| 5 min | Announcements | Lotus code release deadline is pushed back a few weeks: Lotus (R1 2022)
National Science Library in Namibia went live on FOLIO last week. | |
| 45 mins | Authority Control
Discussion goals:
| Khalilah Gambrell (presenter/demo) Mikhail Fokanov (presenter/demo) | Clarifying that no MARC authority data is being stored; a more generic schema is being used (authority.json) and stored in mod-inventory-storage. When the development team gathers for building the Entities app, this schema could be used as a start. This follows the pattern of mod-inventory-storage and mod-search for instance/holdings records. The intention is not to constrain what the Entities app developers might do, and might point to future work to simplify the functionality now being done in the Inventory app. For Lotus: just authority storage and management; work on "control" is expected to start in Morning Glory. In the course of creating the MARC Authority app, there have been improvements made to the Stripes table view component to make it more accessible to screen readers. John Colburn has been making these updates and working with Zak to get them integrated into other apps as well. Data Import is used to add authority records to the system; there is not a "New" action. This is in line with feedback from the QuickMARC testing libraries. This MARC Authority app needs approval from PC for inclusion in the Lotus release. There are concerns about the process by which a new app was developed and how late in the development process that PC learned about it. For instance, we would want coordination between the group that conceived of the Entities app and this development of the MARC Authorities app. The MM SIG could have been learned about the development of the authority schema and the use of mod-inventory-storage earlier. The PC is interested in reviewing functionality as it is being conceived because it doesn't want to ask TC to perform unnecessary technical reviews. Can the SIG updates be used to raise awareness of this kind of upcoming functionality? Does PC endorse this app being added to FOLIO? No objections from PC members. PC asks TC to perform a technical review of the MARC Authorities app. Taking a step or two back, should the PC be in a position to not accept something that an organization has devoted effort and money into building? |
| 15 min | Community recruitment: discussion of how to recruit more POs and/or developers | Getting Started for Product Owners has information about product owners. There are companies in China that want to join the development effort; can videos and resources be created to help assist that? Can the videos that are on Google Drive now be updated to current? The China FOLIO meeting is happening in April, and that would be a good time to share this information and recruit developers. | |
| 5 min | future topics: | Functional criteria for FOLIO Next week is the SIG update meeting, the template for reports from SIG conveners is here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1268qg6EoxMwgqnmQkgeUycZkZJQs-No4rJr5xizvamw/edit# |
