Previous meeting

 * MPDL_AB_Meeting_2009-05-27

Generic Metadata Handling

 * not yet clear how to approach strategically
 * what is the purpose of generic metadata handling?
 * any XML?
 * known metadata profiles?

PubMan installer

 * command line is finished
 * graphical needs couple of days
 * to check if other solutions can have own installer
 * ToDo: Tom to check with Willy, Bastien on other solutions

Changes in Publication Metadata Structure

 * transformation with namespaces tricky
 * to check with VidConf FIZ
 * check about additional replace string for xsi:type attributes and namespace declarations
 * todo: check search&export interface changes and document for MPI PL
 * input MPI PL: which queries are used
 * transformation to DC: FIZ to be asked to externalize, NBU: check with Vlad on implementation status - BLOCKER for putting proper XSLT on the right place in FIZ Code

Assigning PIDs

 * Decision: decouple from Metadata changes
 * create temporary data storage for each item and components released
 * assign handles
 * update foxmls
 * enable PID reference in view item (item and components)
 * pubman urls: pubman.mpdl.mpg.de/item/item:id[/component/component:id]
 * Changed: after component ID instead of "content" now is the filename provided
 * faces urls: faces.mpdl.mpg.de (check this with bastien)
 * still TODO
 * toDo: check VIRR (after VIRR is reworked)

Architecture revision

 * Outcome
 * JIRA project for gathering information from the team
 * AB will decide on necessary changes
 * Implementation of agreed changes start after R5
 * Migration issues
 * see above Metadata, PID assignments
 * Preparations_PubManR5

=Ongoing Topics=

Citation Manager Performance

 * see http://colab.mpdl.mpg.de/mediawiki/Talk:ESciDoc_Services_Search%26Export#Performance_problems
 * General community discussion on JasperReports performance
 * Alternative: XSLT transformation?
 * Upgrade to current JasperReports version?

Read only PubMan

 * http://zim01.gwdg.de:8080/browse/AS-735

Deployables and Jboss

 * Isolation of ears running on one jboss (possibility to run several solutions on one jboss)
 * Dependencies between deployed ears (pubman -> coreservice in deploy phase)
 * Expected outcome: Find a deployment structure (classpath isolation; bootup order) on jboss which covers actual and future needs

Outcome

 * redesign and cleaning up tasks shall be put into a new jira project (to be discussed dev-meeting)
 * next AB Team meeting to understand use-cases and alternatives
 * decision basis should be ready until September 2009

Solution development

 * discussion on pubman deployment and how to approach it
 * discussion on solution properties and how to approach it
 * discussion on service locator issue and how to approach it
 * discussion on development of own policy templates and checking the possibilities to define policies on our own
 * background: more roles coming up with further solution developments
 * see also Talk:ESciDoc_Solutions_summary
