Topics for Future Reporting SIG Meetings

Feb 10, 2022

This is a list of topics the Reporting SIG is considering for future meetings.

  • Follow-up on MARC status, Quickmarc/Data Import conflicts

  • How to strengthen connections to SIGs and their developers to be kept in the loop about changes to the data model

  • Show and tell

    • how are institutions using the LDP

    • examples of using the local schema

    • Cornell's report ticketing system

    • Rollout plans from institutions

    • Ask someone on the sysadmin side to talk about LDP administration (Jason Root?)

    • What is done in JIRA? (JIRA clean up)

  • Training topics

    • adding test data in FOLIO snapshot

    • How to do ad hoc querying with the derived tables

    • How to use the LDP app

    • using KNIME to build reports (LDP edition)

    • use of local schema for custom tables

    • more on MARC (ask Jennifer)

    • using different applications (other than DBeaver)

    • Insomnia for API queries?

    • SQL

    • LDP to metadb

    • Metadb implications

      • if schema changes, will that be relatively seamless? old fields still in history, but new fields in current?

      • if fields are deprecated and removed, what happens if they come back again?

      • how will deleted records show up?

    • Git/GitHub

    • Panorama

    • LDLite (again?)

  • Discussion:

    • how to rank clusters with institutional rankings going away?

    • consortia SIG is talking about a central office app of some kind; that app might need to deal with consortia-wide reporting

    • how to train:

      • wiki pages with examples? form a small project team? (e.g., how to pull from marc, how to use local schema)

      • each dev team create training about the data structures in that area?

    • Query style (ask Nassib)

    • Gathering institutional query repositories; someone can propose a new page or a new addition to an existing page on FOLIO Analytics?

    • Follow up on how devs can work with SMEs better to decide on and advertise data model changes

  • Upcoming:

    • SQL advice/query optimization (Axel)

    • query demo - MARC (Tod)

    • Intro to SQL training (as time allows)

    • revisit discussion on openness/transparency in communication and open source software; decide as a group what we would like to advocate for

    • reports from implementers on experiences with hosting solutions
