Information and question from Marc Johnson in Slack: A long time ago (in the early days of FOLIO), two experimental features were added to mod-inventory:
very minimal Dublin Core links
a MODS based import
These were built with the intention of demonstrating some of the ways FOLIO could approach ideas like linked data and importing. These significantly predate the work done on data import and source records.
As far as I am aware, neither of which have been used beyond the MODS ingest being used to populate sample records in the hosted reference environments at one point.
Given there have already been changes to mod-inventory which break compatibility in Nolana, and this is code that is mostly only a burden at this stage, I intend to remove them. I want to check with the community if that will impact them before I do.
Would folks be affected by the removal of these two features?
Please get in touch with Marc ASAP if your institution relies on these features. |
