Communication

E-Mail list will be hosted by FU Berlin (thank you).

We will also create a private Slack group.

Goals and Scope of the Working Group

  1. to determine if and which changes are necessary for DSpace to become fully compliant with GDPR; 
  2. to explore whether recommendations can be given about how to run DSpace in a GDPR compliant way (including recommendations for a data protection statement and regarding DSpace’s configuration);
  3. to enhance the DSpace manual/documentation with regard to the GDPR and data protection; 
  4. to implement necessary code changes in cooperation with the DSpace committers

FU Berlin / Andreas Sabisch could share process description (Verfahrensbeschreibung) in German. It would be great if we could translate it to English an provide it as a template.

Create templates for policies.

Ideas about how to get started

  • Find out what GDPR asks us to do.
  • List which data DSpace is gathering.
  • List how DSpace deals with this data.
  • List which processes must be put in place on side of running repositories.

Actions until the next meeting

Philip and Pascal will start a list of data gathered in DSpace.

Stephanie Hinrichs will ask the data protection officer from her university about litertature and starting points regarding GDPR.

Document coming about what one two service providers change on DSpage with regard of GDPR.

Everyone: Please get a wiki account and an account in DSpace-Slack. Please follow the documents coming up in the private wiki space.
