Time	Item	Who	Notes
5 min	Welcome, identification of note taker and next week's convener	Chris Manly Arntson	Dale will host the meeting as Ingolf is ill. Michelle will take notes.
variable	Discuss 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
variable	New discussion items	Various	We want to leave time for people to bring new ideas, if any, to this group.

@Next meeting – review what we have in data maps to see how we begin to create composite list of "missing" elements
