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

 * Did a few testings with the coreservice version 1.1 final; looks better than before ;)
 * current status commandline tool: works fine now; content model creation has to be done as soon as interface from FIZ is available
 * current status graphical tool: in preparation; about 50% done
 * presented commandline tool at the eSciDoc Days 2009: some feedback, why such an old jboss and will there be a live cd soon?

Outcome

 * the commandline tool should be used for more advanced users
 * the graphical tool should provide a more out-of-the-box version of pubman (jboss included, maybe downloadable and extractable from the tool on demand; checking of correct java version)

Changes in Publication Metadata Structure

 * event, source, organization, person are handled als "profiles" now (as it is already in colab) the same way like publication and the schema definitions are in separate files
 * enums have an own namespace (see below)
 * all elements under publication, event, source, person, organization, file (not elements from external schemas like dc, dcterms) are in the same NS
 * idtypes are now in escidoc terms NS, too
 * see Checklist_for_Metadata_Changes

Assigning PIDs

 * 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]
 * faces urls: faces.mpdl.mpg.de (check this with bastien)

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

Citation Manager Performance

 * 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)

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
