Dear Group Members,
We would like to bring your attention that the group is going to have a
plenary session at the upcoming IDW. The session is titled: Revising the
versioning principles: The road to actionable recommendations
.
We are inviting you to join the group session and present your related
work.
Here is a bit of context:
The group has delivered this supporting output: *Versioning data is about
more than revisions: A Conceptual framework and proposed principles*
in 2021, and collected about 38 use cases
,
from about 33 organisations representing different domains and data types.
In our last P20 group session, participants had a great discussion on the
principles, the FRBR framework and use cases. Key suggestions include:
– All metadata are at item level in FRBR framework; need to reconsider
if FRBR model is appropriate, would a version be at the item end?
– There is a lot of complexity (re the principles), may break down
complexity to different stakeholders: academic, data producers, repository
and alice. To make guidelines simple.
– Need to make clear to users the difference in changes in metadata and
data.
Thus the P21 proposal is structured to reflect the above suggestions. There
are agenda items to discuss the framework – FRBR or BiBFrame or any other
suitable models, as well as items for participants to present their data
versioning use cases – their practices and pain points.
It will be very great and appreciated if you can present your thoughts on
framework or use cases at the plenary session. The group session is
scheduled on Day III, Wednesday 25 Oct. UTC 9:30-11:00 | AT 11:30-13:00.
Please let us know by 30 September (2023) if you can present. Thanks!
Kind regards,
The group co-chairs: Jens, Lesley, Kirsten and Ming
