Fedora Value Proposition
Has not been shared to fedora-community, but has been in fedora-tech call notes. Gathered enough feedback or more needed? Multiple statements to be used to inform marketing. Suggestion that individual write the document to keep message and tone consistent. Select members of Steering to refine statements.
Decision made to close down initial brainstorming and to hand off to select Steering members to refine for further solicitation for comments. Will leave open until end of week. David will notify tech and leaders about impending deadline to contribute to initial phase.
Preservation Statement
General support for splitting off OAIS section. Next step probably to resolve comments and begin to draft statement. Volunteers have offered to move that forward.
Some disagreement regarding Fedora as preservation system and definition of preservation. Suggestion of coming to some agreement over what is preservation. SP points out that Fedora has, in the past, been considered by her to be a preservation system. Fedora marketing for more than a decade did pose Fedora as a preservation system. Perhaps multiple documents needed as this appears to be both technical document and fact sheet. Support to split technical document from more marketing-focused section including OAIS section. Explication of audience should inform both documents. David will split draft into distinct areas and clean up comments. David will form group including David, Andrew, Jim, Declan, Giarlo, Cramer, Steve, Stroop, Stefano, Ginny, and Aaron.
Preservation case studies from select implementers would potentially be useful. Also interested perhaps survey on a broad definition of what preservation means not tied to specific specifications like OAIS. Volunteers include Tuttle, Marks, Kurtz ... David may be able to suggest others who weren't in attendance today.
Fedora Camp NYC
Logistics going well. 5 registrants 3 months out. Down from expected progress. Want 20-25 paid registrations. Please consider registering if interested and help publicize the event.
Import/Export Feature
Spring started 8/29. Good mix of people and roles. Phase 1 focused on creating client side tooling to interact with Fedora importing and exporting in RDF way. Phase 2, hosted by Phase 2, to include Bag-it. Not a blocker to 4.6.0 as it's all client-side.
Open Science Framework/Fedora Integration Use Cases
Some members suggested they might have relevant use cases. If you have an interest, please respond. Payette expressed interest and asked for clarification about Fedora as source or destination in existing projects. Andrew explained that some are interested in ingest into Fedora as automated process after data stored on other systems. Could lead to larger conversation about communication between storage and discovery, data flow between them, and implications on other integrations such as VIVO. Andrew also discussed this as a possible method of Fedora expansion into Europe.
Fedora Performance at Scale Issues
For containers with multiple members, like a collection, if the members grow to the thousands, performance suffers. Exploring 3 avenues: including Hydra-level-change in directionality so members point to collection. Ben at Columbia was working on 2 Fedora optimization approaches but was redirected. HyBox has tasked 2 developers to assist.
