Topic 1

• P8 report
  • Successful kick-off session
  • Talks about refresh of SWORD protocol, Fedora community effort on import/export via BagIt, results of COAR initiative in terms of repository interoperability
  • Collected additional adopter platforms and contacts

Topic 2

• Two main Goals:
  • Concretize use cases, requirements and possible solution approaches (interface, service, tool, exchange format?)
  • Collection of state of the art of (research) repository interoperability
• Consider other initiatives, RDA WGs and consortia, not only technologies/standards

Topic 3

• Dariah collection registry
  • Currently OAI-PMH support, not fully clarified how to handle information from other collection registries (copy obtained content into Dariah collection registry?)
  • Add Dariah Repository to list of potential adopters in WG Wiki (Done)
• ICAT metadata catalogue as potential adopter platform
  • New OAI-PMH support in order to be OpenAire compliant
• Suggestion: Add additional categories to state of the art entries
  • Description: full text paragraph or relevance for group etc.
  • Type: type of the state of the art candidate, e.g. data model, specification, tool (Co-Chairs: check if there is a vocabulary for possible types in other RDA groups)
• Suggestion: Add adopting platforms and supported interoperability feature matrix
  • Add list of adopter platforms at the end
  • Create matrix mapping platform to already supported state of the art technologies/standards
  • Goal: Identify common standards we can base our work on
• Working plan/responsibilities
  • David Wilcox: Fedora Import/Export via BagIt, Portland Common Data Mode, Linked Data Platform
  • Thomas Jejkal: OAI-PMH, METS
  • Stefan E. Funk: Dariah Storage API
  • (Dom Fripp: SWORD)
• Add initiatives dealing with interoperability, e.g. OpenAire, and describe their approach

Topic 4

• Collect minutes and send to list (Co-Chairs)
• Continue with primer document (Group)
  • Feel free to contribute by adding more technologies, initiatives, standards
  • Please login to edit if there are further questions
• Contact platform technology contacts as soon as the state of the art list is ‘complete’ to fill out the feature matrix (Co-Chairs + technology contacts)
• Prepare session proposal for P9 until January 10, 2017
  • Presentation of (final) primer document
• The next virtual meeting will take place in January 2017
