1. UIUC contract
- Quick review of where we are, what still needs action on our part
Our goal is to leverage as much of that as we can to achieve our goals. We promised them that we would take their records (that they harvested), analyze them to see what would need to be done to them to play well in GEM. Outcome of that is some report to them that says we think X% of the records are usable by teachers. Suggest some strategies for "purposing" them for education. Second is to load them into a separate partition of GEM and see how they play.
Action: Stuart still needs to send a request to Tim for the information we need. Action: Jon will zip up the collection records and send them to Stuart as a start. Stuart will try to load the Collection Records
Something has to be in GEM by the end of July, which can be done, analysis comes later.
Jon: Not clear how many records they have to actually serve up. Other things in their "browsable collections" are being served via GetRecord requests from other servers.
- Anything new on the money? Jon is worried about funding after April. No firm planning done yet because of Diny's illness. Intensive treatment ends this week, after that the plans for the NEA money can be finalized.
Action: Stuart will query Karen about the money.

3. New version document (Stuart has distributed)
- Question: What criteria should we use to determine how we will decide among options?
- Possible criteria: Whether software can make the distinction (given that reliance on humans, particularly untrained ones, is problematic)?
- Possible criteria: Whether the additional complexity enables a useful service to be created (if not, is purity or completeness sufficient reason)?
- Question: Is the ability for users to see previous versions (and perhaps view "diffs") a reasonable substitute for the complex typed tracking options, such as Melanie describes?
4. Registry demo at UB meeting
- What should it include?
- Is a live demo important?
- How important will it be to demonstrate versioning?
