Topics[edit]
PIDs and PID Manager[edit]
- configurable choice of PID System (instance) on a context level
- we do host several external institutions on single core service instance, also several solutions on single core service instance
- institutions may have different decisions on which PID system to use
- multiple PIDs allowed for object or version
- during ingestion, more or less at present PIDs are ingested as part of the metadata record
- this prevents some linking and searching, as different metadata schema have different metadata element names where they keep the identifier (and sometimes it is not clear if it is indeed a PID or is a local identifier)
- allowing for multiple PIDs where core services would be able to handle them indeed like PIDs (e.g. cross-check uniqueness in the repository)
- allowing to assign any of these multiple PIDs without creating a new item version
- allowing to assign any of these PIDs to any item version (not only to the latest version)
- maybe special object relation types could be solution to the last problem? in this case delivery with the item.xml would not be an issue
Outcome[edit]
- discuss it and create Colab page
Content model definition[edit]
- shall we try to identify issues which are not clear if they indeed depend on the cModel?
- should CModel contain structural and content specific behavior only or in addition it should contain settings for repository behavior and repository operations?
Outcome[edit]
- should be defined and discussed
- current CModel implementation is very simple
Read-only core services[edit]
- based on requirement for read-only PubMan
- interceptor for preventing modifications based on property value
- only system administrator would be allowed to make modifications in this case
- motivation: when some system actions are undertaken in which user are able to view, search and retrieve, but not able to make any modifications of data
PubMan Customizing[edit]
- CSS-Classes, Style files, etc.
Outcome[edit]
- input from Frank
- created new skin
- it is not so easy, the CSS classes could be better named or designed, so that people which are not in, could easily understand at what point to do what
- first impression:
- not everything is in the stylesheet
- there are stylesheets in schema section and global stylesheets
- users should really know how to do it
- not everything is in the stylesheet
- Documentation:
- what to change
- when to change
- to find out how to e.g. give a line a new color
- what is possible to change, what users would like to change
- somehow try to mention the hierarchy of the classes in the class name
- externalize

- Get rid of content-model-specific properties
Specifics[edit]
- Search and administrative search

- Improved and harmonized communication of eSciDoc
- eSciDoc Blog
- service names and classification
- service-architecture board
