New methods (important)

 * Filter enhancements (UC: depositor workspace, moderator workspace)
 * see Enable searching of organizational units/ or retrieve List of organizational unit objects for selected starting organizational-unit
 * Outcome: is accepted to be implemented. TODO: FIZ will make a proposal when it will be scheduled.


 * Organizational unit handler enhancements (UC: Feeding local web pages)
 * see Filter methods documentation and extension for sorting options


 * Outcome
 * Sorting / paging possibility is available
 * There is new implementation for filter methods and they provide AA (currently in 268). In build 269 new methods including AA will be provided.


 * see Filters and filter methods for Items/Containers
 * Outcome
 * Filtering/Sorting for external titles will be provided with build 269
 * FIZ will check about possibility to deal with multiple filtering options per filter name

Critical bug resolution

 * Container versioning
 * see Add member to container corrupts container object after approx. 50 new members
 * Outcome:
 * Possible workaround is ongoing and will be checked with Fedora (memory increase)


 * Anonymous retrieval of statistic reports
 * ReportHandler.retrieveReport throws Authentication Exception when not logged in
 * Additionally a list with all roles and scope of the roles (context, statistic scope etc.) would be great


 * Outcome
 * Will be checked for solution details by FIZ. Possibility will be provided.

Metadata in Component
why do we duplicate them?
 * all metadata are also available as properties


 * Outcome:
 * dc:extent is substitution for dc:format
 * possible to calculate the file size before delivery of binary content
 * At the moment we stick with the current solution
 * MPDL will check if needed in future

Migration of objects

 * migration of all items (blocker for adopting the new FW)
 * xsd transformations to DC (simple only or qualified is now also allowed?)


 * Outcome:
 * Organizational units: MPDL will provide new MD schema for organizational units and XSLT from properties to metadata record
 * Schema and XSLT sent --Natasa 18:42, 4 June 2008 (CEST)

Other

 * FIZ will check:
 * Filters: dc elements - FIZ will check if filtering is still possible for DC elements


 * Filters: provide technical description of their current implementation cons/pros by FIZ
 * Build 269 expected today (in best case)
