5. OCFL SQLite Tool (Seth Erickson)
   • https://github.com/srerickson/ocfl
   • its focused on reading and consuming OCFL objects;
   • he's aiming to create a way to provide access to an OCFL storage root; perhaps a web service that allows you to browse through the storage root.
   • indexing of the storage root. interested in hearing how others are tackling this issue of indexing. perhaps this is an extension?
   • this could help cut down on the costs for hitting the an S3 object store.
   • rocfl and ocfljava don't do any indexing, fedora has its own indexing of the storage root, but this is much more granular (getting at individual files)
   • storage root level extension, generic fast indexing that gets updated every time a new object gets crud-ed. the extension itself would describe the index schema for the sqlite file.
   • this could be a quick way to recover after a failure to see if things are there.
   • MORE TO COME! reach out to Seth if you have ideas. also especially if you have a big storage root so Seth can test the limits of the tool.
6. Next community meeting: Wednesday August 11th 8pm EDT / 5pm PDT | Thursday August 12th 10am AEST / 1am GMT (Convert to your time zone)
