DRAFT METS Meeting Notes 2018 11 29

Aaron Elkiss edited this page Jan 24, 2019 · 2 revisions

Attending: Aaron, Jukka, Richard, Robin, Tobias, Tom

Meeting times:

Can we change our meeting time to be kinder to Sean (New Zealand)? Moving it earlier would be difficult for US west coast, while moving it later would be difficult for the UK and Europe. Could we compromise by scheduling every third meeting 3 hours later? Discuss further via email to get wider Board input.

Face to face meeting for 2019

iPres is preferred. Note there will be a cap limiting attendance at iPres in Amsterdam, so register early.

METS Rights

Robin WILL ask Nancy if she will transfer the rights to DLF(?) so we can CC0 them, or if she would CC0 her rights.

New members

Tom will reach out to both previous candidates to see if they are still interested.

xLink updates

See issues on https://github.com/mets/METS-board/issues:

#19: Can someone provide an example with xlink:href and without xlink:type that fails validation? If not, no action is needed.

#20: The examples now appear to be correct. Aaron closed this issue.

#28: The METS schema documentation and structure diagram still reflect v.1.9. The documentation is automatically generated. Tom will investigate other ways of generating this output. The structure diagram is generated at Berkeley, raising a 403 permissions error. Whom can we contact about that?

#30: Will adding the resourceLink attribute group (from http://www.loc.gov/standards/xlink/xlink.xsd) to mets:div cause backward incompatibility?

#31: review and revise METS overview. Aaron will send the link (here; Richard and Robin (and other board members) will review.

#32: This is complete pending editing the overview. Then we post it.

#33: smLink missing the xlink:type attribute (similar to #30). Aaron proposes to make from and to optional and use the arcLink attribute group (similar to #30), but there may be backward compatibility concerns. Either ask METS list for examples from people who use smLink and/or look through METS profiles for use.

Calendar setup for next year

Karin to contact Brian. Is Brian still on the Board?

iPres 2019

Think about call for papers or tutorial, possibly a joint tutorial with PREMIS. Richard would be happy to help with a tutorial. The call for contributions opens on Dec. 3; no info on when the call closes. We should take this up in January.
