Scope & Objectives
This group will explore best practices for authorities that want to share their metadata through a linked data search API. This work is specifically looking to provide recommendations that allow for the creation of a common toolset that works across authorities supported by different agencies. The major outcome of this working group will be descriptions of the best practices in an easy to follow document empowering authority providers to create APIs and other deliverables that are compatible with supporting the development of a shared toolset. Additional documentation may be created providing authority consumers with a consistent pattern for writing tools and consuming authority metadata.
...
As the group process unfolded, it became clear that identifying use cases and user stories was necessary first step to insure the space was clearly defined. We hope that follow-on charters will address some of the original objectives statement.
Deliverables & Timeframe
Anticipated deliverables will include:
...
- Survey Results for Cataloger User Stories
- Cataloger User Stories for Working with Authoritative Data and Supporting Developer and Provider User Stories - This is a final summarization of the work of the first charter of the working group. User stories are organized into categories of related user stories. And each user story includes the priority as identified in the survey.
