Topic 1

• No public registry for BagIt profiles
  • Use GitHub for the moment, reach out for sustainable solution
• No registry for platform identifiers
  • Re3Data may come up with something in future, but currently only recommendations document might be a place to put this information
  • Keep sustainability in mind
• Review DataCrate as related work

Topic 2

• Spec available at https://github.com/UTS-eResearch/datacrate/blob/develop/spec/0.1/data_cr…
• Similar goals
  • Primary information stored as LD
  • Human and machine readable (RDFa, JSON LD)
  • Following schema.org vocabulary
• Allows to describe payload
• Smaller set of mandatory elements (creation date, contact and description) than DataCite
• Might have datacite MD if sufficient information available
• Current version 0.1 -> probability of changes high
• Providing content could be complex, for legacy platforms hard to obtain linked resources
• Mapping to schema.org vocabulary needed
• Possible integration: Stay with datacite as base requirement, create DataCrate metadata files CATALOG.HTML/JSON with datacite content
• TODO: Talk to Peter (Thomas)
  • Possibility to place metadata files not only in root of bag (e.g. datacite.xml)
  • How to fulfill DataCrate BagIt profile?
• TODO: Similar effort from DataConservancy, establish contact (David)
• How to deal with complex RDF graphs? Split into different ttl files and put into META-INF?
  • Further discussion needed
• TODO: Setup GitHub project (Thomas)
