  1. Workshop Summary • I think it was an excellent and inspiring meeting (do I have to say that?) • I hoped to have a kind of kick-off effect like at the LREC meeting 2000 in • Athens where the first phase (metadata, annotation structures) started • We are at the step to a new phase: • federation of our collections • and it seems that we all want that. • didn’t we know this already: • we are not the only folks who are moving towards federated collections • so let’s continue to look to what others are doing (SRB, DCC, …) • there are solutions around – so let’s carefully look at them • at the workshop: different approaches – from WS to SRB • (according to Egon everything is ready – should make a deal with him) • mutual fertilization with IASA/DL is excellent – in the long run the division of • labor is not yet clear; are kind of in between “archives and DL”

  2. Discovered some things to do: • common ground for ethics – need a document / need a small group/ GARY • common legal ground – need a memorandum / need a small group/ HEIDI • common access mechanism – need a doc / need a small group/ PETER • (one user domain – single sign on - policy) • need a doc with improved user scenarios / abstract model –architecture /ELAR • DELAMAN constitution etc / LINDA • END OF MARCH • need to know about extra work when merging – admin/org load • need to practice – see DAM-LR as a test bed • need an interaction beyond DAM-LR – look for funds to get together • need to form working groups about certain aspects • PKI – infrastructure - certification – trusted hosts • authentication/authorization – what are our requirements • “federation approach” • how to do it – different approaches • start with web-services from scratch • work with components • get SRB running and adapt • DELAMAN Search & Browse -> Functionality

  3. Workshop Summary • how to do it: • have to speak with our institutions • have to look at manuals • have to speak with users • have to speak with developers • different degree of complexity • AAI (AS, Shibboleth, …) – Handle • GRID Components – SRB • need funds (travel, training, …) • things have to settle – let’s not forget the price card

  4. Workshop Summary let’s go We have a first task to do Thanks to all
