| Notetaker | Laura E Daniels | |
| Announcements | Information and question from Marc Johnson in Slack:
Please get in touch with Marc ASAP if your institution relies on these features. Charlotte: we have not even begun to support other formats (other than MARC) –but this has always been the intention. Why not keep these features? Jenn (chat): it sounds like a maintenance issue Christie (chat): are they even usable in their current form? Jacquie: sounds like these would not even work anyway?

| Entity Management in FOLIO | WOLFcon session summary https://wolfcon2022.sched.com/event/14APp/entity-management-in-folio-next-steps Vision statement from working group Next steps 1) Refining vision, how to leverage current work around MARC authorities in FOLIO 2) What are resource implications for creation of functionality around entity management? Summary of WolfCon discussion: Khalilah outlined current development Tiziana shared info about Share VDE Proof of concept developed around Sinopia-FOLIO integration Questioning authorities tool There is a lot of broad interest in this within the community; what are the practicalities of getting work done toward this now that there are more live libraries and unmet needs Where should a working group start? Request: Form New Entity Management Working Group – not necessarily same group as before, should be cross-section of the community Entity Management Epic in JIRA:
ROAD-124

Getting issue details...
STATUS
Charlotte suggests starting with an environmental scan: what has happened in the project since the last working group ended. We also need: a convener, a PO, development resources Jason offered to convene. Lots of plus ones to this. Thank you, Jason! Felix offered every other week's MM time for this group to meet. Christie: suggests forming subgroups to investigate different approaches from a practical perspective Steven: supports idea of concurrent work, including polling community to prioritize first steps Charlotte: ARLEF might be interested in entity management? Jason: what does membership look like? Jenn: open broader discussions to help identify/self-select subgroups would be helpful Christie: these conversations might need to be broader than MM SIG Nancy: how do we make sure subgroup work meshes well together? needs to be some central organization; +1 from Jacquie Jason acknowledged this concern October 6 MM meeting time will be devoted to the first Entity Management Working Group discussion Jason will send out calls for participation across FOLIO community Christie: interested in helping structure the conversation so that we can come out with priorities Anyone else who would like to help form the agenda, contact Jason in Slack – will organize planning meeting before Oct 6 Entity Management Slack channel: #entity-management-wg | |
| Search: HRID and UUID for keyword search? | Charlotte Whitt |
GBV has mapped the record ID into identifiers array with namespace "PPN" which enables search in keyword index Ann-Marie: Ideally would like them in both keyword and identifier searches Lots of +1s to HRID in keyword search HRID vs UUID – most of us seem to search more by HRID? but sometimes we have reports with UUIDs only, so both in keyword would be helpful Do we have auto-truncation in keyword? Needs investigation (see bugs cited above) Rita in chat: One remark: many of the numbers mentioned here are not identifiers for a resource or product but for a certain record. So we have a mixture of identifiers in this instance element. Jacquie in chat: my concern is that we don't only have these IDs recorded in one place in one record. How would getting Bound-withs and relationships mess up? Wouldn't the keyword search find matching values across the library collection? Ann-Marie: HRIDs might conflict with other identifiers, but UUIDs should not Proposal: include HRID and UUID in keyword, but not in Identifier (all) index These stories won't be happening until Nolana at the earliest, so the above bugs should be solved before this happens. |
Chat:
11:33:27 From Rita Albrecht to Everyone:
+1!
11:33:58 From Jenn Colt to Everyone:
it sounds like a maintenance issue
11:34:15 From Jennifer Eustis (she/her) to Everyone:
+1 Jenn. It looks like extra work to maintain
11:34:42 From Christie Thomas (she/her) to Everyone:
Are they even usable in their current form?
11:35:49 From Ann-Marie Breaux to Everyone:
Part of the confusion may be Marc using the word feature instead of module or functionality
11:36:33 From Laura Daniels to Everyone:
stepping away for a minute, brb
11:37:09 From Ann-Marie Breaux to Everyone:
Yes, I remember the EAD group
11:38:28 From Laura Daniels to Everyone:

