1) Structure of the panel 

goal - see what problems people care about - what should we be tackling with metadata project

  • 10-15 min: introduction highlight WHO?
    • what the work has looked like so far - update dublin core stds in DSpace - seems like an abitrary or narrow task; actuality in looking at how DC stds have evolved looking at more complex metadata needs in the community
    • started in Austin committer mtg - commttters wanted to align DSpace dublin core with current std
    • part of the goal is to broaden discussion w/community 
    • metadata std not performing the way we want it to 
    • as we look at D6 look more at our reqmts
    • challenge aroudn flexibity: 1) ingest (material in diff std, need to map so fields import correctly), 2) crosswalks for exports - for harvesting or other purposes - metadata should be flex enought; 3) what you want to do w/in your own dspace - how easy is it to manage local needs - separate from import/export needs
    • point out problems 
      • not just stdardize to current dublin core
      • adding new metadata standards
      • clean ingests / or exporting - if funders have asked for clean ingests / harvesting - more plug and play / easy to use
      • getting data in and out is very important for CRIS - ORCHID - ecosystem is much more complex - need to coordinate metadata on national level  
      • dspace was built to be metadata agnostic - some fields are hard coded - like date 
      • creating CRIS friendly metadata - creating separate namespace 
      • creating custom fields - requires you to login to XML in order to do so or sometimes a Java programer to do and rebuild 
    • why we are having panel, what we want to get out of it
    • validate ideas/plans - not missing a reqmt from the community or reqmt by external standards
  • 5 min or less each: each panelist present backgrounds and views
    • specific examples of current challenges and some approaches/solutions
    • summary of problems all dealing with
    • set up to explain backgroud - how and why we are invovled in this panel - show audience which person they might most closely relate to 
  • Discussion: a few topic prompts to guide discussion
    • how does this plan sync up or create conflicts with your current work?
    • linked data - what benefits are there in linked data?
    • how to serve common use cases - as everyone repositories evolve? 
    • how have people hacked DSpace to get it to do what they want - make sure current plan addresses some of those needs
      • linking articles and journals in DSpace, ability to define relationships
      • CRIS heiararchal metadata needs to be flattened in order to bring into DSpace
    • what are the priorities and more imminent problems to tackle
