VLO Taskforce Virtual meeting March 19, 2015

Overall Topic: Recommendations for the VLO-Facets

Participants: Thomas Eckart, Peter Fankhauser, Susanne Haaf, Axel Herold, Jörg Knappen, Jens Stegmann

• (1) Discussion about the VLO-Facets-Document
  • Descriptions for facets 1-8 did not need further discussion
  • Facet 9 License separate discussion (cf. below point 2)
  • Facet 10 Lifecycle Status: we recommended the vocabulary proposed within ​DC-3818
• (2) Discussion about Facet 9: License
  • "License" will become description facet
  • in case of more than one license per resource (e.g. a resource containing several parts which are published under different licenses) there may be multiple selections of licenses within one metadata record
  • "Availability" will be introduced as a search facet with a small controlled vocabulary (free, free for academic use, restricted, upon-request)
  • a mapping from license information to availability values will be necessary in order to properly fill the "Availability"-facet
    • Thomas will provide a list of current "License"-values and their frequencies within the VLO
    • Peter will ask Erik Ketzan and Paweł Kamocki (both IDS Mannheim) if they could create a mapping based on that list and on work they supposedly already did in that area
