Snippets

  • Kate will post the link to the current proposal
  • Discuss week after next

External Identifiers

  • PackageExternalIdentifierTypes
    • Using unique ID - how do we handle the case when promoted to a listed ID
    • If 2 people specify two different unique URI's, how do we reconciled
    • We could include a list of other ID's in the table
  • Table headers were updated with new terms (see https://docs.google.com/document/d/1j6LWnkh5GbMV9Xo5_zJ0wTNLROEIa4o1OU279YueI90)
  • Default Repository Location
    • Need to define the semantics that if no repository location is specified, the default is used
  • External Reference Identifier Example
    • Could be used as a pointer to define the schema
    • Could be from the repo where the actual metadata on the packages is stored
  • Proposal with the type being a URI is a concern
  • Concern on having any proposal with Other - may need more data
    • Agree that we will table the Other proposals and bring it back up after the rest of the External identifiers are nailed
