Discussion Items 

 copy of proposal

1) A few questions that could fuel our agenda:

• have about 1 hour for the panel: https://www.conftool.com/or2014/index.php?page=browseSessions&form_date=2014-06-13
• need 4 or 5 panelists - shot for 5
  • Sarah Potvin
  • Elin
  • Bram
  • someone representing large harvesting initiative: OpenAir, SHARE, someone from Fedora linked data or EPrints, RIOACHS, Eurpeaona
    • Elin to get list of attendees to see if there is anyone who could be invited to participate
    • Stephanie will check to see if there is anyone from Dublin Core community
  • session moderator: Val 

2) Structure of the panel 

• I think it would be nice if we may be able to present a few opposing opinions on the three topics, and see how the audience reacts. e.g.

A new look at supporting and safeguarding standards

Someone who's highly in favor of doing a full migration to dcterms vs someone who presents the idea of a mixed approach where we keep some free text fields like dc.title.

Or someone who's in favor of adding custom/institution specific fields vs someone in favor of reusing external schema's like RIOXX or UKETD

Metadata for all

Maybe there's someone who wants to make a case for treating other dspace objects (coll, comms, bitstreams) differently when it comes to metadata?

Future proofing

Opposing/different opinions on what the priorities should be?

What do you think? would this make sense? How can we ensure that we "dumb it down" enough so that it appeals and affects the audience the most.
