== Agenda ==

Discussion of the analysis of the VLO proposed by ACDH (see [[working gdoc|https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rjNUqwr9KgUY4XLQiuvzpWIvb3zEIvza8PGvX93Bm8Y/edit#]]: design issues, facets, curation process (normalisation)

== Discussion

Presentation of the findings from working document 

Main findings (also see comments in the gdoc).

'''Design and Functionality''':
* Planned alignment of the overall style between main CLARIN.EU website, VLO and [[FCS-Aggregator|http://weblicht.sfs.uni-tuebingen.de/Aggregator/]]
  towards an up to date design (minimal, more contrast) along the lines of the current FCS-Aggregator development
* multi-linguality would be nice, but requires lot of effort -> low priority
* ''Availability'' information should be more present  

'''Facets''': 
* there are competing requirements:  more facets / less facets
  - how to deal with "problematic" facets (keyword, subject, genre, ...) - incoherent set of too many different values; however the lists tend to become consistent, when "zooming in" to individual collections
  [[BR]]-> consider them as "conditional" facets
* in general move away from the idea of one static set of facets, towards a more dynamic setup with possibly many indices in the system (solr), deciding only later (even leave it partly up to the user) which facets should be displayed, obviously with a small  With 
   try to identify

* when defining recommendations for CMD, don't overspecialize on VLO, consider also other use cases, especially citability (which requires '''Author/Contributor''')
* objections to the propositions to broaden the definitions of facets (Time coverage, Country, Language)
   ''"Would be the situation where we actually come from"''
* Introduce '''time coverage''' (see [[https://trac.clarin.eu/wiki/VLO-Taskforce/RecommendationsForFacets#TemporalCoverage|Definition of TimeCoverage from VLO-Taskforce]] )
   - requires analysis of the existing data
   - selection of appropriate format (see [[http://www.loc.gov/standards/datetime/|ETDF]], [[http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/metadata/dcmi/date-dccd-odrf|ODRF]] )
   - discuss definition of "coverage" [[BR]][[https://trac.clarin.eu/wiki/VLO-Taskforce/RecommendationsForFacets#TemporalCoverage|VLO taskforce]] proposes: ''"... time when original texts were written or speech recordings made"''; [[BR]] DCMI defines '''[[http://dublincore.org/documents/2012/06/14/dcmi-terms/?v=terms#terms-coverage|coverage]]''' as 
     ''"The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant."''[[BR]]
    i.e. do we express '''creation time''' or the '''"about time"''' of the resources 
   - How to deal with ''born digital'' material wrt creation time?
* '''Resource Type'''
  - need to finalize the proposed controlled vocabularies ( [[https://trac.clarin.eu/wiki/VLO-Taskforce/RecommendationsForFacets#ResourceType|VLO-taskforce ResourceType]] )
  - normalisation on-going
  - is related to but not to be merged/mixed with the `ResourceRef` media type (currently rendered as: `text, application, audio, other` ?? )
  - make the facet more prominent:
    - could be even rendered on the start page as main entry point
    - represent as (consistent) icon-set
    - consider adapt display (visible facet) by resource type
* '''!Availability/License'''
  - check back with legal committee
  - consider edm:rights (see [[http://pro.europeana.eu/page/europeana-licensing-framework|Europeana Licensing Framework]], [[http://pro.europeana.eu/page/available-rights-statements|Available Rights Statements]]) 
  - ensure alignment with the CLARIN distinction: PUB/ACA/RES
 

* ACDH has set up [[https://minerva.arz.oeaw.ac.at/vlo/|own instance of VLO]] for developing / experimenting with new features
