CURATEcamp 2010: Agenda

This page is meant for developing the CURATEcamp 2010 agenda. If there's a topic you're interested in discussing, add it to this list if it's not already there. Make sure to include your name next to it. Check the list first to see if someone's already added the topic.
  • High-level discussion of micro-services, Andrea Goethals & Spencer McEwen
    • How small do micro-services need to be?
    • What is the relationship of the repository data model / content models to the micro-services?
    • What is the overall framework that ties the micro-services together - in other words what else would be needed to deploy them as a working repository?
    • What's in and out of scope for micro services? Katherine Kott (Stanford)
    • How scalable are micro-services based curation solutions? Katherine Kott (Stanford)
  • On use cases in a curation microservices context, Patricia Hswe & Michelle Belden
    • Brief session/discussion on challenges encountered in collecting use cases/user scenarios.
    • What has been the experience of other curators in gathering and documenting use cases?
    • Would it make sense to start a registry of use cases and conditions?
    • Note: possible to tie-in with a demonstration of microservices usage from/at another institution?
  • Approaches to versioning content. Ed Summers (LC)
  • EZID: easy long-term identifiers. John Kunze (CDL)
  • re-envisioning METS, Brian Tingle
  • The case for using standardized markup structures with pre-existing parsers and serializors such as XML or JSON in micro-services, Brian Tingle
  • Microservices for Curating Research Data (including Ingest), Daniel Tsang

      • Mobile Access to Digital Objects & the Development Process, Cristela Garcia-Spitz, Carmen Mitchell, & Dan Suchy
      • Curation Services in the Cloud (Above and Below Campus Cloud Architecture) - Robert McDonald & Declan Fleming
      • Scoping and technology choices for micro-service access control (IdM, Authn, Profiling, Authz), Stephen Abrams (CDL)
      • Web archiving & microservices. Erik Hetzner (CDL)
      • The SEER Manifesto - Semantically Enabled Exa-scale Repositories. Simon Spero (SILS, UNC Chapel Hill).
        • Bare repositories of data aren't enough to allow for proper understanding and reuse of research data, information, and knowledge.
        • Semantic information needs to be captured and tracked throughout the lifecycle of the data set.
        • Once lost, semantics provenance, and general metadata is very expensive or impossible to re-create.
        • Researchers, Scholars and Scientists will not go out of their way to add semantics and metadata unless it fits in with their existing social practices, or unless they see benefit to do so.
        • Existing infrastructures should be adapted to support the curation lifecycle, as transparently as possible, with incremental benefits for any extra effort.
        • Researchers working with large data sets will not use a system that slows down the processing of their data.
        • Policy languages must be creatable and understandable by the policy makers and users; they cannot require learning new programming languages or ways of thinking.
        • Policies should specify goals, not mechanisms. Strategies for achieving these goals should be derived automatically from the semantic characteristics of available actions (μ-Services). When policies or situations invalidate these strategies and plans, new plans should be generated automatically. Proven technologies to handle this kind of planning problem already exist.
        • Repositories are for Use..
        • Save the time of the SME.
      • Open-source microservices software governance, Mike Giarlo (& someone from CDL)
      • Database-phobic processing queues for archival objects, Martin Haye (CDL)
      • Microservices and policies around outer-layer repository 'workspace' services, Birkin Diana (Brown University)
      • Next steps for Curate camp, Stephen Abrams (CDL) & Mike Giarlo
        • Possible follow-on events at iPRES, DLF, IDCC? (Would we want some sort of pre-conference at code4lib (in bloomington, in this year 2011-RHM)
