What current model code doesn't do that I would like it to do?
- !!! change from DC:creator to PROV ontology
- !!! id_prefix - would like to move id_prefix from my code to ActiveTriples gem. It is the only thing in ResourceExtension and is a bad implementation as it dups the code for generating a URI and makes a small change to that code. This is not good for long term maintenance.
- !!! id generator code when id is passed in as nil
- !! set default for motivatedBy
- !! property validation (type - URI, class, etc; value count - only one, multiple allowed; etc.)
- !! easy manipulation of multiple values
- default UI for annotations???
- hook into a SOLR index
Potential cool enhancements?
- callbacks for generating URIs for model classes
- example, callback that gets URI for a person from VIVO given their netid (DEFAULT); settable to other universities system for generating a person URI
Questions?
- should helper methods go in the model classes?
- should there be a controller class associated with each model?
- should the bibref class exist?
GEM Planning
This should be two gems, one for virtual collections and one for annotations.
Virtual Collections GEM
Feature List

| Infrastructure | ||
| Questions | Configure triple store for persistence. | Currently code to connect to triple store is in initializer/rdf_repositories.rb. Issues:
|
| 0% | Person URI service | Given a netid (or other id) convert this to a person URI. Make it a plug-in call-back service. |
| VirtualCollectionRDF model | ||
| 100% | Create a virtual collection model. | |
| Included | Set values and persist. | |
| 10% | Support multiple values for a property. | Kludge allows for multiple values for a property. Can we make this easier for the user? |
| 10% | Support URI(s) as values for a property. | See also, Support multiple values for a property AND Support property type validation. |
| 10% | Support property type validation. | Minimal validation is part of ActiveTriples when a classname is specified. |
