In ERM SIG meeting on November 16th Owen Stephens gave an update on WOLCon ERM Workflow sessions. Additionally, the SIG discussed the implementers topic: "Re-think the order of the filters in Agreements and Licenses."
Agreements Local KB Subgroup: no meeting since last report.
Currently a new browse function for series is being developed. In an earlier meeting the SIG collected use cases with Christine (PO). She came back to the SIG to discuss a few areas, e.g. when to use series search vs. series browse, and what parts of the instance.series field should be included in the browse index. There are different use cases for a) having everything from this field in the browse (including volume) or b) removing some parts of the field for browse. It could also be a combination of a) and b).
Laura brought the topic of ordering holdings and items in the Inventory UI to the group. Everyone who is interested in this topic can reach out to her, so that we can continue working on refining UXPROD-1625 and UXPROD-1635 (and potentially create new tickets, if needed).
Jeff from LoC presented the LoC's proposal on how to implement alternate graphical representations into the instance data model. Link to document can be found here. One option would introduce a breaking change to Inventory by changing the data type of some fields like the instance.title from string to an array of objects. An alternative option w/o a breaking change would be to use the alternative title fields with a unique alternativeTitleTypeId. The group was in favor for the first option because this seems as the cleaner implementation from a metadata management perspective. Next step is to get this presented to the PO's and to decide if/how we could continue with this requirement.
Index Data working on pre-1.4 beta release of Metadb software version with improved transformation of JSON data, and has requested testing support from institutions running this software
new Metadb feature will allow the Metadb administrator to identify JSON that will be transformed into Metadb tables, which will transform more data from JSON data arrays into columns in tables and may reduce dependencies on derived table development and maintenance
Reporting SIG is discussing future of derived table development for use with Metadb
CTEs (Common Table Expressions), FUNCTIONS, and keeping small number of derived tables all under consideration and analysis, developing POCs (proof of concept)
permission naming oddities: For example, some say “Settings (Circ)” and some say “Settings (Circulation)”
Quesnelia experiences:
User app is faster in Quesnelia
Some of the actual cost billing bugs in seems to fixed with Quesnelia
The Group started reviweing old Vega features and wants to continue doing so in combination with a prioritization process (will wait for the PC intructions on that)
We are still searching for another Co-Convenor for RA SIG
Sys Ops SIG is meeting once a month (+ on demand) on the first Wednesday of the month at 12 PM EST. The last meeting was on Nov 6th . Ingolf gave an overview of recently published methods to deploy FOLIO, with links to the documentations (all on github). There are instructions for with and without Eureka. Most deploy on Kubernetes. There is a single server documention for Eureka deployment, not using Kubernetes. That is intendend for test and development purposes. Most documentations for deploying on Kubernetes use Helm charts, but not all do. Ingolf has tried out some of these instructions on a local test cluster.
Next meeting has been scheduled for Nov 27th (out of the row). Florian Gleixner from LRZ Munich has offered to demo their way of FOLIO deployment.
