Topics[edit]

exchange staff and know-how[edit]

Agreed: in general the process has to be open and not only via emails. Colab and/or mailing lists may be used for all participants.

AdminTool[edit]

outcome[edit]

  • see Admin Tool Ideas page

DbCache[edit]

  • brainstorm first steps
  • Authorization issues
  • Performance issues

Outcome[edit]

Define/distinguish between:

  • caching of data to produce long lists
  • searching/filtering with authorization
  • check technical requirements again
    • performance
    • number of items neccessary at once
      • streaming options for large lists

Wiki, Blog[edit]

Outcome[edit]

  • would be good by end of the year
  • hyperspace is interesting application, will be checked and structure can be agreed

Migration of Containers[edit]

outcome[edit]

  • Input: ESCIDOC_RELS_EXT is managed content
  • migration of current containers (MPDL): fine to migrate last version only
  • check with other users
  • New requirement: purging of versions (new requirement)
    • background: as there would be many files, for each new version of the container created in the filesystem
      • may not be storage space issue, but backup issue
      • proposal: to implement purging of versions (up to a selected version, based on user decision) (released versions can not be purged)

Content Model[edit]

  • migration for PubMan needed

Outcome[edit]

  • current solutions are not affected with the content model modifications
  • stylesheets for cmodels can be defined in cmodels (or referenced in cmodels)
  • MPDL has all different types of items/containers created with different content models (no migration problem)

Other 1.2 Changes[edit]

Outcome[edit]

  • Schema changes
  • new methods
  • filters (additional CQL-based interfaces)
  • changes to the DB cache require a new DB schema
