Topic 1
- DataCrate has similar goals
- Spec available at GitHub
- Focus on machine AND human readability
- Uses schema.org and RDF-based content description in CATALOG.html|json files
- Pro
- Allows more detailed description of bag content
- Provides human readability
- Suggests to provide also DataCite metadata if CATALOG files contain enough information
- Con
- Early version, expected to evolve frequently but our WG will end soon
- Defines its own BagIt profile, which is mandatory to support in compatible bags (conflicts with our plan to support custom BagIt profiles)
- Metadata mapping from platform models to schema.org needed
- Platform support not available, effort for creating CATALOG files might be higher than providing DataCite metadata
- Todo: Contact Peter Sefton about potential collaboration (Thomas)
- Todo: Contact DataConservancy people to check for potential collaboration (David)
- Todo: Create GitHub page (Thomas)
Topic 2
- Mailed to Peter
- Positive response
- Latest talk about DataCrate can be found here
- General agreement that aligning our work makes sense
- Peter would accept placing CATALOG.* e.g. in ‘metadata’ folder
- Opened ticket at GitHub regarding support of multiple profiles by BagIt profiles
- Solution for complexity/metadata mapping issue might be to recommend DataCite metadata and provide tools/instructions on how to create CATALOG files from it (should be possible automatically)
- Solution for profile issue could be just to use the DataCrate profile if one wants a bag fully compatible with DataCrate and include datacite.xml as recommended by our WG
- David contacted Aaron Birkland with regard to DataConservancy. No response, yet
- GitHub Organization RDAResearchDataRepositoryInteropWG created
- Internal structure/projects needed
- Start with:
- Sample (contains example bag from recommendations)
- Profiles (contains profiles, organization has to be defined)
- Other projects, e.g. initial adoptions?
- Next steps
- Reduce meeting frequency after next call, start adoption as planned for P11
- Communication directly or via mailing list
Topic 3
- Next meeting at 29 November, 2 pm UTC
