2019-05-23 DSpace 7 Entities WG Meeting

DSpace 7 Preview Release included our two initial use cases!  Journal Hierarchy & Author Profiles. However, plenty of work left to do (after OR2019)

• As Entities is now on the `master` branch, future Entities PRs should go directly against `master`

Determine Priorities for Phase 2 of Entities

Next Steps / Additional Considerations from our Documentation: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1X0XsppZYOtPtbmq7yXwmu7FbMAfLxxOCONbw0_rl7jY/edit#heading=h.hsdan1o4sji6

• Next Steps to Prioritize (unordered, but numbered for easy reference) 
  1. Dynamic display of Relations
  2. Configuration of batch import (via CSV) for Entities
  3. Permissions on Relations (who has permissions to add/modify/delete relations)
  4. Deleting objects with Relations (How or should deletion propagate between closely related objects, e.g. delete entire Journal)
  5. Author name variants
  6. Additional data for relations (essentially "metadata" or labels on relations)
  7. Submission integration (creating Entities & relations during submission)
  8. SWORD integration (submission of Entities via SWORD)
  9. AIP Backup & Restore (of Entities)*
  10. OpenAIRE v4 implementation using Entities*
• Is this list complete?

In order to make a big splash at OR2019, it'd be good to have some direction on the following

• Finalize / Review UI mockups / plans for creating Entities (and relations) in submission
  • Creating relations to archived Entities
  • Creating relations to new Entities
  • Creating relations in batch to archived Entities
• Metadata schemas for Entity Type field (relationship.type) and each Entity Type (e.g. People, Journal). See DS-4223
  • Submission form configuration per entity type
