Notes

• Are there any validation tools for OCFL?
  • Simeon has started one in Python
  • Andrew H has started one in Go
  • Both will continue developing since each might have different uses, and it is good to have more than one implementation
• Institutional Collaborations
  • Discussion on Institutions that might implement OCFL.
  • Neil to contact Data-Futures regarding engagement
    • Consortium of institutions
    • Interested in rescuing legacy sources
• Issues for Beta Release
  • PR#296 - State the hash to be used, and not include reasoning behind it. Reasoning could be given in the implementation notes, instead.
  • #292 - Only include hashes with "community support" in the table. Updates to the table will result in version bumps for the spec.
  • #270 - Consensus was for "the OCFL"
• NDSA Levels of Preservation
  • Does not mention openness or interoperability of preservation storage
  • A revision effort for the Levels of Preservation started last year.
  • Raise openness of preservation storage with current committee.
