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
