From Metadata-Registry
Agenda and Notes, Nov. 29, 2006
1. Reviews of action items (and nags)
- Progress on Registry blog posts on activity at DC2006? (Jon, Joe, Stuart)
- Mirror and intermediary (Stuart & Jon)
- Diane cannot report on whether DC-Ed reports in PDF were linked properly, DCMI web rebuild has been postponed!
2. Updates on discussions for new NSDL proposals
- Stuart: Diny, Gillian & Lee--anything new?
- Diane: will report on preliminary proposal to library
- From the last notes: "Two things going on: combining to get themselves physically in front of Lee. Diny's friend Gillian is head of the Australian Learning Federation and is very interested in the same things we are, so they're trying to take ASN international. Diny asked Lee if there were any other organizations in other countries NSF was already working with (or wanted to work with), and Lee jumped in it. He has some money for workshops. As soon as there is more info from Gillian they will make their appointment to see Lee, and combine this with our metadata ideas and see what direction we can get from Lee. Stuart already has our briefing paper, and he thinks that perhaps we should reframe the opening paragraph to say:
- given the fact that Fedora implementation is nearing completion, and that primary services that have not yet been defined as services would need to be defined going forward (loose threads). Fedora is the enabling technology but more concrete work on services is still needed
- Action item: Diane will start the paragraph and send to Stuart." (not done)
3. Technical issues:
- Wiki was spammed--what are we doing to prevent another attack? (Jon)
4. Documentation:
- From last meeting: Reviewed Draft Step-by-Step documentation and decided we should substitute it for the current instructions on the Registry front page (Jon?)
- Action Item: Stuart will develop an outline for additional documentation (on the wiki) (Stuart)
- Action Item: Diane circulated the link to the vocabulary development things gathered for the Vocabulary Workshop so they can be evaluated for inclusion in the documentation.
