• Jacob hopes to still make the in-person meeting in Boston.

Agenda for in-person meeting.

• Jacob, Filip, and Lynn are continuing to work on an agenda and will share any progress with the group next week.

How does the RM group fit in with the other prioritized SIGs, particularly Metadata Management?

• Charlotte confirmed that RM was not listed as a prioritized SIG because it already exists, not because it isn't needed.
• The group also discussed the differences between resource management and metadata management.
  • We see resource management as focusing on business operations, acquisitions, budget management, inventory management, and a data model to support these functions.
  • Metadata management will be more focused on bibliographic metadata, metadata storage, authorities, and items/statuses/locations.
• The RM group will work on writing a charge to codify its purpose.

Discussion of HBZ/GBV requirements catalog

• Martina provided some background about the requirements catalog.
  • It was created by the two German library consortia.
  • The goal is to provide a checklist of required functionality for evaluating library systems.
  • The report is structured as a hierarchy: chapter>subchapter>criteria>requirement.
  • Each requirement is given a priority according to the MoSCoW method.
• The group agreed that we should review and discuss further.
• Jacob also wants to ensure that our discussion covers selection and evaluation.
• The group will review and comment in the Google Docs version of the requirements catalog.
• We will plan to return to this discussion on Nov. 18.
