Planning future meeting topics | All | What should we schedule for SIG meetings over the next couple of weeks? Intro to SQL (today, more?) Git/GitHub also nice Git plugin for DBeaver actually some urgency? came up in MM (both Git/GitHub and the DBeaver plugin) first foundational Git then maybe GitHub Desktop then maybe command line remember, we have a wiki page with some details then focus on SIG-specific GitHub practices
Share experiences on hosting options for reporting databases might inform how we develop a vision and strategy the more information we have on how the LDP tools are used, the better we will be able to communicate that back to the community Cornell: Sharon will check Duke: Angela will check Texas A&M: probably Eric, maybe Jason MSU: maybe Mark Arnold to talk about LDLite Chicago: Tod? Scott? Christie? European institutions mostly waiting for Metadb, not really hosting yet (direct access to FOLIO database) Open question: when will people have time for this; could be a while
Develop a FOLIO Reporting Vision and Strategy not urgent, but really important (quadrant 2) might be good to have some discussions about past/current issues before planning
Advanced SQL topics Others?

Updates and Query Demonstrations from Various Reporting Related Groups and Efforts | Community & Coordination, Reporting Subgroup Leads | Project updates Reporting development is using small subgroups to address priorities and complete work on report queries. Each week, these groups will share reports/queries with the Reporting SIG. Reporting development team leads are encouraged to enter a summary of their work group activities below. RA/UM Working Group Meetings have become more of a lab session, working through specific problems Angela has been attending RA SIG meetings to open the lines of communication, now once a month Contact Angela if you would like to join these meetings; second Wednesdays at 1pm eastern Context
MM Working Group Meetings are 1st Tuesday of the month, 12-1pm ET via zoom using the usual FOLIO password. Our lab sessions are open to everyone. Please bring your questions, examples, and comments about reporting and metadata. Our goals this year: Work on converting our LDP derived tables and queries to metadb Work on learning GitHub, git, and more sql
ERM Working Group Discussed ERM Goals 2022 Complete documentation on existing derived tables Migrate ERM LDP queries for Metadb use How to get more ERM SIG more involved for... How can development for the integration of eHoldings data be funded
Housekeeing: Github issues left overs, how long to keep meeting recordings etc. ERM Prototype and Query Development Status Meetings are bi-weekly on tuesdays 11am ET alternating with RM Working Group Next meeting will be at 1st, february Contact @Axel Dörrer if you would like to get a calendar invitation.
RM Working Group group is working on RM-related derived tables and queries for Metadb working on LDP to Metadb table mapping spreadsheet to prepare for transition to Metadb looking at using https://mermaid-js.github.io/mermaid/#/ to document data models in RM areas of FOLIO several queries for RM completed, but still need documentation, testing, and review for latest updates, see RM Prototype and Query Development Status Meetings are biweekly on Tuesdays 11am-noon ET; contact @Sharon Markus if you would like to join us
Reporting SIG Documentation Subgroup External Statistics Working Group no updates currently new organizational/tracking scheme for JIRA, with pointers to queries in folio-analytics repository New organizational structure for External Statistics reports external statistics reports (e.g., ACRL) typically require running queries from different functional reporting areas these reports will be captured in JIRA under one UXPROD-XXXX report cluster issue, then the descriptions will point to each of the queries required to run them on the folio-analytics repository institutions will need to rank each of these 8 new UXPROD-XXXX report cluster issues each reporting development team will take responsibility for the queries in their area for the external statistics clusters
Product Council For all recent work on FOLIO Reporting SQL development: |
Topics for Future Meetings | All | 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
