[Dplagroup] Minutes and discussion points for DPLA call

[Angela Oneal]

Attached are minutes from our last meeting, thanks to Janet. I also started a list of discussion points for our call Tuesday afternoon. Please send questions or comments if you can.

Also, here are some comments sent in by Judy Cobb of OCLC. Note that these are brainstorming notes, not a commitment from OCLC at this point:

Subject: DPLA planning grant


I think it is right-headed to have consultants come and in put together an overall structure for the Ohio hub....and perhaps a metadata profile for the state?



I think it would strengthen the Ohio hub application if, at the same time, we (you?) did some technical testing and/or planning....possibly as a second grant funded project? either simultaneous with or right after the planning grant.



OCLC has the infrastructure to harvest the metadata from OAI repositories via DCG now. And, if we know what your application profile is, we could tailor a mapping for you to get the records in WorldCat. That's minimal development effort for us.



We could then do some further development work (in kind or minimally funded) to post-process your metadata into the approved DPLA profile for final "delivery" to DPLA. We are doing post-processing of WorldCat records now to generate linked data, for example -- this isn't dis-similiar to that work



So you're records would all be in WorldCat and in DPLA!



That said, I think there are two ways to look at this from your point of view as you work to get grant money for planning. You could commit to working with OCLC and developing the technical solution with us from the outset as part of the technical planning bit of this first phase. We could create a prototype, work together, blah blah blah... Or you could look at a variety of technical partners and then decide which might work better for you. I see strengths and weaknesses in both ways.



Let me know your thoughts....we should chat about this.
