More topics (from NIMS)
Topics marked (*) are firmly scheduled for NIMS. Other topics are side activities.


 * Japanese resource bundles(*): approximately 62% completed, as of 2008-01-13.
 * I think it is better to use native expression on each language for the language selection. i.e. [ English, Deutsch, 日本語 ] instead of [ 英語, ドイツ語, 日本語 ] (which are in Japanese expression, respectively). How about this idea?
 * Word-order issues discussed in the previous meeting were able to avoid in R4 GUI (by a translation workaround).
 * (hopefully) will finish the translation by next week (2009-01-24).


 * Researcher portofolio & author identifier(*):
 * Regarding the balance of their research fields and positions, we would like to demonstrate with 6 possible user accounts.


 * FACES: NIMS plans to add materials of the Material Science field. (Diamond pictures by Dr.Kanda)
 * Is is possible to apply FACES for such other fields data? if so, what kinds of metadata we need to provide? what's needed for the first?


 * Multilingual OrgUnit:
 * "Organization search" can be used as a primary browsing mechanism for a visitor. But it stores English names only. Is it possible to add Japanese names for each OrgUnit of NIMS?


 * Copyright notice for MD:
 * Some of journal policies in Japanese societies need to write Copyright notice for a item. E.g. Information Processing Society of Japan. Current pubman doesn't have such field.
