Attendance & Notes	Angela	Attendance & Notes Today's attendance-taker: Linda (or substitute) Today's note-takers: Team Leads for project updates
Announcements / Reminders	Angela	Schedule for December cancelling December 21 development team meeting and December 26 SIG meeting One convener is great, but two is better! Happy to announce that Sharon Beltaine will begin serving as co-convener (again!) in January. Thanks so much, Sharon! Any new members? Welcome/introductions Would anyone like a buddy? Like to be a buddy? How to find our latest recordings Recording details available on our Reporting SIG Meetings and Notes page and Reporting SIG Subteam Meetings page (Always) Recruiting New Query Developers The Reporting SIG is always on the look-out for new query developers. Please let us know if you are interested in doing query development or if there are others at your institution who might be a good fit.
Update on documentation of derived tables	Stefan, Axel	Axel and Stefan have met to talk about automating documentation of derived tables Stefan created a script to extract comments and tables from the derived table scripts Would like to automate diagrams for these tables, but it could be tricky. Have to parse the SQL to extract the tables and the joining fields. Nassib did suggest using doxygen, could explore that if we really want that Do we really want diagrams? Several people say yes If we can't do it automatically, it could take resources, be hard to keep up to date Maybe there is a way to do something semi-automated - could add comments into the script with a particular syntax that would indicate the tables and joins yes, but is more work, harder to review Is the main goal of the diagrams for people to see how the tables join? yes, probably just the tables and the joining fields, rather than the rest of the attributes Should be careful about keeping things up to date. How frequently would it be updated? probably every release
Review of In-Progress Projects		Build a directory of extracted and derived tables (see previous discussion) Build Training Program for FOLIO Data Model RA/UM: will take some time tomorrow (Dec 13) to think about inventory Investigate LDP Hosting Support Port LDP derived tables to Metadb Recruit from new institutions not represented
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 Contact Angela if you would like to join these meetings; second Tuesdays at 1pm Eastern Context Meeting notes: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UnzG64tl917LOH2FtWhCEPlSOsnJWKL-0eu88Ouo1DU/edit Current status of RA/UM issues: https://github.com/folio-org/folio-analytics/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+RA%2FUM Status of LDP → Metadb querying porting: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1efLc6QMJyGuXyQM26pZbti-B6wFhJuZt7s7FJbhdXYo/edit#gid=0 Recording of porting a table from LDP to Metadb: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1FrhrIM8-MeF0BPbI3kuD5ofoAqwGu1P1 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. MM notes We will be fixing the LDP derived table instance_ext.sql which has a duplicate field (record_source and instance_source). The column record_source will be removed and comments will be added to the derived table. If you are able to test ldpmarc 1.6 new release, please do so. ERM Working Group FOLIO Data Model Training (in progress) ERM Query Development Status Open Access Report requests are being collected in the OA SIG Link (in progress) The test environment from the SIG Reporting will get the app OA (in progress) Test data will imported Recent FOLIO Forum on Open Access App Meetings are bi-weekly on tuesdays 11am ET alternating with RM Working Group Next meeting will be at 17th, Jan Contact Stefan Dombek if you would like to get a calendar invitation RM Working Group group is working with ERM group on RM-ERM FOLIO Data Model Training group worked on RM-related derived tables for Metadb and adding comments to columns for folio-analytics Nolana 1.5 release group will start working on RM-related derived tables for Orchid 1.6 release see RM Derived Tables to Convert from LDP to Metadb for latest query development updates, see RM Prototype and Query Development Status Meetings are biweekly on Tuesdays 11am-noon ET; contact Sharon Markus if you would like a calendar invitation Meeting Recordings are here: FOLIO ERM-RM Report Dev Teams Reporting SIG Documentation Subgroup Morning Glory documentation is live on https://docs.folio.org/docs/ Nolana documentation is in review Orchid documentation will be in progress soon, and plans are underway to include beta-level documentation for Metadb Additional Context The Reporting SIG has representation on the Documentation Working Group, which is building end-user documentation for https://docs.folio.org/docs/ (mostly linking to existing documentation over on GitHub) 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 (December 8 meeting) PC shared a report of the SIG check-ins would love for PC to check-in yearly For all recent work on FOLIO Reporting SQL development: https://github.com/folio-org/folio-analytics/commits/main
Topics for Future Meetings	All	How to deal with External Stats reports? maybe subteam leads check in about that probably wait until after Metadb conversion is more complete Exploring new recruitment/onboarding strategies (e.g., buddy system) More work on asynchronous collaboration, how to engage in discussions and question answering more broadly consider connecting discuss.folio.org with a Slack channel, to make sure any forum topics get highlighted on Slack as well? Open question: should we update FOLIO LDP1-based Reporting First Implementers Grid Cleaning up our wiki pages Monday, Dec 12: update on documentation of derived tables January: tips on querying date fields from Sharon and Joanne Review and update Topics for Future Reporting SIG Meetings
