Agenda: 

• • Discuss any adjustments to DI Subgroup meetings for the new year
    • Note-taking assistance
      • A small group will rotate note-taking responsibilities. Jennifer Eustiss, Corrie Hutchinson, and Christie Thomas have volunteered. Christie is taking notes today. 
    • Meeting frequency: Do folks prefer weekly, or does every other week sound like a better cadence for the group to meet?
      • Based on the suggestions, we do have enough things to work on that we could use the time that has been set aside for the group.
      • Keep it as weekly for a while and come back to it later to see if that has changed.
    • Any other thoughts or suggestions?
      • Use time to center the big picture of data import in the discussion and work.
      • Maybe less focus on new features and more focus on fixing existing features that don't work the way that are supposed to.
      • Work on a common understanding of what it means for various functions to work, such as logs, field mapping, updates, and creates, etc. Need documented, shared requirements.
      • Have earlier and more frequent testing as functionality is developed and bugs are fixed.
      • Spend more time on requirements and expectations.
      • Spend time on documenting requirements and expectations. It is hard to know how data import is supposed to work. 
        • Maybe this needs to be a subgroup? 
        • Maybe documentation can be a part of the non-functional requirement as work is done.
      • In the ACQ SIG, the SMEs write up the stories and there is centrally managed list of all of the stories. Would this help identify issues before they end up in a sprint?
  • MODDATAIMP-879: Data Import removes duplicate 856s in SRS
    • Clarify expectations on removal of duplicates.
      • Need to clarify internally what we mean by de-duplication. De-duplication on the mapping to the inventory or holdings record vs removing duplicate data from the incoming srs records.
      • Also need to make sure that the requirements between de-duplicating within an import record and de-duplication of protected fields when overlaying an existing FOLIO record and a new record being imported.
      • Need to clarify what we mean by de-duplicate. It can be unclear what we are talking about.
  • UXPROD-2742: MARC-MARC matching enhancements: Narrowing multiple matches & Bug work
    • Discuss use cases and example files.
