Discuss composite spreadsheet & our role in modeling Folio data.

Various

• Chicago created instance, holding, item OLE mapping data which will go into a spreadsheet in the OLE 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

• There is a MM SIG Working Groups inventory metadata elements spreadsheet. The data migration group can add notes in column i

We spent a short amount of time talking about human readable IDs.

• We need to think about where they are needed.

• This topic is being actively discussed outside of this group

• Charlotte has been tasked to create a document around this subject (outsite of this group)
