Sue: exploring learning object repos - does anyone know of any learning repos using
- Bram: OpenJorum Jorum (also mentioned by Ciaran). Other DSpaces that include OER's (open education resources):
- Ciaran: In relation to using DSpace as a repository of learning objects, the NDLR site in Ireland is at http://www.ndlr.ie, with the repository element available at https://dspace.ndlr.ie. We’ve also been working with MIMAS in the UK on upgrading Jorum which will be re-launching shortly, but the current version of the repository is available at http://resources.jorum.ac.uk/xmlui . Finally we’ve also been working with NCEL in Saudi Arabia to implement a repository based on the NDLR site in English and Arabic which will be launching shortly and which will also be hosting learning objects (https://maknaz.elc.edu.sa, repository at https://dspace.elc.edu.sa).
2) ALA meet up Fri 1/28 eve: Sarah P., Amy - Sarah P. to send msg to see if anyone else is interested
3) Update DC
Sarah P: clarify the the level of lock down
- make additions (qualifiers to elements in the schema) but not allow deleting or modifying fields unless you go through 2 step process - set up in configuration file
- Current default behaviour:
- fields can be added, changed or deleted from any schema
- Proposed default behaviour
- qualifiers can still be added
- entirely new fields can still be added
- existing fields from a standardized schema can not be deleted
- existing fields from a standardized schema can not be altered/abused for something non standard
- Proposed "override" behaviour
- Repository managers can override the new default behaviour by flipping a safety switch in the dspace.cfg
- After flipping the safety switch, they can do changes and deletions to any field in the interface just like before.
- Current default behaviour:
- need for robust upgrade/migration tools
- Sarah to make refinements on proposal
Bram: How does DCAT proposal intergrate with other projects
- "Metadata for All" - fully included in the proposal for metadata enhancement. So no need to ask about both of them in the DCAT proposal already
- "Proposal for Metadata Enhancements" - technical description of changes, but seems consistent/aligned w/DCAT proposal
- all DCAT members should review wiki page, make sure it is consistent with DCAT proposals, post questions in comment section at the bottom of the page
- Amy to create wiki page for proposal: Proposal to Update QDC Registry and Add DCTERMS Registry
- Gather JIRA tickets that might be affected by DCAT proposals - put on wiki page w/the proposal - metadata team and Bram
