JIRA review

DS-1602 (Ivan/cmtr request fro DCAT input): Some metadata is not exported through OAI with oai_dc - "We'd love to hear comments from the DC standardization working group in DCAT about what is actually needed in this respect, in light of the proposed migrations. (Note: this will affect also other metadataPrefixes besides oai_dc, but DCAT doesn't have to worry about that.)"

DS-1204 (Ivan/cmtr request fro DCAT input): Submissions page should display Workflow Tasks before Archived Submissions

DS-1453 (Ivan/cmtr request fro DCAT input): repository content analysis - "This issue serves to collect requirements from repository managers and DCAT about what kinds of reports they would like to see in a proposed content analysis module. It has been often requested, but almost no requirements have been stated so far."

Metadata project

• Need DCAT input on metadata tools / ideas for tools
  
  • MetadataMapper tool - testing BEFORE Richard commits code? (in comments section Proposal to Update QDC Registry and Add DCTERMS Registry)
  • Web service add-on to remotely query and profile the metadata usage -  list all defined schema and within each schema, list all the defined metadata fields and how much they are used. Include the ability to 'harvest' these profiles from all participating sites, and combine the results (kind of like OAI-PMH harvesting) to get an aggregate picture of metadata usage. (in comments section Proposal to Update QDC Registry and Add DCTERMS Registry)
    
• Need DCAT input on process / next steps?
  
  • Starting with the following project chunks: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Phase+1+Project+Chunks
    
    • validate preliminary DC mapping
    • validate the phases/stagings - are all phases necessary/make sense: Proposal to Update QDC Registry and Add DCTERMS Registry
  • Metadata team to clear up DC mapping
  • Get more people/teams to review / refine mapping and project phases
  • Set up review group meetings (aka task & finish group)
• Volunteers/possible volunteers
  • Any good DC conference contacts (Sarah P?)
  • Jessica Lindholm from Univ of Malmo, Sweden metadata expert
