| 10 mins | Inventory | Christie | - Christie will provide an 's update on progress in the MM group on the gap analysis:
- For this review they formed 2 subgroups: Instances and Holdings & Items
- They'll finish this analysis during their last meeting today (7/9/18)
- They created two new columns on the 'gaps' tab:
- MM Sig Review (for comments)
- Priority (Most ended up being 'go-live', 'not needed', or need further discussion with other SIGs)
- They will be recommending a new element that was heavily discussed during this meeting:
- 'Statistical Search Code' – a repeatable element applicable to any instance, holding or item record
- They found many different uses for this across institutions
- We wondered about the impact to development
- How is this element different than tags? → tabs won't be viable for high confidence reporting. The understanding is tags will be more organic and not something for high confidence reporting.
- If there could be be 'reserved' tags that have an additional layer of control...that might work.
- The imagined using this field for things like reporting, counting...they need to have a count of titles based on type and items based on type. (just as an example).
- The data structure doesn't support things we need to know about our data. The Statistical Search Code remedies this.
