Discussion on data formats[edit]
meeting on 12th of October
In general, an external format (like METS/eBinds) can be used in three different ways:
- for importing digital objects to eSciDoc's native format -> this might be very problematic from Natasa's point of view, e.g. because only a specific
- 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
- for exporting -> this is probably only a minor problem
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
