Agenda

• Quick Introductions of Members
• Introduction to this Group
• Recon WG Work Areas
  • Review, Add, & Discuss
    • List of existing reconciliation tools & a comparison of them
      • @ajs6f: Perhaps we could move this later in the agenda? I don't see how we can make a useful list without having identified common use cases.
        • @cmh2166: Not the point of this in the agenda, i.e., we're not doing that work, but outlining possible work areas for the group.
      • Pilsks: Does anyone know anything about this list? http://rd-alliance.github.io/metadata-directory/tools/ or this list: https://github.com/rd-alliance/metadata-catalog-dev/tree/master/db/tools
        • @cmh2166: Nope, but could be interesting places to start/pull into our work (if we go this route)
    • Identify common reconciliation use cases
    • Develop flexible (modular perhaps?) abstract workflow models for use cases
    • Create functional requirements for shared workflow components
    • Set of leveled (i.e. simplest to complex) reconciliation and matching algorithms for common reconciliation cases & data types (i.e. going from label look-ups based off various string matching algorithms to contextual data matching based off of string and other data type matching algorithms for multiple fields attached to a resource)
    • Work on light-weight tools for certain needs listed above to make proof of concepts or support intermediate work & review
    • (Meta) Model for LD4 / Other blackbox LODLAM efforts in community engagement & work
  • Select / Prioritize
  • Start of Work Planning
• Recon WG Logistics
  • Calls
  • Communication (outside of calls)
  • Working Space
• Questions, Comments, Issues
