Recently submitted "union catalog" app idea

@Peter Murray

Background

PC effort to collect ideas for apps on FOLIO platform
FOLIO App Ideas
workflow for submitted ideas
- review in PC
- assign to SIG for review
  - engage with idea submitter (flesh out details, etc.)
  - SIG can choose to move idea forward for development or put it on hold if other dependencies need to come into play first
PC thought Consortia SIG should do first review (though it touches on other areas too)

Discussion

patron-facing user interface is no longer an important part of the "union catalog" concept; we may want to rethink the naming of this so as not to give the impression that we are creating a UI
interest in the states as well to have both push and pull from a union catalog (without human intervention); in Germany, currently there is the ability to pull from the union catalog but not to push back up
there is probably some design overlap between this feature and the idea of exposing records/inventories for sharing between libraries (i.e. peer-to-peer)
this also might overlap with a conversation that Sebastian Hammer would like to have with Consortia SIG about a hierarchical/clustering model for bib records

Next steps

@David Dahl and @Peter Murray will work on making sure these new ideas/comments are reflected in JIRA
@David Dahl will track down notes from previous Union Catalog discussion(s)
