Minutes
Import/Export Feature
- Completed second, smaller sprint last week at Penn State
- First joint Hydra/Fedora sprint
- Client-side tooling that runs against the Fedora REST API that lets you dump resources (either all or a sub-tree) to the file system as serialized RDF and optionally the binaries
- Can re-import as well
- Design work done for doing round-tripping with BagIt bags
- Successful in terms of ownership - community-led by Nick Ruest
- Goal: make it as easy as possible to get stuff in and out in a standardized way
- Tom: If you are importing from Islandora/Hydra is there any validation for structural differences?
- Andrew: We have documented the expected format of exported resources
- Use case: Export from FigShare to Hydra/Fedora. Straight import would not produce a valid Hydra object in this case
- Use cases could drive additional tooling
- Andrew: We are collecting use cases, have not seen this one but it could be added
- Follow-on work will take place in December
CNI Panel Talk
- Proposal in-draft
- Tom will participate on panel, re:preservation
CNI Leaders Agenda
- What additional topics would folks like to have on the agenda?
- Dial-in will be possible
- Specific times for topics will facilitate that
- Topic: Market placement relative to competitor products
- Alma is moving into the library repository space
- Related to the current work of Fedora's value proposition
Membership update and final push
- Projecting a surplus for the year, although less than the membership goal
- Please help with a last round of out-reach
- David will help with messaging and email templates as useful
Fedora Camp NYC
- Two months out
- Break-even point is ~20 attendees
- Currently at 11 attendees
- Penn State is considering sending some folks to the camp
- Northwestern is considering sending some dev-ops folks to the camp
- Feedback: flying on Sunday after Thanksgiving is not attractive
IMLS Grant Pre-Proposal
- Duke, UT-Austin, UVa, Stanford and DuraSpace are co-drafting proposal
- Goal: Improve and facilate F4 adoption
- Request: Input from Leaders on four points defined for successful proposals:
- National Impact
Ideas- Museums: Fedora is affecting AIC productivity
- If easier to adopt Fedora, could increase diversity of repositories
- Could ease contribution to larger efforts: DPLA, SHARE, etc
- Somehow tie in preservation aspects of Fedora
- Workflows: camel tooling?
- Bundle open source applications into a solution stack
- Import/Export between other platforms and Fedora
- Current Significance
- Strategic Collaborations
- Demonstrated Expertise
- National Impact
- Question: How does this tie into HyBox?
- Likely in the context of "Current Significance"
- Deadline for proposal: Feb 1, 2017
Community Migration Initiative
- Last week at the DCFUG this topic came up
- Driven by NLM
- They have a large F3 repo
- They want to migrate to Fedora 4
- The stumbling block is data modeling
- Both modelling F3 objects as F4 and metadata mapping
- Proposal: a project with real data to go through the exercise and discuss the decision making process
- Some have done this exercise
- UCSD and Duke, available to give advice
- UT-Austin would like some help
- Northwestern is getting close to needing help (currently on 3.8)
- Hydra metadata WG has some good resources
