Notes

* "Roadmap Changes" email:
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/dataverse-community/3jbmJiD22Os/H7f0-dv5BgAJ* Community Topics
* (Courtney) Harvard and Odum are already on the "Data Repositories Conformant with the [Department of Transportation] Public Access Plan" list at
https://ntl.bts.gov/publicaccess/repositories.html and would like help knowing what was done to be conformant. (CM posted to user community list)
* (Sherry) I have contacts there and will try to help.
* (Sherry) A user at UVA is interested in cloud storage. "Oracle stuff." Interested in the Data Capture Module (
http://guides.dataverse.org/en/4.7.1/installation/data-capture-module.html ) .
* (Pete) DCM works with a POSIX filesystem, not object storage such as S3 or Swift.
* (Danny) Sherry, can you tell us about your recent launch?
* (Sherry) "Open Content" is now at
http://libra.virginia.edu along with Dataverse and a third offering.
* (Phil) Have Sherry or Courtney had a chance to try 4.7.1’s Dataverse customization features
* (Courtney) Haven’t tried yet. Will have updates in next community meeting.
* (Sherry) Haven’t tried it, yet.
* (Pete) Working on customization features now and getting feedback to dev team.
* (Julian) Any thoughts on integrations between the services at
http://libra.virginia.edu, i.e. being able to connect data in UVA’s Dataverse installation to other research outputs in UVA’s other services?
* (Sherry) Researchers can enter DOIs (other PIDs?) in metadata fields when depositing resources in the services, but there are no plans yet for automating links between resources in different services.
* (Sherry) Wondering about alternativeURL Metadata Field should be Clickable -
https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/issues/3337 * (Gustavo) Dev effort possibly still required.
* (Sherry) Elsevier has bought Bepress. Is there any discussion about Dataverse being acquired by Elsevier?
* (Danny) No plans to be acquired. :)
* (Phil) "EZID DOI Service is Evolving":
http://www.cdlib.org/cdlinfo/2017/08/04/ezid-doi-service-is-evolving/ . Harvard Dataverse is also affected. Plenty of time to move to DataCite.
* (Sherry) UVa’s EZID year subscription is up in January 2018 (or that’s when we 1st started paying).
