variableDiscuss efforts to create a composite view of the institutional data element currently missing in Folio.VariousWe have so far created spreadsheets that document institutional data elements that may need to be migrated, and begun to create a composite spreadsheet that compares those elements across institutions. In this meeting, we will discuss the usefulness of these approaches, and where we would like to go with them.composite spreadsheet.Various
  • Chicago created instance, holding, item OLE mapping data which will go into a spreadsheet in the data mapping folder. Someone from Chicago will use some of this data to fill in the OLE column of the composite spreadsheet.
  • We discussed the format of the composite spreadsheet (should we continue with it). We agreed to stick to this format specifically because it does provide utility (e.g. side-by-side view).
  • We had a lengthy discussion about whether or not to add information like data types, repeatable, "nullable" to the composite spreadsheet. We didn't make a final decision about this but some of the comments around it were:
    • At this time our objective is to find data elements of possible concern and later should do a more detailed analysis where deficits are found.
    • How would we indicate data type on the spreadsheet: plain language sticking with conventional data types
    • Array has already begun to be noted in the spreadsheet with brackets[]
    • An example – we need a way to express we need space for more than one barcode
    • An example of "nullable" - Chicago has some patrons that do not have usernames
variableNew discussion itemsVariousWe want to leave time for people to bring new ideas, if any, to this group.
