We had the monthly project meeting today where we discussed a couple of DataHub things:

• They commented if it would be possible to automatically add a:
  <dcterms:isPartOf>EUreka3D</dcterms:isPartOf>
  for every object that is published through our platform (one that users cannot delete in the XML view, of course). The user should be able to optionally add other "isPartOf" as it currently works.

• For the Materials field, during the meeting Europena compiled a list of references from a vocabulary, to substitute the current Literals. I have just updated that on the Excel file [1] (cell J21), and set the field as "Reference" only. Europeana said that "To make this field complete it would be best practice to extract all of the materials nested under the Material hierarchy in Getty AAT. I understand this list may then be too long for datahub though". For the time being, I think we can survive just with the specific URL, what do you think?

• isPartOf: Either option is fine. Even in the backend is OK. Users do not really need to know that this is part of the metadata, and must assume that publishing under EUreka3D will inform Europana that the object is part of the project. It is like an attribute that even Europeana could add to know the source of the metadata.

• Materials: I agree, I would start with the current list because it is big enough and will cover most of the cases. As for the "Other", no action needed. I am not a fan of "Other", since it means "unknown" or "unspecified". It does not even represent the opposite set because materials can be added in future and "other" may have referred to one of these new materials, so it does not even guarantee to represent the complementary set. If "other" is desired I am more in favour of making the field optional, and "other" is the absence of a value.

Pytanie, czy planujemy robić dropdown dla Material z custom value?
