Agenda

  • Polish the San Diego Agenda

 

San Diego Agenda

 

The group went through the San Diego agenda web portion for the face-to-face meeting in San Diego at the end of November.  The following changes/discussion were added to the agenda:

 

Informal Meeting, Wednesday AM:

  • Version 2.0 for Hub—Group will brainstorm new ideas and features for the Hub.  The group will present this to the Formal Web Meeting on Wednesday afternoon
  • Visioning for National Programs Database—Group will brainstorm ideas for what the national programs database will look like

 

Formal Web Meeting, Wednesday PM:

  • Content Sharing—Gary M. and Fernando will walk the group through the revised timeline for the content sharing project and outline the responsibilities of each of the Centers
  • Topic Hub Updating/Maintenance

Ø     Link Checker: The group discussed the need to come to a formal agreement on how often each Center will check the links on each hub.    Rick presented Paul Chalmer’s “Bad Links” Database and the collection method that he is using to document bad links.  Rick encouraged the Centers to participate in this.  On 11/6, Rick sent out the spreadsheet that outlines how to document bad links.

q       Action Item:  Jini will poll the group to find out who is checking links at this time and how often each Center is checking them.

Ø     Quality Control: The group determined that it was necessary to revisit QA/QC.   The group’s goal is to walk away from San Diego with an agreed upon document that outlines QA/QC for the Topic Hub.   Crispin stated that she and Andy had worked on a QA/QC document for the Topic Hub earlier in the year.  On 11/6, Crispin sent out this document and asks that folks add to the list.

Ø     Storing local copies of files: The group discussed the issue of storing local copies of documents vs storing them in a central repository.  P2Rx has three alternatives for storing copies;  locally on their own server, nationally in one place or not store them at all.  Currently, NEWMOA, P2RIC and WRRC store local copies.  The goal for San Diego is to determine if and where we will store cached files for the Topic Hub.

Ø     Present ideas for Version 2.0: The group agreed that the goal for San Diego is to walk out with a blueprint of what Version 2.0 of the Topic Hub will look like.

Ø       Visioning the National Programs Database: 

Potential new activity measures to present to the Admin group

 

Beth wants to see the use of the topic hubs charted using Web Trends

to see how many hits the topic hubs are getting. As of yet no one is

measuring this.

 

NPPR meeting in Charleston

 

Laura is going to modify her Programs Database White Paper with the

comments from Beth, Crispin and possibly Jean Waters. She will forward the

revised version to Rick and Andy to share with the NPPR board.
