General impression
The workshop was very helpful to get an overview over the concepts release by DCMI and to clarify obscurities regarding term definitions and scopes. There were many discussions about open questions, standards and best practices which brought a lot of input for all and positive feedback for the speakers. The participants have been introduced into how to create application profiles according to the DCMI recommendation (DC Application Profile) step by step with small exercises that have been resolved in 4-people groups (divided according to their coverage) and discussed together afterwards to discover typical errors. There was also positive feedback of some participants about MPDL work and SB Berlin noted interest in using PubMan to get data from MPG institutes.
