Notes

VLO development

VLO 4.8 is nearly complete, last steps to final integration are the exposure stats front end and the localisation of the (most important) strings used throughout the application. Both are not crucial for deploying a first beta version. This beta will be released and deployed in week 51 (16 - 20 December)

We discussed some initial outlines for the VLO 4.9 milestone, but many of the items require a close look (see agenda). We will do this in the next ~month and have a meeting with the aim to make a concrete roadmap in the last week of January.

Curation module

The CMDI instance validator could potentially be integrated into the curaiton module, replacing the existing validation logic but this requires investigation and time on Can's part. The instance validator is currently lacking in terms of documentation. A brief meeting with Oliver might be helpful in getting a clearer picture. We will revisit when Can will have some more time to look at the curation module again.
