Actions
  • Menzo will resend all URLs showing where to find documents, info of how to get on the forum, etc.
  • Peter will update list of TDG members
  • The next two weeks should be used by extensive “playing and testing” of the tools and the process. Problems of all sort should be communicated directly with Menzo
  • Menzo will be available to answer emails and is ready to do skype sessions on all technicalities to get a quick start
    • there is a Doodle which can be used to plan a web meeting if you need assistance or want to discuss an issue in person
  • Everyone is encouraged to test out things on the test server and nothing can go wrong
  • Sue Ellen and Menzo are available for hands-on meetings with small groups of you to get a quick start. A Doodle will be distributed where everyone should insert available times during the coming days. Menzo and Sue Elllen will make suggestions
  • Sue Ellen has created a small (six DCs) subset of the submission set for an initial discussion. You can see this subset in the Athens Core slot rather than in the Submission folder because Sue Ellen can't post a new subset to that folder. She will circulate an email with a pptx showing some pointers about the subset and an html, which is a printout of the standardizable content of this small subset. She has also created a topic in the Submission Forum with comments and questions about each of the DCs in the subset. The pptx file repeats info on how to find the forum. Everyone is encouraged to comment on the indivdual items or on the group as a whole. Let Menzo and Sue Ellen know if you have problems with the forum
  • Let's stay on the Lux13 test server for this discussion and work out kinks. Then when we jump to ISOcat, Sue Ellen will enter the agreed changes in the real server and the prepare the next Discussion subset
  • Peter will contact those who could not participate
  • We should plan a next joint meeting to synch about the experiences
  • Menzo will send a doc about the relation registry activities
