  • Please note that we have been having lots of connectivity issues with the "freeconferencecallhd.2096471600" Skype dial-in lately. Generally you can get on, but Skype seems to boot you off at regular intervals. To avoid the frustration we recommend dialing in via a Skype phone call -- simply use the Skype dial pad and dial the USA # 209-647-1600 and then the conference code # as prompted. You will need to have a Skype account with money in it in order to place this kind of call -- and it will likely be about 3 cents a minute, depending on where you are calling from. We are looking for other solutions to the problem -- and also for your suggestions if you know of other solutions.

3) Updating Qualified Dublin Core 

Summary of discussion

1. Refining current DSpace DC according to 2005 QDC recommendations VS aiming for adding DCTERMS as a new schema

The  spreadsheet currently proposes the first approach. It's less intrusive and already helps to get closer to more uniformity. However, it seems like the DC community itself, with the DCTERMS namespace is already a bit further down a different path. 

Adding a new schema and making it optimal for people to convert/migrate existing metadata to this new schema might in the end make it less intrusive than performing changes to the current standard DC which might affect everyone. 

2. Definition of "locked" schema's 

We started off with the question whether a potential standard schema should be locked on either the element level, or as far as the qualifier level. 

Given the fact that DC allows extensions, it's my fear that if we don't allow people to add at least qualifiers, that we're being to severe. Therefor locking could mean that both standard elements and their qualifiers can't just be renamed or deleted from the user interface. 

In terms of the element level, there seemed to be consensus that elements in a "locked" schema should be added, removed or modified. 

3. Migration path 

The usecase of someone starting with a new installation of DSpace with a shiny new standardized namespace seems very different from existing DSpace users who might be confronted with a lot of migration efforts & pain. 

If we can't come up with a concept, either with or without help of the developers, to make migration painless & riskfree, there might be very little uptake (given that we would be able to get something in the code to start with). 

Therefor, it might be a good idea to investigate in detail how far the impact goes when we start changing things here. A very quick list could be: 

Any process that create new metadata in dspace

- submission forms

- spreadsheet importer

- command line import

- SWORD

- built in OAI-Harvester 

Any process that displays metadata in the web user interface

- item pages

- search, browse, DSpace discovery 

Any process that delivers the metadata (potentially via crosswalks) to other applications

- OAI server

- REST API

- ..

4) JIRA workflow - did not discuss

5) Overlap discussion

-check to see if developers need feedback on any features

6) Thurs/Fri discussion

-more on Updating Dublin Core
