetings)
    • Pascal notes we should see where the comments/questions come up in the Google Doc.  May be hard to discuss one section at a time (lots of overlap)
    • Andrea notes he still has some unanswered concerns (from April) that came up during original DSpace Entities Working Group (2017-18) (preceding group)
    • Susanna suggests comments on Google Doc may be of two types...(1) about compliancy to functional requirements (is the prototype compliant to requirement x?), or (2) about how requirements are met (is compliancy with requirement x implemented in the right/best way?).
      • Tim notes this probably is OK.  If we bring these questions to discussion, then it should be obvious which type of question/comment each are.
  • Next Meeting
    • Tues, September 11 at 15:00UTC (same time)
      • Concentration on Data Model of prototype and any concerns/questions around that.
    • May need to run a Doodle for other meeting times (Sept is busy). We should aim for 3-4 meetings in Sept to keep on schedule

Action Items

Any assigned actions will appear here, along with details of who they are assigned to.

  • ALL: Review the Prototype Google Doc (at least the first two sections – "Configuration of the entity types and their relations" and "Java API).  Add comments/questions to the Google Document itself, in preparation for next meeting.
