15.  Best Practices around Entities in Collections (NOT: this may just be early documentation).  We've suggested in the Preview Release to structure Collections based on Entity Type (Person Collection, Projects Collection, etc).  We should better document and formalize these best practices. 
    1. Should we eventually consider hiding these Collections which only serve to store Entity Types?

Notes

• Discussion of OpenAIRE v4 updates.
  • Jose presented this slidedeck (first 5 slides are the new updates): https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1G7JGRHq-qgQ44GSr3guBEUEQTb2-6JjKKsQ0-cPGkBM/edit
  • Some discussion around whether we should have separate "relationship-types.xml" and "schema.xml" (entity-types.xml) files specific to OpenAIRE
    • Tim notes that we might want to see if we can just update/use the core Entity "relationship-types.xml", if possible.   We need to determine though if there's significant overlap
    • For now, this approach seems good enough for a PR.  Once we see the PR, we might be able to more easily determine whether OpenAIRE needs custom configs, or if it can be added into the core Entities around Author Profiles / Publications.
• Discussion of Task List
  • Tim updated our list in this Wiki agenda based on last week's meeting
  • Lieven has internal estimates for the remaining tasks (except OpenAIRE and #12-15, which might be delayed).  See entities-task-list.pages.pdf
    • The top 7 tasks in this list have been subtotaled, as these are tasks that are already in progress – and that is the effort remaining in each task.  They total about 38 days of effort for 1 FTE.
    • The bottom 4 tasks have not been started, and perhaps could be candidates to move to the DSpace 7 Working Group meetings and/or reprioritize (as necessary)
  • Atmire feels these estimates are accurate.  We can at least use them as draft estimates for now, and check with Leadership / Governance if we need to do a more thorough estimation
• Assigned PRs and closed out meeting.  Next week we'll touch base again on OpenAIREv4 – hopefully there will be an early PR to discuss.