11:39:18 From Ann-Marie Breaux to Everyone:
No, I wasn't there
11:40:07 From Ann-Marie Breaux to Everyone:
This may be the WG for special collections/archives that we were remembering: https://folio-org.atlassian.net/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=3051773
11:42:41 From Jason Kovari (he/him) to Everyone:
It was
11:44:47 From Jenn Colt to Everyone:
it was just a typo he fixed
11:44:51 From Jenn Colt to Everyone:
it should be fine
11:47:03 From Jennifer Eustis (she/her) to Everyone:
I can test them out later today or tomorrow

11:55:43 From Christie Thomas (she/her) to Everyone:
https://folio-org.atlassian.net/browse/ROAD-124
11:56:13 From Charlotte Whitt to Everyone:
And we have new libraries who are considering FOLIO for whom entity management is very important
11:59:16 From Jenn Colt to Everyone:
That was my question too!
12:00:59 From nancy lorimer to Everyone:

# entity-management-wg
12:15:26 From Christie Thomas (she/her) to Laura Daniels(Direct Message):
I am not sure what for, but you are welcome. I am so thankful to Jason for stepping up.
12:16:06 From Laura Daniels to Christie Thomas (she/her)(Direct Message):
for helping with the agenda and focusing on a practical approach
12:16:12 From nancy lorimer to Everyone:
I will volunteer
12:16:19 From Christie Thomas (she/her) to Laura Daniels(Direct Message):
it is self-interest!
12:16:27 From Charlotte Whitt to Everyone:
And I’m volunteering too :-)
12:16:58 From Jason Kovari (he/him) to Everyone:
Thanks Nancy and Charlotte; I've added you to my notes of volunteers
12:17:11 From Jason Kovari (he/him) to Everyone:
I have to drop off; have a great day all
12:19:10 From Ann-Marie Breaux to Everyone:
Ideally I would love to have them in the Keyword and Identifier searches
12:19:23 From Jennifer Eustis (she/her) to Everyone:
That would be great
12:19:34 From Jenn Colt to Everyone:
hrid in the default search would be helpful
12:19:40 From Lynne Fors to Everyone:
I would love to have HRIDs in keyword searching
12:19:46 From f-piscitelli to Everyone:
+1
12:20:04 From Natascha Owens (she/her) to Everyone:
We search by HRID all the time so I would be happy to have in the keyword search
12:20:14 From Alissa Hafele to Everyone:
Same here.
12:20:15 From Christie Thomas (she/her) to Everyone:
+1
12:22:43 From Jennifer Eustis (she/her) to Everyone:
+1 Laura. We search by hrids all the time
12:23:19 From Ann-Marie Breaux to Everyone:
To me - anything that can give me a single known item result would be magical in the keyword search, which are HRIDs, UUIDs, and (for items) barcodes
12:23:49 From Felix Hemme (ZBW) to Everyone:
Do we have auto truncation in keyword search?
12:23:57 From Ann-Marie Breaux to Everyone:
That's exactly my UX Christie - no results? what the heck? oh, change to HRID or UUID...
12:24:05 From Jacquie Samples -- Duke to Everyone:
That makes sense, Christie! I hadn't considered the clicking to get to the correct search box.
12:24:43 From Christie Thomas (she/her) to Everyone:
I do understand if it causes a problem for other searches to have the UUIDs in the index.
12:24:49 From Jacquie Samples -- Duke to Everyone:
How would getting Bound-withs and relationships mess up? Wouldn't the keyword search find matching values across the library collection?
12:25:00 From Rita Albrecht to Everyone:
One remark: many of the numbers mentioned here are not identifiers for a resource or product but for a certain record. So we have a mixture of identifiers in this instance element.
12:25:19 From Jacquie Samples -- Duke to Everyone:
my concern is that we don't only have these IDs recorded in one place in one record.
12:26:33 From Ann-Marie Breaux to Everyone:
In the Instance identifiers, we definitely have a mix between record identifiers (like OCLC number, LCCN) and product identifiers (like ISBNs, ISSNs). In the orders app, we try to stick to product IDs, not record IDs.
12:27:30 From Charlotte Whitt to Everyone:
HRIDs and UUIDs are not product IDs
12:27:41 From Jacquie Samples -- Duke to Everyone:
Good point, Charlotte
12:27:42 From Christie Thomas (she/her) to Everyone:
the same thing is true for the hrids, too. Instance_HRIDs are not necessarily unique across the record.
