OAI Provider Predicates Prototype

...

  • Will move the discussion to next week.

Database connector

  • Proposed by Stefano Cossu and Nikhil Trivedi
  • Need to make a database available to view as nodes in Fedora
  • Similar to ModeShape metadata connector
  • Need to whitelist tables to make available
  • Map fields to node properties
  • Make data available
  • Need to create Fedora-specific nodes similar to file system federation
  • Seems like it would be generally useful to the community

F4 -> F4 Federation

  • Proposed by Stefano Cossu
  • Mirror particular content from one Fedora node to another
  • Use case: public Fedora mirror that only contains publicly available nodes (indicated with mixin)
  • ModeShape or JCR connector?
    • JCR-level might be more efficient
  • Greg Jansen: Maybe filter via access controls rather than federation?
  • Stefano Cossu: Need 2 Fedoras for load balancing and a public mirror outside the DMZ for security reasons
  • Michael Durbin: Federation layer is somewhat dumb. Difficult to emulate all repository functions between source and target
  • Greg Jansen: Probably easier to express security in a declarative way in one repository through XACML or something similar rather than running 2 nodes and trying to manage security via Federation
  • Stefano Cossu will work on this and report back

Packer/Docker/Puppet for Graphite server?

  • Packer script to generate a VM image?
  • Docker, Puppet, etc.?
  • Greg Jansen: Using Packer to make dev VMs on local machines

Handling Blank Nodes

  • Raised by Stefano Cossu
  • Blank nodes seem to be  somewhat supported in the latest build
  • Not sure if this comes from Fedora development or ModeShape?
  • No one on the call is familiar

Defining Order of Nodes in a Hierarchy

  • JCR has convention, ModeShape has an API, Fedora does not

  • Any thoughts on this?

  • Michael Durbin: Would like this a lot. Incompatible with RDF?

  • Stefano Cossu: Define with LDP properties?

  • Greg Jansen will add more detailed notes
