Community updates
- CNI in St. Louis

- Open Repositories 2019 in Hamburg
- Please attend the OCFL presentation
- LDCX
- Likely few from the OCFL calls will be attending
- Oxford has a draft API interface
- https://app.swaggerhub.com/apis/OCFL_client/ORA_OCFL
- Input welcome
- abirkland OCFL client will have an HTTP wrapper... is the above a good fit?
- Question around other forms the abirkland HTTP wrapper may take
- Interest in having a Fedora implementation with preservation persistence
- Interest in aligning the abirkland HTTP wrapper and ORA API
- Open questions around correlating ocfl:Object updates to versions of the object
- Assumption that "active objects" are manipulated in a staging directory before creating a version directory (e.g. v4)
- ACTION: add an issue for impl-notes that details the need for a "draft" or "tmp" directory for active ocfl:Objects
- Interest in an OCFL response format
- Communicating delta information across versions, etc
- Likely not in the spec, but a community agreement
