Minutes

• JHU wrapping "package ingest extension" to POST bags to a given container in repo
  • Uses a streaming-oriented API (e.g. friendly to large chunked uploads, responds immediately with Server-sent events stream
  • JHU has use cases related to external tools generating bagged resources, transferring into repository for first time
• Elliot Metsger refactored docker configuration of demo images to make it easier to specify alternate ports for API-X, other services
• Christopher Johnson has been developing a suite of tools to support IIIF tools and workflows in Fedora, is using API-X in that suite
  
  • IIIF meeting in Vatican.  There is a subset of users that are interested in Fedora and/or API-X
• Amherst moving to v1.1.0 of repository extension services, has improvements to triple indexing as named graphs
  
  • Best for API-X to wait for this release before integrating into docker images
• Amherst triple indexer is more general then fcrepo for various reasons, not a drop-in replacement
  
  • Named graphs, not built around single-subject constraint
  • Does not filter by Indexable out of the box, but a user can add whatever filters they like
  • UMD was having heavy load on Fedora while indexing, may appreciate additional control
• Action item:  Replace fcrepo-camel-toolbox indexer with Amherst indexer in demo Docker images
• Want to remove as much internal logic from components (such as triple indexer as possible.
  • Leveraging API-X service binding to filter messages to async processes is compelling use case
  • NASA has multiple indexes, triplestores talking to triplestores, etc
  • API-X helps focus on data rather than technology/implementation details 
• Issues wiith Modeshape slowness
• Should put API-X on community calendar
