Impacts of New Fields and Features

• Are there any new fields or features we should know about from any of the functional areas that may impact reporting?
  • (Jennifer Eustis) from MM: a new field for item source
    • instance and holdings both have source (MARC or FOLIO); for MARC, there is an underlying MARC srs ecord, but not for FOLIO
    • some libraries have asked for item source; they don't do cataloguing in FOLIO and want to keep track of the source at the item level
    • still in draft, and there is some concern about naming it "source" since it is not connected to SRS, just relating to the record of truth, or maybe provenance
    • German libraries, source can be union catalog or FOLIO
    • proposal: New field in the item record: Source ID - Functional analysis
  • (Stefan Dombek) feature with Orchid: in the module audit, we have logs for orders and order lines and snapshot for create, edit, and delete records (unfortunately not for fiscal year rollover, just create/edit/delete; need to know the date of your FYO and then report based on that)
    • https://issues.folio.org/plugins/servlet/mobile#issue/UXPROD-3215 
  • (Jennifer Eustis) in the past we've talked about duplicate UUIDs, which causes problems with data import and export; at 5C, we'd love to see a log for when this is an issue
    • with import, the exit status is negative if there is a duplicate
    • development team was aware of this, but now we have a JIRA ticket to ask for the actual UUIDs that are duplicated and allow people to address the issue

Sign up for the MM/RA/UM query development subgroup

• Starting in September, Christie Thomas (UChicago) will be leading the MM/RA/UM subgroup! Thanks, Christie!
• The group will continue to meet once a month

Any new members?

• Welcome/introductions

• Representative for the Documentation Working Group
• Query developers
• Members of the FOLIO Analytics Review Board (immediate need!)

• D-Reporting is interested in having an overview of the LDP, what are the benefits of the software
• SIG is the appropriate group to be working on that
• Should this be a wiki page? An analysis of different solutions?
  
  • maybe a table of different solutions, and how they each stack up against different desired features (e.g., "open source solution", "near-real time data", "separate database from operational database")
• Most libraries are interested in Metadb, but they need an official document outlining what the features (could be useful for justifying the cost of support contracts)
• Timeframe: maybe by end of year or early 2024
• Would be best that this is somewhat independent from Index Data
• FOLIO docs (https://docs.folio.org/docs/reporting/) has a list of features
• Could also build off FOLIO Reporting Options to get a list of alternatives
• Additional request for a table that has checks for different features
• Can limit to just Metadb, need live data
• First step, yes, can just do pros and cons about Metadb
• Maybe pull together that basic list in the next couple of months, share draft with D-Reporting, see if that list is enough
• LDP project is an OLF project, but still in incubator status
• TBD: who is going to draft the first version of the list (check with Tod after WOLFcon)
• Sharon and Scott will keep an eye on this as well

• Data Dictionary (FOLIO Schema Parser)
• Backup of Schema Parser code on GitHub
