2021-03-25 Metadata Management Meeting notes

WOLFCon June 1-3. Likely no cost for participation. 

• • Can MM SIG have focused working groups? What topics would we want to address?
  • High level topics: Roadmap process, experiences of implementers
  • Other projects GoKB, ReShare, etc
  • Christie - Can we have a session where we take a step back and revisit larger issues, UI, competing Jiras, other "big-picture" topics. Outcome: New or changed approaches. Working meetings may be helpful at a larger, big picture level, where more people are involved participating and facilitating a discussion. 
  • Charlotte - suggested talking about the new pointing system, or, as Ann-Marie noted, reviewing it as by June it will be in use.
  • "Unconference"? Can we have an unconference session for the MM SIG? - Christie. Laura. Jenn Colt (via chat) - "i would suggest after migration maybe? september?"
  • Christie (via chat) - "that is not a bad idea either. June is going to be really busy for all of the summer implementers."
  • Laura would like us to gather around a topic. If you have ideas, send to Laura, or post them here.
  • Importance of cross-area participation
  • Charlotte - The German WOLFCon offered virtual backgrounds for conference attendees.

No updates given.

Alternatives for features still in production

Page of "workarounds" - mostly for Resource Access so far, but anyone can contribute to this. If you have a workaround that you would like to share, please put it here. 

Jacquie (via chat) - "Should I add that we're anticipating using the Item HRID for materials not getting a 'barcode sticker" since the system doesn't auto-generate a system barcode number.  Is that important enough to put in?"

Felicia Piscitelli (via chat) - "Sorry, I missed something--where is the item HRID going if there's no barcode?" - Laura answered, "in the item barcode field"

Christie - concerns about what is a bug vs. what is a workaround. One institution's bug may be a desired feature for another institution. Where do we document this? What is the appropriate avenue for these cases? Where is a space for this? Laura 

Suggestion to always report issues not working as we think they should as bugs. 

Where does this belong? (where would you look for it?)

Importance of docs.folio.org - which will be the official documentation. Jesse pointed out that what is needed for documentation should make its way to the formal documentation. formal vs informal documentation.

The first few passes at the formal documentation will be a clear document features that are settled and 

Circulation uses resource access space to add their documentation needs.

Meeting minutes by topic - use of label to define topics within meeting minutes.

Duke example: https://wiki.duke.edu/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=129139616

Kelly Drake has asked the community to review the Batch (Bulk) Edit Use Cases and add anything that is missing, or add details to those that descriptions that already exist--

Do this as SIG? (homework/discussion) or designate a working group?

Please review use cases, make sure they are still relevant. Working group? Meeting time? Independent work? Decision to review this as a group during MM meeting time.
