Meeting Notes

Info
titleInitial Meeting Notes

Most of the below notes are just copied from this Community Notes page: http://piratepad.net/or11dspacemeetingImage Added During the meeting we had encouraged everyone to take notes on that PiratePad page.

Brainstorming Activity:

GSoC Updates:

  • SKOS Authority Controls
    • SOLR Based authority control plug for DSpace. Term completion against stuff you put in your SOLR.
    • Always lacking: authority control is always a list, but controlled vocabularies are graphs/networks. Usecase Nescent: SKOS Hive (built on sesame) authority source, now exposing this through SOLR in DSpace submission forms.
    • Feedback on enhancing authority control in DSpace:
  • WebMVC (Freemarker UI development) - Talk on this Saturday
    • Instead of newer features, project is mainly focussed on completing the existing UI functionality. (a modern JSP UI).
    • Feedback on WebMVC
  • Submission Enhancements in DSpace
    • In-browser interface to edit the submission interfaces
    • Feedback on submission enhancements in DSpace:
      • (Elin noted we need to be careful about our usage of the term "Workflow".. developers sometimes have a different interpretation to community)
    • Reviewer workflow - Talk on this Friday
    • Framework for more flexible workflows (different edit steps, etc)
    • Feedback on reviewer workflow:
      • Elin: need for a common terminology on Workflow vs Submission. Is Submission part of the workflow according to the developers?
  • New UI built over RESTful services
    • Yes, it's kind of a new UI. But more oriented over building widgets, over the REST API.
    • Aimed at better testing the REST API
    • Returning student (Bojan) now serving as mentor, which is a 'GSoC first' for DSpace
    • Licensing (strict GPL requirements) has become a big factor in decisions re: toolkits/frameworks/etc to use
