2) New DCAT members

Val to send new members links to create wiki id and JIRA id
In call for new DCAT members Bram recommends making sure to be clear on commitment - only one mtg a month, some work in between

3) SPARC DSUG topics

Feedback on potential topics for tutorial/presentations/structured network:
- tutorial/presentation:
  - metadata work of interest
  - Univ of Indiana - Altmetrics statistics presentation - created policies around it - Stacy Konkiel, Jim Halliday, Bram to follow up
    - Follow up: Stacy & Jim can't make it. Maybe their colleague Jen Laherty can attend
  - secrets of the input form - Authority control features in DSpace, type based submission by Bram
  - CRIS module
- structured networking:
  - bibliometrics - altmetrics, statistical reports - why type of reports would they like to see?
  - DSpace licensing and CC licensing - how do you introduce

4) OR14 DSUG topics

Bibliometrics
- Altmetrics - Univ of Indiana
- Spanish National Research Council’s repository DIGITAL.CSIC. Isabel Bernal is the contact -- they implemented a rich set of statistics and other metrics (altmetrics), her article describing their experiences in Publications 2013, 1(2), 56-77; doi:10.3390/publications1020 and http://www.mdpi.com/2304-6775/1/2/56
Repo mgr content? Perhaps presentations on different national approaches (policies, harvesting, etc.) in Finland and other nordic countries compared to other countries
Difference between DSpace and Fedora; not really the right venue for this - better for SPARC

5) Metadata

Some notes in discussion topic above
5.0 mission: "death to the qualifiers"
- will be challenging, some terms won't map easily
- need to look beyond DC TERMS for ETDs cfr UK_ETD Application profile and research data cfr RIOXX
- DC.title to dcterms.title - rules around range values might not make the values map appropriately
- need to look at DC terms and how will map
- will prep for session at OR14
- hard coded issue - part of death to qualifer - whatever dependencies there are on fields, define them in config file, so it is easier to migrate
