Conceptual Ideas / Proposals
...
- An updated version of the pull request based on current "master"
- We like the suggestion to rename "schemas" to "namespaces"
- We'd like it to use "metadatavalue" (and similar) tables rather than creating a new set of Metadata tables specific to other objects. We understand this may be more disruptive, but it seems odd to have different metadata namespaces
- If possible we'd want this change to be "backwards compatible" with existing UIs. The goal would be to perform this change in stages – first update the APIs to allow for metadata on all objects, then update each UI one-by-one. Hopefully we can get all of the UIs done before 4.0
- We also obviously could use some basic documentation / overview of the thinking behind it, so that we can vote this through sooner rather than later.

- Bram Luyten (Atmire): I think this work looks very promising and would be great to get finalized for 4.0. On the maillinglist, I also saw Pascal Nicholas's wish to get this into 4.0

Conceptual Ideas / Proposals
- REST API: We would like to have a stable, tested, read/write, documented, standards based REST API available. Already a working group has been formed to review the existing API's, and to evaluate the existing API's, and to research development of a new API. The API will either be included with the out-of-the-box DSpace, or it will be released a module to be enabled separately. The API working group will host a discussion panel at OR13 during the DSUG track. An API available will enable further re-use of repository data. Existing use-cases of the project range from building JS widgets to spit out a researcher's publications in repository to building a frontend web application.
