Minutes
Open Repository coming up in June
AIC has started implementing Fedora4. There is a chance that they will present their plans and reports remotely.
XACML attributes
- Greg & Eric are working on XACML
- Interface is ready to implement
- Policies are retrieved from repo: auth request -> modeshape delegate -> XACML request
- Policy objects can be anywhere
- Policies can be grouped in policy sets, retrieved by UID
- Hydra IDs/metadata can be translated into roles via sequencers
- SPARQL/RDF is best way to store and retrieve
- Attributes are find by querying by predicate - likely no extra configuration is needed
- Attributes are collected to make pieces of auth logic, e.g. embargo date attribute can be used to validate access before/after a certain time/date
- Andrew: Auth rules are not honored in triplestore or Solr index. We need to support that.
- Greg: There is some design
- Esme: As far as you index in Solr correctly you can configure Solr to do that by mapping roles to Solr entities
- Andrew: is the XACML engine external and is it deployed as separate process?
- Greg: it will be internal at first, externalizing it needs lot of plumbing
- Andrew: another concern is performance, but if it's not bad it's better to keep the XACML engine external in order to keep the Fedora core codebase clean
- Greg: maybe as a second pass
- Initial draft implementation will be in next sprint
LDCX report
- un-conference and forum for technologies for library archives focused on Hydra, Blacklight, Fedora, IIIF
- Andrew and Esme were present
- Hydra
- Strong Hydra community
- Was pointed out that the F4/Hydra connector needs more resources and more focus
- 25 developers participated to hackfest
- Good engagement, some new faces
- Sufia, ActiveFedora 8, Fedora Lens are the main Hydra stack elements
- Focus on mapping RDF to addressable properties
- Focused on having a demo which can be a model for other developers to build upon
- IIIF
- Might possibly integrate with Fedora
- K. Clarke has done some work in that direction
- Integration point would be hat IIIF server accesses Fedora server to get images
- Kevin: Sequencers can be involved
- NWU heavily relies on disseminators for images, could be a good use case
- AIC also uses pyramidal images with IIP, want to automate PTIFF generation and retrieval through Fedora
- ResourceSync
- 21st CEntury's OAI/PMH for sharing metadata across repositories
- Based on Google Sitemaps
- We already have sitemap feature in F4 but Fedora might not use the same machinery
- There could be an implementation of rsync for F4
