2021-09-02 Metadata Management Meeting notes

Airflow gives a graphic user interface of the workflow. They will be adding in email notifications. 

Sinolio progress - Will have something to show by October 15. bit.ly/sinolioboard to check progress (need a Github account to see)

• They are interested to hear our reactions -
• Useful?
• MM SIG involve?
• How does FOLIO currently manage non MARC data in FOLIO?
• What would you want to do with Sinopia data in FOLIO?

_________________

They would be willing to give an update in October.

Ann-Marie: "I love the idea of having the editing tool for RDF as an external, but easily synchronized, application. It makes my head spin to think about having metadata editors for umpteen types of bib metadata in FOLIO"

Jeremy: right now Sinopia supports RDF, but could be extensible. 

Christie: How do we do this in a ecosystem where this is one source of data. Not everything will have a representation in Sinopia, and not have MARC for some resources. How does that co-exist? How does VuFind know the difference between MARC. How are these integrated, or communicated? That is a practical challenges in thinking about this.

Michelle believes that having examples will help answer some of Christie's questions.

Charlotte commented that this work is great since FOLIO is intended NOT to be MARC-centric

Ann-Marie (via chat) - "One of the key things (I think) is articulating the requirement -- we have bib metadata in multiple formats that needs to be communicated to our discovery systems. And once that is articulated clearly, then the "how" and the details become part of design and development"

Christie (via chat) - "I was thinking about that Ann-Marie and if there is no source record stored in FOLIO, then does the source = FOLIO or does the source = Sinopia / Sinolio? Maybe that depends on where and how the data that is created in Sinopia is stored. It could be stored in FOLIO and then sent back to Sinopia for editing. There could be many potential models for how the data flows."

Jeremy will follow up with Charlotte- interested in getting from FOLIO back to Sinopia.

Felix: "Answer to Q2: GBV, a library network in Germany has connected their union catalog to Inventory as record source (instances, holdings, and items). It's using PICA+ as internal and Pica3 as cataloging format."

"Q1: Transformations are done using XSL transformations and then the Inventory XML records are converted to JSON."

Michelle: Is there a model for MARC to FOLIO mapping? Ann-Marie: 

Felix (via chat) - @Christie a long time ago there was a proposal to split the "source" field into 2 fields: 
"https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xVi1iTjpYbKkHqmk-xQ81HQsSPRIidTrLKY-S0wNksM/edit#gid=0" But this has not been investigated.

Nancy Lorimer - Would it make sense to take the mapping we have now and try to use it for the Sinopia to FOLIO mapping. 

Laura shares everyone's enthusiasm. 

What other FOLIO groups would be interested?

• Entity Management Working Group convened by Jason Kovari
• Jeremy has been involved in sys ops SIG. 
• ERM
• Tech Council
