- REST API
- Look to replace Sakai bus implemenation with something else (Spring WebMVC?) – Unassigned (though Mark Diggory & Bojan Suzic have been discussing)
- Install REST API on http://demo.dspace.org
(allows for more testing/visability, etc) – Unassigned (Tim can take if no one else has time)
- "RESTFul DSpace" philosophy:
- Individual REST APIs should stay simple & not attempt to replace/rewrite any existing standards (e.g. SWORD).
- We should encourage multiple RESTful interfaces (similar to Twitter). For example, Search/Browse API may likely be separate from the basic REST API.
- We should also encourage multiple implementations (as necessary), with an eye towards choosing a "best in class".
- Discovery
- Prototype whether Elastic Search can be used as an alternative to Solr. (Assigned: Kevin Van De Velde)
- Vote on whether Discovery should become default or even "only" Search/Browse mechanism in future.
- Maven Project Consolidation
- Document our new standard Maven Project structure (SWORD2 is the model). Eventually this should go under: Advanced Customisation
- Test to ensure this new consolidated structure still works well with major IDEs
- Actually consolidate existing Maven subprojects (e.g. XMLUI and JSPUI subprojects) to use this new structure (Assigned: Mark Diggory with help from others)
- Mobile Device Support
- Look to better optimize our existing UIs for mobile devices (a vague task) – Unassigned
- Hope that a stable set of REST APIs can let others build native client apps or mobile-tailored UIs (e.g. ClientUI project (from GSoC 2011))
- Metadata for all Objects
- Any specific takeaways?
- Business Logic API
- Any specific takeaways?
- Virtual Summit itself
- Mostly positive feedback so far (Send your feedback to Tim!)
- In future, may want to hold Summit from Mon-Thurs (4 days). The Friday meeting is harder as it ends up being Friday evening in Europe/UK & Saturday morning in NZ.
- Regularly Scheduled Summit?
- Once a year? e.g. January/February
- Twice a year? e.g. January & May/June
- Three times a year? e.g. January, May & Sept
