• Coming out of the Workflow PoC there's a desire to allow people to use the Spring framework in developing FOLIO - even Core applications/capabilities.

Provide update from Nassib on estimation of LDP work:

Steps required to complete a report:

1. Identify the APIs related to the report information

2. Map the Data Attributes from the APIs to data elements desired in the report

3. Update the database design so that those data elements have a place to land and can be queried efficiently.

4. Create ETL to call the API and transform as needed so the data elements can be loaded

5. Create the report which pulls data from the new database elements

In addition to creating this report we also need to worry about ongoing maintenance, which fall into 2 categories:

1. Standard upkeep and maintenance; scheduling jobs to pull data out of FOLIO into the reporting database, error tracking/resolution should jobs fail, etc.

2. Documenting changes to FOLIO APIs and amending the ETL and/or database schema as needed due to FOLIO changes

We don’t have enough data to make good estimates on the above activity because the sample size is too small. Once we have more API descriptions/documentation (i.e. FOLIO-155) we can implement more ETL and reports and at that point have a good basis for a longer term estimate.
