    2. Proposal: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1X0XsppZYOtPtbmq7yXwmu7FbMAfLxxOCONbw0_rl7jY/edit#heading=h.n8ktliibe7kj

15.  (DELAYED) Best Practices around Entities in Collections (NOT: this may just be early documentation).  We've suggested in the Preview Release to structure Collections based on Entity Type (Person Collection, Projects Collection, etc).  We should better document and formalize these best practices. 
    1. Should we eventually consider hiding these Collections which only serve to store Entity Types?

Notes

• Last meeting of the Entities Working Group (on indefinite hiatus).  Our working group is considered disbanded unless we find a reason to meet later in the year (if any remaining Entities effort is needed)
  
  • REST API effort (contract & implementation) for Entities is COMPLETE!
  • There are still some outstanding Angular and OpenAIREv4 PRs (see list of "PRs Needing Review" above), but NO MORE FEATURE PRs are expected
    • One exception we realized is that Dimitris from OpenAIRE is working on a PR to import  metadata from the OpenAIRE API (using the existing "Live Import" framework in DSpace 7).  This PR should be created by the end of 2019, and can be reviewed by volunteers in 2020.
• Next Steps for still open PRs
  
  • These are considered low priority to review/test.  The main DSpace 7 Working Group will be working in organized sprints to finalize the DSpace 7.0 release.
    • That said, volunteer developers can continue to review these PRs as they see fit.  Tim will also review & test them when his time allows (but only after high priority PRs are reviewed/tested first)
  • As Working Group is no longer meeting, any PR discussion should move to Slack or GitHub. 
  • If a small group wants to talk in more detail about a specific PR, the DSpace Meeting Room is always available for an ad hoc PR meeting.
• As the Working Group is not meeting any further, the "PRs Needing Review" list & Task list above can be kept updated to let volunteers know the current status of any remaining PRs
• Thanks again to all who participated in the DSpace 7 Entities Working Group !  It's been wonderful seeing the passion & energy for both Entities & OpenAIREv4 in DSpace 7.  Please consider joining our DSpace 7 Working Group in 2020 (if you have not already) to help us complete the 7.0 release!
