== MAB to MODS mapping ==
The MPIER provided us with [https://zim01.gwdg.de/repos/smc/trunk/03_Functional_Description/02_Scenarios_Concepts/Concepts/Virtueller%20Raum%20Reichsrecht/Beispieldateien/bsp_mab2_format 5 MAB records] for the two books (two parent records plus three child records). These 5 records will be mapped to MODS by using the rules defined in the [http://dfg-viewer.de/fileadmin/groups/dfgviewer/MODS_Application_Profile_2008-01-09b.pdf ZVDD MODS profile].
'''Results & Discussion:'''
# Handling of subject strings ("Schlagwortketten")
#* In MAB subject stings are represented in the element 710 as strings. Further on, each subject is saved in one separate element 902.
#* In MODS we transfered the subject string in one element to keep the order. But it would be also possible to put the subjects in separate elements.
# Hierarchical record structure
#* One record for each parent and each child record exists. The child record has an element <code><relatedItem type="host"></code> pointing to the parent record.
#* Alternative implementation: provide information for parent directly in <code><relatedItem type="host"></code> without creating an individual record for the parent.
# When using the DFG Viewer, identifiers in form of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Resource_Name URNs] are required. The Deutsche Nationalbibliothek provides a service to assign [http://www.persistent-identifier.de/?link=860&lang=en URN (NBN)].
= Discussion on data formats for Metadata =
== METS ==
* METS enables the mark up of front, cover, etc.
* METS is an international standard. It displays the hierarchical structure, the name and the location of the data storage and the metadata of objects. --> METS can be used for descriptive metadata as well as container format.
* Im Interesse weiterer Projekte (fuer die ggf. eine Foerderung der DFG beantragt werden koennte) ist METS nahezu zwingend. Alternativ zu diesem seitenorientierten Format kaeme TEI als dokumentorientiertes Format in Frage. Das MPI praeferiert eindeutig METS, da es den gegenwaertigen Anforderungen genuegt und einen geringeren Aufwand nach sich zieht. s. auch DFG-Praxisregeln, S. 17. 18.10.2007, S. Amedick
'''--> A METS import and export is needed.'''
== eSciDoc native format ==
* It will be checked together with FIZ, if the METS data will be stored in METS or transfered and stored in eSciDoc native format.
== Discussion ==
In general, an external format (like METS/eSciDoc) can be used in three different ways:
# importing digital objects in eSciDoc's native format
# importing 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
# supporting 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 to METS -> export is probably not very problematic
'''Questions:'''
# 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.
