Agenda

Discussion topic: DCAT objectives and meeting topics for the second half of 2016.

Together we will discuss the feedback from the recent email thread on what DCAT should be discussing in the next months.

Overall, 3 main topics were suggested:

  1. Contributing to the DSpace 7 user interface overhaul 
  2. Deeper functional and architectural ambitions: (meta)data model, complexity vs simplicity, ...
  3. Sharing best practices and challenges in the use of existing DSpace features

The feedback from the 6 respondents so far seem to indicate that:

  • There's interest in all of these topics
  • As a sub topic of #3, statistics look like the hottest topic so far.

Questions we could cover during the call to get a better view on how we can put agenda's together:

  • Is the monthly DCAT call the right forum for a group that would work on DSpace 7 UX?
  • Are you interested in being more involved in preparing/leading some of these meetings? Are there any interesting guest speakers we could invite?
  • Should we focus more on the interactive parts of doing Q&A and open discussions, or should we gear these calls into a more presentation-heavy format, where a presenter prepares a substantial piece of content to convey to the attendees?

We are hoping to get more input on top of the feedback of the 6 people who already responded via email, before we decide where we are taking the DCAT calls in the next months.

Meeting notes

Contributing to the DSpace 7 user interface overhaul

Tim Donohue clarified that the DSpace community has decided on Angular 2 as the framework for the new UI technology. The most important goals for DSpace 7 are to upgrade/improve the DSpace rest API, and to build a single, new UI on top of this REST API in Angular 2.

The REST API improvement work will be the preliminary back end work to be carried out first, before the entire UI can be built.

The call participants agreed that a separate working group makes more sense than having these discussions in DCAT, which is essentially an interest group. However, the UI/UX group can take the opportunity to report back on their progress or hit the DCAT audience with particular questions as one item on the agenda of a monthly DCAT call.

Several people including the following have expressed interested in joining this UI/UX working group:

Felicity Dykas

Monika Mevenkamp

Susan Borda

Tiago Guimarães

Pauline Ward

(*ED: please add your name or edit this list if I got this wrong)

Timeline for this group: Oktober-November to produce a first analysis and/or mockups for the new UI.

It is advised to leverage the work already done in the Use Case space


Deeper functional and architectural ambitions: (meta)data model, complexity vs simplicity, ...
