This page is the result of the eSciDoc workshop held in September 2007. It should serve for collecting ideas, questions and constraints, discovered while evaluating the filtering of items according to a "mini item" information object. Please feel free to use the page

Basic Idea[edit]

Base filter methods on a "mini item" = a specific data stream with minimal metadata. The metadata would be created "content type" specific with creation/update of an item. Sketch razum1.jpg

Prototype[edit]

Boundaries for prototype by FIZ:

  • with AA
  • without paging
  • list format RSS in RDF

Requirements (delivered by MPDL):

  • item list should be sortable by:
  • item list currently include following metadata:
    • list hier
  • transformation rules are available:

Questions & Discussion[edit]

  • How to version the changes required if a change in the transformation requires a change of all item of a specific content type
Proposed solution can be treated as a "temporary workaround" and a test for having all metadata further placed into proper storage. At present, the "list metadata" are part of the Fedora system datastream (DC metadata) that is "pushed" into the relational database. Note: only non-qualified DC metadata is allowed. --Natasa 12:32, 26 September 2007 (CEST)
To Do: think of "moving" the "list metadata " (or all descriptive metadata) into a RDF storage (this will take substantial rework, but will give also substantial benefits for interoperability, discovery - and of course - performance etc.) --Natasa 12:32, 26 September 2007 (CEST)
  • To check: Are standarc DC data sufficient to create the information required to display item lists, i.e. are all required data for sorting and displaying available in DC core?
    • If not: To change the functional specification or to "disemploy" the standard?
  • Should a change of the "mini item" data stream
    1. create a new logical version?
    2. create no new logical version?
To consider for start: In case when metadata presented in the "list-metadata" are not sufficient and a new transformation is needed - this is not (from aspect of content versioning) changing the version of the content item - it just provides a new "enriched view" on the content item. In this case if very necessary: utility should be developed that is modifying the content items (but not creating new versions of them) as it is a redundant information derived from the actual metadata of the item. --Natasa 12:32, 26 September 2007 (CEST)
