[edit] DP Road Blocks
Fuller list of issues towards becoming a DP that folks mentioned during the BoaF session:
- communicating with oai-implementers
- priorities; becoming a DP falls to the bottom of the list
- squashing metadata into simple DC
- finding money to pay a programmer
- illegal character clean-up
- not familiar with even simple DC
- waiting for a toolkit appropriate to their environment
- validation on OAI registration site didn't work
- have metadata in many ad hoc formats
- registering handles and persistent URLs
- fixing content problems in metadata that content owner not willing to fix
- granularity of the object being pointed to; how described in metadata
- ignorance of OAI itself
