PID Kernel Information WG: Aug 31 meeting

RDA PID Kernel Information VC - Aug 31 - notes

 

  • Structural metadata: Is the KI in PID records the canonical/unique location for PID metadata? Suppose it is dangerous to *only* have it there

    • Leads to a normalization problem - the authoritative version may reside elsewhere.

    • So: Is PID record info just a cache for the structural metadata?

    • How are the other metadata categories covered?

    • Another argument against the KI in PID records as authoritative source is that this causes the (existing) permissions issues when others need to change PID records.

  • Larry: difference between repositories and registries is merely one of function. Thus, combination into a single software (cordra) that can act as one or the other

    • Provide access to object vs. registering

    • Does not prescribe a specific viewpoint on digital object - metadata relations; fairly low level

  • Granularity: proposition of Handles is that they can be assigned at lower level than DOI. does not preclude collection-building. The finest level we see is the DTR use of PIDs - assigning them to lowest level of things such as integers, units..

 

  • DOI experience

    • Push for a consistent body of what comes back from a DOI

    • Reg agency push back: not a lot of metadata should be put in that was considered less useful

    • Profile: what kind of DOI was this? Enable a 2 step process.

      • Software for this built and worked, but did not catch up. Not necessary for RAs to do their business - 1-to-1 redirection was sufficient.

      • New push with LD, movie industry usage ...

    • What was the content of the profiles?

      • There was to be no minimal set, there would be several

 

  • Criteria for sorting out the profile contents:

    • Structural metadata perspective

    • Performance

    • Ulrichs notions: Workflow that ends with the decision-making, typing for yes-no-decisions - functional rather than semantic view

  • Does the combination of these give an answer to: is an object FAIR?

  • Can we make progress on these in the next weeks and put them up for comprehensive discussion at P10?
