| 30min | OAI-PMH FOLIO Project overview and discussion | | OAI-PMH, Project dashboard: https://folio-org.atlassian.net/secure/RapidBoard.jspa?rapidView=75&projectKey=MODOAIPMH&view=detail - assumed primary use case is for discovery services
- building the harvesting service, not the OAI harvester (i.e. FOLIO is source of harvested data)
- benefit: provides a standard that abstracts out ILS for retrieving data
- Harvesting will happen on mod-marc-storage (as opposed to Inventory module); long term functionality (native data stores vs. inventory harvesting is TBD)
- Harry is working as product owner, Craig McNally as tech lead
- JIRA dashboard for the project is available; Harry will send link
- questions/discussion
- upper limit to number of harvesting sources (OHIOlink has 53)?
- no software limit; might be performance/storage issue
- initial harvest might be more resource-intensive, but subsequent update harvests will be less so
- anybody relying on OAI-PMH for any consortial services?
- none known (for ILS at least)
- union catalog as patron-facing user interface vs. central repository of records that is exposed through a discovery interface
- harvesting could be either directly to the discovery layer (i.e. patron-facing UI) or to a central repository of records, depending on the goals of the union catalog
- bi-directional requirements for union catalog data flow
- this project would enable one direction (local ILS to union catalog)
