Agenda/ Notes
- We discovered immediately that this Google Hangouts has a 10 person limit. Some people may have been blocked out of discussion. Apologies for anyone who got kicked off, but we'll meet on Zoom for the next meeting (see below)
- About the Working Group / How it was formed
- About RCAAP : Presentation by Paulo L
- Motivation : Presentation by Paulo G
- Work done (by RCAAP): Presentation by Paulo G
- Scenario #1: DSpace-CRIS pilot (decided they were not ready to move to yet)
- Scenario #2: Built out DSpace 5/6 with custom features (author profiles from Atmire adapted to JSPUI)
- Scenario #3: Decided they'd rather participate in Dspace development. This is how discussions started and this WG was established
- Entities Working Group purpose and objectives: Presentation by Jose Carvalho
- Identified a few models to work from
Top / Down (starting at DSpace-CRIS)
Bottom / Up (starting at community needs)
- Discussion
- Tim: Could we mesh the two models (top/down and bottom/up) together? Start at community needs, prioritize those needs...analyze how DSpace-CRIS can meet these needs?
- Andrea B agrees. Same with Mark W
- Andrea reminds of DSpace 2.0. Tried to find "best solution", but it was too distant from current DSpace. Impossible to migrate to it. We don't want to repeat that obviously
- DSpace-CRIS built as an addition (different dev pattern) for this reason. Keep it close to DSpace roadmap.
- Andrea: DSpace-CRIS is also a larger community. 70 installations in Italy. 30-40 around the world, with increasing interest. Discovered interest in Germany too (at DSpace German User Group Mtg)
- Don't want to lose these users to publishers or proprietary CRIS systems
- Ideally, any new CRIS-like system enhancements should be an evolution of DSpace-CRIS
- Should we start at use cases (and prioritize)? Then analyze how DSpace-CRIS aligns (or doesn't)
- Some agreement here
- Can you split DSpace-CRIS into software parts? Or is it an entire bundle?
- Can enable/disable functionality easily
- But, it is shipped more like a bundle right now.
- Joao: Perhaps it'd be good to start with one major use case and do a deep dive into DSpace-CRIS to see how it handles it?
- Lieven agrees. Use cases take a while to fully build out. Start in one area first. Get a good understanding of DSpace-CRIS
- Tim agrees. Author or Author Profile pages is a good place to start? That is also a frequently requested feature outside of CRIS
- Others agree that Author / Author Profile pages (aka Research Pages) would be a good starting point
- Stephen: One of the intro presentations implied that DSpace-CRIS is "closed"? Is it really? Impression is that it's open, but just a slightly separate community
- No it isn't closed. But, it is primarily developed and supported by one institution (4Science). So, it's not as widely known/understood
- But it has the same open source software license as rest of DSpace. Uses the same mailing lists. Presents at the same conferences (Open Repositories, etc)
- Also, is DSpace-CRIS following DSpace roadmap?
- Yes, 4Science is highly involved in DSpace 7 efforts and DSpace-CRIS will be moving on the same roadmap as DSpace 7
- DSpace-CRIS solves multiple needs. It's an advanced repo that better integrates with other (external) CRIS systems. It's also possible to use as a standalone CRIS system + repo combo.
- DSpace-CRIS allows you to enable/disable features to either make it a full CRIS, or just an advanced repo that integrates well with an external CRIS system. Different users configure it differently
- Next meeting plans?
- Meet in two weeks at same time. Friday, Oct 27 at 15:00UTC (11am-12pm EDT, 8am-9am PDT)
- Main agenda item will be a deep dive into how DSpace-CRIS manages Authors and Author Profiles (Researcher Pages).
Next time we'll meet via Zoom. This will avoid the attendee limits. (Joao has a Zoom account we can use)
- Tim: Could we mesh the two models (top/down and bottom/up) together? Start at community needs, prioritize those needs...analyze how DSpace-CRIS can meet these needs?
