  • Betsy mentioned she is close to having steps to produce a corrupt repository, and will file a ticket soon.

  • Jeremy described his experimental work using Fedora 4 with BIBFRAME data
    • There is a Library of Congress tool to transform MARCXML records to BIBFRAME using XQuery.
    • He has been processing the output with a Python script to break it down into several separate BIBFRAME entites and saving each as a Fedora object.
    • He has also been storing the serialized versions as datastreams.  This approach could be used in a workflow system as items are being processed.
    • The performance isn't great.
    • Esme: The upcoming Java client might be able to handle some things like this.  Some sources (like Fedora 3) will be very common.  But other than that, it would be nice for people to be able to plug in metadata transformation processes like this and get the rest of the benefits of the common ingest functionality.
