 * Linked Data (LD)
 * many tools exist that could help us bring our data as linked data
 * contact from people from Semantic Web Company (see http://www.semantic-web.at/ ) who have a platform (see http://www.semantic-web.at/poolparty-semantic-information-management) and would like to talk with us about potential collaboration
 * trigger internal discussion about our potential LD scenarios with whomever in team is interested - please just talk to NBU and we can find some form of brainstorming with interested people


 * eSciDoc and Apache Hadoop (see http://hadoop.apache.org/)
 * FIZ mentions that they would like to allow for additional persistence layer with Hadoop
 * this could be a good moment to start discussing with them for two reasons:
 * see if the eSciDoc-Hadoop scenarios would be interesting for our development and scaling of our repositories;
 * jump timely on the technology train for Hadoop - it makes sense to learn it and understand if that would be the case
 * input after the DevMeeting: NBU contacted FIZ, they are working on the topic within the EU SCAPE project (http://www.scape-project.eu/) and will put us on the loop as soon as they have more info, conversation is thus open (MFR, WFR, MHA are also in the loop). At the moment they are thinking whether Hadoop shall be considered as additional storage under Fedora (less work) or shall be made as an alternative to Fedora (more work)
