Hi I have added you as a watcher on this feature - relevant for the planned work on MARC Authority Data.

Purpose:
Store authorities and entities that are created/managed as external datasets. Examples include LCNAF, LCSH, Getty Vocabularies, RBMS Vocabularies, etc. While some of these data are created/managed as MARC data, others are serialized as RDF or other data models. As such, this must not exist solely within the MARC SRS. Very likely, this will demand having a local abstraction-layer to which we map various external datasets (not dissimilar to Inventory being a place to which FOLIO maps MARC, ERM and other data into its own model). Ideally, this would be within an "Entities" app.
Use cases:
As a metadata operations staff member, this cache allows for a pool of data against which I can control headings in records in the SRS, Inventory or elsewhere
As a discovery & access developer, this cache allows me to build knowledge panels into the discovery layer.
As an institution, define entity properties that are cached locally, which are displayed in the FOLIO entity record, and which are stored in the data to support local authorities processing and provide discovery reference data.
