• Considerations:
  • Many reports have been ranked by institutions for "go live (MVP)".
  • Reporting SIG members have repeatedly communicated the need for access to all FOLIO data for reporting purposes.
  • LDP critical dependencies on FOLIO core development which have been requested and flagged as critical beginning in late 2018 will likely not be addressed until mid-2020 or beyond, based on discussions with the FOLIO capacity planning and project management groups.  (See slides)
  • FOLIO is requesting that "go live (MVP)" features be ready by January 2020, to be released in Summer 2020.
  • Future developer resources appear to continue to be roughly around 1 FTE on average, consisting of several part-time developers.
• LDP road map is based on these considerations, and aims to release features according to FOLIO's projected time lines for addressing critical dependencies as well as available developer resources.
• LDP 1.0, for "go live (MVP)":
  • LDP will support Support for ad hoc, cross-domain queries for all, or a very large proportion, of FOLIO data extracted from storage modules.  We would ask this working group to help us determine, in the near future, the definition of "all FOLIO data" required for inclusion in the LDP.
  • LDP data will include Include MARC records extracted from FOLIO SRS and transformed for easier querying.The LDP developers and this working group will aim to implement all reports requested for "go live (MVP)" if possible.
  • Historical data will be retained in the LDP but not transformed into a single schema.
  • LDP will be database recommended to be refreshed once per day from the FOLIO operational database.
  • LDP will optionally anonymize Support for optional anonymization of personal data.
  • LDP will include implementation Implementation guidelines (documentation) for local tables.
  • LDP runs on PostgreSQL or RedshiftSupport for PostgreSQL and Redshift database systems.
  • Refer to https://github.com/folio-org/ldp/blob/master/README.md for the proposed data model design for LDP 1.0.
• (1) Historical queries using a single schema, (2) ETL, and (3) full relational or star schema are tentatively planned for later releases of the LDP but are dependent on the identified critical dependencies and availability of developer resources.
• The test database is currently using the proposed data model design for LDP 1.0.  Additional tables will soon be added to support writing the prioritized report queries.

Demonstration of how to contribute a new SQL report query--or a modification of an existing query--using the shared community space in GitHub that has been set up for this purpose.

Refer to Contributing report queries to ldp-analytics for written instructions.

Shall we build these reporting data models next?

1. Circ Item Detail:https://wiki.folio.org/display/RPT/Circulation+Item+Detail+Report+Prototype
2. Services Usage:https://wiki.folio.org/display/RPT/Services+Usage+Report+Prototype
3. Shelf List Location: https://wiki.folio.org/display/RPT/Shelf+List+Location+Report+Prototype

Questions:

• What do RPWG members think of these (above) as our current highest priorities?
• Would the prototype developers like to develop the SQL queries for each of these?

Future Topics:

• Definition of "all FOLIO data" required for inclusion in the LDP.
• Evaluate the data model of the LDP's MARC implementation.
• Identify representative report queries on MARC records.
