    ASL framework
    
    What are the exact functionalities? Concrete example? Documentation. What does it return? Can it deliver XML? Can it be accessed through a Http Rest call?
    
    Speaker: Panagiota Koltsida (NKUA)
  - 29
    
    Annotation Management
    
    Anything more than diligent delivered? Public/private? Searchable? object to object ontologies for annotation?
    
    Speaker: Panagiota Koltsida (NKUA)
  - 30
    
    Data Source Management
    
    metadata issues, do collections have a metadata record? how will it stay dynamic? what is the long-term maintenance strategy, post-project? Plans to simplify archive import? Is it too complicated? What about a service to simplify common import actions, like atom feed, or here's a directory, import it! Or define a REST service for on-demand access of data. So it's not imported, it's connected. You would just build an index. Wizards are definitely lacking. not clear how to relate objects to each other and across collections during and after importing.

  - 32
    
    Reporting
    
    Template definition - is report template creation part of the production infrastructure. - is it all WYSIWYG? - can you save it into a VRE? - should only be available as admin function? Report generation - what functionality is being offered compared to what was planned? - rich text support? - report output formats? - use of friendly URL's?
    
    Speaker: Massimiliano Assante (CNR-ISTI)
  - 33
    
    Admin Functionality
    
    Create a VRE - associate collections - import collections - define search functions and indexes - definition and approval: role and responsibilities Managing Users: - add user to a VO - add user to a VRE Monitoring a VO/VRE - monitoring interfaces
