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
Are these discussions redundant? – no ....no other groups are looking at this yet (other than metadata management)
The migration group really serves as the reality check. We need to be able to raise red flags.
We need to get this data out soon to be able to impact v1.
Plan for sharing the composite spreadsheet:
Share it with both POs and SIG conveners
POs can provide context for the SIGs
We discussed possible ways to handoff this spreadsheet:
Quick meeting with someone from this group, POs and convenyers?
Possibly reach out to POs now to let them know we are working on this?
**Before the handoff we need to ask about the equivilency of some of the fields (are they equivilent or not)
Plan for the spreadsheet moving forward ...finish a portion during the week then discuss as a group:
Users (for next week)
Inventory
Circ.
Acq.
Charlotte will try to obtain the diagram created by Stacks/Dennis Bridges for Acq before we tackle this
