September 28, 2023 Board Meeting

Attendees

Good attendance, both in person and online
Not a lot of new feedback specific to the presented version 2.0
Had both to cover the general structure, but also the changes between 1 and 2 which made it sometimes difficult to follow.
METS was mentioned in different other presentations during the conference, so it continues to be an important standard in the community
StructLink issue was brought up, but very specific and not directly version 2 related.
Greetings from Tom (Habing) :-)

We need a new primer specific for METS 2 that would be a rewrite of the current primer.
- Does the overall structure still make sense?
- Check through the board list who could work on this
Would have to include a section (or separate document) on the differences and how to get from one to the other. Also give some guidance on why you would choose which version.

Value in continuing to do profiles
- By removing the value lists in version 2 it is more important to document what actually is used
- Useful for interchange, but also documenting
Registration process often doesn't happen
- Lower the barrier, handle it similarly to the suggested value lists
- Review process is a barrier, lowering that might encourage people to communicate/share?
- Could have an easier submission procedure to add entries to a public list.
Testing against profiles?
- Might postpone to a later stage
Priorities:
- Adapt current schema to cover the changes of the METS 2 schema
- Have a way to produce a readable version of the schema
