1 | DC registry changes: Re: Updating the Qualified Dublin Core registry in DSpace | Metadata Sub-Team: Sarah P., Amy, Maura Valentio, Maureen |
Key points during the discussion:
Bram: Update to DCTerms and DCMI compliance ultimate goal – linked data compliance
Jim: agree – concrete goal to have positive effect on user experience. There are a lot of stds to chose from – need to pick what is useful to end users of DSpace – more likely to influence how people use DSpace in the end – goal of having DSpace work better with linked data – need goals to broaden a bit – look at end result rather than just chosing a std
Maureen
: if goal is better user experience – DCTERMS – how do we do that w/DSpace - incremental step DCTERMS namespace as interium step (due to limitations of data model – has to be 2 steps) cannot assign ranges to values
: want to be moving in a future dir – not QDC – clean up QDC (admin fields, customized fields) and add DCTERMS namespace and eventually move to
Amy
: ship DSpace with local registry and admin registry (more actionable, intergral to operation to DSpace)
: not much diff between updating QDC and flat DCTerms in terms of initial functionality
Maureen : add DCTerms namespace, DSpace would ship with 4 metadata schemas: QDC, existing/local and DCTerms
Jim: need to provide tools to migrate
Maureen
: more admin help on how to add metadata schema (how to do batch loading, cross walk – need cookbook for other (local) schemas)
: more attention to metadata fields are used for new features – more attn on if it is appropriate to chose (like emabargoo, new rss feeds) – how are we using metadata field to implement features – new feature is hinged on specific metadata field
--need to review what field new features use
--DC is assumed in a lot of places – be aware where the impact
--ex: item view page – dc.authors or dc.title – defined on item view page – need to discover where dc is hard coded – need to root it out
: need an update tool to update (oeverlay old) registry to new QDC, DCTerms
Bram
: need cookbooks for 2 main user case: both new users and updating users
: why: importing/exporting metadata is ever increasing – if we aren’t compliant from the harvest to/from – migrations become more challenging
Jim: funding sources are requiring more of the use and re-use of data – linked metadata is important evolotion
Sarah
: would like someone with DCTerms familiarity review the proposal - Maureen offered
: go through mapping
: confirming functionality and reqmts around DCTerms
Summary of DCAT proposal:
1) update/upgrade current QDC registry (current is DC/“DCMI Terms”
2) add DCTerms namespace – new parellel registry
3) Lockdown registries: offer migratory tool to pull out all local customizations, push into new local schema and lock everything else down; make it possible, but not easy to change QDC and DCTerms
Review of next steps:
1) finalize draft a proposal on updating DC following DCAT feedback (DCAT sub-team: Sarah P., Amy, Maureen, Maura)
4) discuss proposal with developers/cmtrs to understand limitations/pain points
5) revise proposal based on developer/cmtrs feedback
6) hold discussion / allow for feedback on proposal by DSpace community - and maybe the broader repository community
