-== Discussion on data formats ==
-meeting on 12th of October
-In general, an external format (like METS/eBinds/eSciDoc) can be used in three different ways:
-# import digital objects in eSciDoc's native format
-# import from METS format - might be very problematic from Natasa's point of view, e.g. because METS is very broad and only a specific import for ViRR METS can be done
-# support METS as native format in eSciDoc -> this would require a lot of redesign in the basic services. According to Malte there are related requirements coming from the GBV
-# exporting -> export to METS is probably not very problematic
-Questions:
-# from where does the concrete METS requirement come from? Does the MPIeR has concrete needs or is it more a "best practice" & assumption?
-# is the eSciDoc native format rich/flexible enough to represent the [structure of the] digital objects as required by MPIeR?
-# If yes, does this mean we need to provide an offline-editor for the eSciDoc native format ourselves?
-Result: This question is the mayor decision in the project and will influence the required/chosen implementation essentially. The decision needs to be taken until January 2008! We decided to prepare an detailed evaluation together with FIZ
