Introduce yourself!

Please add “eUsage” to “Focus of Work” in the table https://folio-org.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ERMSIG (ERM SIG Home - Members).

New project at the Hebis library network for the plugin eUsage reports

See https://folio-org.atlassian.net/browse/UXPROD-5535

  • Development by Index Data

  • Contact person (Hebis): Cyrus Massoumi

Roadmap update

https://folio-org.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ERMSIG/pages/801570820

  • Trillium: No new features will be developed for Trillium because we have an unofficial feature freeze for Trillium until the end of the year. The last feature we are currently implementing is improved error handling for manual report uploads.

  • Umbrellaleaf: The redesign of the harvester is the top priority.

Redesign of the harvester

The backend of the harvester needs to be redesigned. The current design cannot meet the new requirements.

New requirements:

  • Error handling of the several CoP codes with different requirements

  • Multiple harvester accounts per provider

  • Extend information from Counter exceptions

  • …

The DevTeam Leipzig has already completed a draft, which is still being discussed internally. Once the draft is finalized, it will be presented to the eUsage subgroup.

First draft:

Please note: This blocks CoP error handling. We can still prepare the issues in the SIG. However, the new error handling can only be implemented after the harvester has been redesigned.

Discussion at COUNTER regarding formatting ISBN

There is some debate about whether providers can supply ISBNs without hyphens.

  • Validation within eUsage checks the ISBN. That would not be possible at present. If that happens, it would still need to be implemented.

  • Problem: Matching for eUsage reports depends on valid ISBNs.

Open points that are discussed depending on the time available

 

Implementers topic - Multiple harvester accounts per provider

Due to the different releases, there should be a solution. It should be possible to create multiple SUSHI accounts per provider. This is also done in Alma by Ex Libris.

See draft: Multiple harvester accounts per provider

Implementers topic - Extend information from Counter exceptions

Additional properties in JSON object for Counter reports for the parts of COUNTER API exception messages

Implementers topic - S3 Objekt Cloud Storage

  • Not only via AWS, but general connection to S3 object cloud storage (data sovereignty).

  • Feedback from backend developer: It would work for the non-Counter reports. For the Counter reports, you would have to modify the backend a lot.
