Fred gave an introduction to the DPIP final report. He commented that Meg would like to see the addition of an 'implementable plan'.
The group discussed two documents listing recommendations in four categories, Essential, Desirable, Optional, Out-of-Scope. These topics were drawn from the reports on the 7 top priority items, the site visits to Cornell and Harvard, and various discussions in DPIP meetings and with individuals.
Feedback on the current draft:
§ need to add high priority request for centralized storage and clarify how it differs from a potential preservation repository
§ need to add request for persistent naming server / solution
§ copyright issues need higher priority
§ development of digital production standards requires more emphasis - our own internal recommendations needed
§ clarify role of DPIP in selection of content to be digitized - role of DPIP for 'those who have nothing' not those who already have selection processes and production studios.
Meg would like the DPIP report to present an economic model and address all three elements of DPIP (assessment, digitization and consulting).
Also discussed:
§ ereserves and DPIP's role - perhaps as a generator of standards, for example: faculty requests, copyright guidelines
§ the issue of 'one portal' for faculty was discussed and the real need for 'many doors leading down the same path'
We discussed the organization of the report - could it be better organized (no real suggestions).
The organizational structure of DPIP needs to be clarified - is there a core/steering group - is that the current DPIP working group?
