OAI-PMH FOLIO Project overview and discussion 

@Hkaplanian 

OAI-PMH, Project dashboard: https://folio-org.atlassian.net/secure/RapidBoard.jspa?rapidView=75&projectKey=MODOAIPMH&view=detail

• assumed primary use case is for discovery services

• building the harvesting service, not the OAI harvester (i.e. FOLIO is source of harvested data)

• benefit: provides a standard that abstracts out ILS for retrieving data

• Harvesting will happen on mod-marc-storage (as opposed to Inventory module); long term functionality (native data stores vs. inventory harvesting is TBD)

• Harry is working as product owner, Craig McNally as tech lead

• JIRA dashboard for the project is available; Harry will send link

• questions/discussion

  • upper limit to number of harvesting sources (OHIOlink has 53)?

    • no software limit; might be performance/storage issue

    • initial harvest might be more resource-intensive, but subsequent update harvests will be less so

  • anybody relying on OAI-PMH for any consortial services?

    • none known (for ILS at least)

  • union catalog as patron-facing user interface vs. central repository of records that is exposed through a discovery interface

    • harvesting could be either directly to the discovery layer (i.e. patron-facing UI) or to a central repository of records, depending on the goals of the union catalog

  • bi-directional requirements for union catalog data flow

    • this project would enable one direction (local ILS to union catalog)

Wrap-up/planning

All

follow up on single implementation model, more discussion about multi-tenant model (multi-tenant is very important to a lot of consortia; how do we move this forward?)
