- What are the core services that Fedora should offer?
- CRUD operations
- versioning
- authorization?
- transactions?
- fixity?
- What are existing standards that define services that we provide and which can be handed off to others. ie. LDP for CRUD, authorization - WebACL, versioning - Memento.
- A. Soroka: Some standards may be usable for part of the service: e.g. PROV-O or PREMIS may be a suitable ontology for a fixity service even if they don't explain interaction.
- Where there is not a standard, is there an oppourtunity to influence or start a standard.
- Features like transaction and versioning are attractive of Fedora4. Are those features core to Fedora4 or come from Modeshape, etc?
- We want clear agreement and responsibility of the core features. Standards based implementation would allow easier to move the data into and out of Fedora.
- Avoids any sort of lock in.
- All for adopting standards, depending on those standards. Say we have serialization, whom else is using this? If we go towards standards, we should look at who is using these standards.
- Good to make some movement in this direction.
