MM SIG Priority Ranking Results | @Lynne Fors and the SIG |   17 participants. The results have been added to the https://folio-org.atlassian.net/wiki/x/RgB-Nw from the PC. Results have also been posted in Slack. Lynne: The top five may need additional information so development can move forward. This can be worked on today or future meetings. Felix: Regarding the “Ability to maintain relationships with other apps when holdings/items are removed”, wondering whether this should be made an NFR because having a system without corrupt data and with correct relationships even after go live is fundamental. Some of these issues have already been fixed in the Ramsons release, such as moving a holdings to an instance in the Inventory app will also move POL link. However, it is not working for other apps, such as Requests. Lynne agreed it should be an NFR. Charlotte mentioned that this was previous listed as a bug, but it was changed to a story. Felix will contact the PO, and this issue will be listed as an NFR with a story. |

Product Council updates | Charlotte Whitt | https://folio-org.atlassian.net/wiki/x/ZQAEP Announcements: Documentation Working Group will have a new interim convener Ludwig Liebl. FOLIO members meeting on 6/5/2025 at 10 am EST. The PC will reschedule it’s meeting. There were two presentations: Better Sample Data working group update - link to slide deck. Status on the work: Improvement of data in FOLIO Snapshot environments and Data Anonymization. A year ago a PC working group was formed to improve the sample data in bugfest and FOLIO snapshot environments. Working group was represented by Shelly from Stanford and Charlotte. Shelly is leading the data anonymization implementation work for bugfest environments. The PC has approached three institutions about adding their anonymized data. Data anonymization is thorough including policies, such as locations and personal information in MARC data. Charlotte is involved in the FOLIO snapshot environment. There are working on improving data in the Inventory, Data Import, and the ERM-related apps. This effort is to make sure bugs are caught early. Bugs found early are much cheaper to fix than when they are found in bugfest tests or after a flower release, which requires a critical service patch. Open Access Publication Management App - Leipzig University worked with K-int to develop the OA App. First release was with Nolana & Orchid (2023). Wiki page. OA app is not part of the current flower release. The latest release of OA is 3.2.0 (03/2025). Leipzig and SLUB Dresden will in 2025-2028 work on functional enhancements of OA via external tender. With new funding, will work towards to get the OA App approved by the TC to be included in Flower releases. Link to slide deck. |
