Breakout groups and volunteers to take notes

[Robert Huber]

Those who are intersted in assigning a GUID to descriptive etc data
might take a look at http://www.std-doi.de. This is a german based
project which uses DOIs to identify datasets. Participating data
centers hold data of almost any thinkable kind: meteorolgy, satellite
images, geology, paleontology, oceanography etc.. Many questions
are answered there and the process of assigning GUIDs to real digital
objects is not that complicated (Ok, I know the details..).

Maybe during the first meeting the group  should focus on the topics
Ricardo proposed as they are the 'core problems' and possibly on the
technology decision? Workshop 2 could possibly be more open?

best regards,
Robert
