Subgroup updates
Lynn/Charlotte: Advanced searching |
Resource/Format - A 4th meeting is being scheduled. Members are being contacted.
Christie Thomas has agreed to serve on a FOLIO tags subgroup.
Sarah from Duke is participating on the Special Collections subgroup. She will report
Felix Hemme will participate on the ERM subgroup. On March 21 and 22 there will be a two day meeting.
Data Migration Group
Wayne and Charlotte are participating in a data migration subgroup. They are working with the German group of libraries to migrate their data.
Christie is working with Dale at Chicago to migrate their data into a FOLIO Alpha instance. Is it worth having another subgroup meeting for those who are working on mapping. They are finding elements that are not being represented. Charlotte suggested reconvening with that working group. Right now the group is working with a long list of missing elements and could use the input from Chicago now.
Ann-Marie asked how the batch MARC loader discussions are progressing. Lynn will speak to Filip about this.
What should the timing be on fine-tuning data migrations? Should we focus on Alpha, or wait for a more robust version?
Patty Wanninger said that the migration team is working on a gap analysis. They will consolidate "what is missing" and send it to the Product Council.
Charlotte recommends that we have a conversation about all of the elements defined as "missing" and not wait until later. This could be a smaller group. Christie agreed that if the data-migration group is doing a gap analysis they could take part now.
Jacquie asked whether we need the Product Council's "permission" to do a gap analysis.
Lynn will connect with Patty, Wayne, and Charlotte and figure out how gap analysis can work, then decide our next steps.
Face to Face sessions or Workshop sessions at WOLFcon? (sometime in June)
Charlotte added notes from our last meeting in the spreadsheet. The developers are eager to get this feedback. Charlotte has a meeting with them today and tomorrow about this.
Laura - Would we want to search by edition? Sarah at Duke said that is a common search for rare books and music, and that a combined search for title and edition may be used, as an example.
Publisher - Ann-Marie said that keyword is the important part of this search.
Place of Publication - Right now they are mapping from the 26X field. Jacquie asked whether the fixed field data should be searched in an advanced search, for publisher date and publication place. Wayne - Data from the fixed fields may get converted when going from a MARC record to an inventory record. The fixed field will no longer be a separate element in the data model for the inventory app. Patty - Is there documentation to say where this information is coming from? "Instance Metadata for Inventory" - spreadsheet shows this information. Jacquie - the fixed field data have lookup data in the LC thesauri - may be a better place when consider a linked data environment. Wayne - How do you imagine searching? By code? By a place name as represented in the LC thesaurus. Jacquie - a place name or place code could be used to be searched. Wayne - Does the model need to be expanded to include the place name code from the 008 field? Would the code be separated? Laura Wright would not want to see us get rid of the 26X place of publication.
Publication Date - This should be included in a basic search as well as an advanced search.
URL - 856 information. - Fine for advanced
Resource type - (Equivalent with RDA Content - "Format" is the "media" and "carrier type") - Ann-Marie - Is this something that belongs in a filter?
Filtering vs. Faceting:
Filtering - Predefined list of things of things you apply prior to search
Faceting - A set of things that comes out of a result set that comes from a search.
