Interest Group Updates

• Metadata IG (Rosie)

  • Had a meeting on Monday. Discussed current process, what has been covered and where they are going with it.
  • Rosie to update group notes shortly
  • Getting feedback from Islandora Collaboration Group (ICG) re test migration from 7.x to 8 and will update process to put through the paces. Discussed having simliar default metadata schema.
  • Working with Islandora defaults for fields assignment etc.
  • Finding challenges in the basic metadata profile when strictly using DC as the RDF of metadata
  • Exploring ways to turn your Drupal node into other serialized content. Json-ld (linked data) is current functionality.
    • Can turn a node with its fields into xml but there are many export formats that could be put into Fedora potentially.
    • The additional challenge is working with so many export methods to put into RDF are useful but users wind up not using them ultimately.
  • Exploring Fedora rebuild methods while preserving Drupal work.

• IR interest group (Don)

  • Reviewed MVP document for 8 (created in 2016, not much has changed on doc and needed updates)
  • This month, going over doc again and reviewing what has been built and taken care of.
  • Creating instructions on how to assemble an IR in Drupal 8
  • Don to followup with notes.
