Topic 1

  • Presentation of group and current documents
  • Most part was discussion
    • Clarify term ‘repository’
    • Why datacite?
      • Suggestion: Find mappings from other MD standards to datacite
    • Remark: HEP community encodes MD in filenames
    • Considered METS? – Yes, but METS not interoperable (consider in MD table)
    • How to handle changes? – Not covered, yet
    • What about extended FS attributes? – Everyone can put all information into bag
    • Other initiatives: DataCrate, Codemeta
    • Idea: put profile into bag (for preservation)
    • Datacite: Could offer DOIs for profiles
  • Meet bi-weekly for 2-3 more times, then reduce frequency due to adoption effort
  • Try to get demonstrator running until P11 showing replication from A to B (to C)
    • Thomas (KIT DM export/import), Stefan (DARIAH Repo export/maybe import), Rolf (ICAT, export), David (Fedora export/maybe import)

 

Topic 2

  • Github for profiles
    • Try to find an existing registry (ask Nick/David)
      • Done, none known
    • Use github to host profiles for the moment
      • Registry still missing
    • Experience of other groups with github?
    • Keep in mind sustainability!
  • Platform identifiers
    • Re3data may add platform identifiers in future
    • Currently, no solution except putting list to recommendations document or skipping the platform identification
    • Same problem with sustainability!
  • Support for Collections
    • Current content of recommendations document acceptable by all participants
  • DataCrate
    • Review as related work (all)
    • Check how/if usable for our WG
    • Discuss in next meeting

 

Topic 3

  • Next meeting at 25 October, 2 pm UTC
