Faces Meetings

MPDL,Faces,FIZ

On this page, all information about the meetings with the institute will be collected.

Next Meeting

 * As we try to generalize the FACES solution, would it be possible to use for the About and Registration page a CoLab page (so the content is easier to change and also not part of the software solution but only linked to it)?

30.03.09
1. Presentation R3
 * The institue was very excited about the current state of the solution. From their point of view it has all in to go productive.

2. Going productive, what does this mean? Our ideas.
 * No special requirements from the institute

3. Planning
 * Virtual Release: Probably before 3.5, necessary for re-usablilty of FACES
 * Agreed with the institute that this technical release is necessary


 * Scope 3.5: (crosscheck requirements)
 * Requirements are fine.


 * Scope 4.0: What will happen after release 3.5
 * Check updated scope. (R4 will not happen before beginning of next year as the institute can not prepare earlier; actually the scope can not be defined)


 * Update: local user management.
 * No local user management from our side, we can only support the workflow by providing an online application

4. Further Features
 * Possible implementation of different list views (see Faces_Browse_and_Display) --> Is this of interest? Is there a use case where the picture is not of interest for a user?
 * Business Card View (smaller picture with MD next to it)
 * MD View (Only list of MD)
 * Both would be very useful according to the institute. Both will be implemented in R3.5.


 * Online application for an account (see Faces_User_Management)
 * Can be provided, but eSciDoc can not store user data for privacy/security reasons
 * Proposal: user can fill out online application and the faces system emails this data in a specified format (e.g. XML, HTML, CSV) to the institute (who can integrate it in the local system).
 * Institute would like to have that, but they are currently preparing how they internally store user accounts. Therefor we decided that Herr Knappeck will inform us about their data management strcuture and then we will decide how an online application can support their workflow.

5. Mailinglist presentation: faces-support@gwdg.de

6. Misc:
 * Additionally to the pictures, excel files of the metadata have to be made accessible. This data must not be connected to Faces. For that we show two possibilities:
 * Upload files to FACES Blog
 * Store files in PubMan
 * Institute will give further note how they want to handle the files.


 * Provide Blog account for the Institute --> Done
