Training
- Training/Information on customizing LDP/Metadb for your own institution, such as integrating your own repository in the data warehouse, integrating your own tables, integrating other data sources, etc.
Build a series of introductory training videos focused on learning the FOLIO data model in different functional areas and how FOLIO data can be queried in LDP1/Metadb (Build Training Program for FOLIO Data Model) -
- Transitioning from LDP to Metadb - keep training, and important for institutions to move to Metadb in January 2024
- More Metadb Training - implementing, using, etc.
- Develop Reporting App training
Development
Review completeness of porting all LDP1 derived tables to versions that work for Metadb (Port LDP1 derived tables to Metadb)
Add comments to metadb tables
Continue to build query cookbook-style documentation in the FOLIO Analytics wiki
Community
- Ask institutions to share their experiences implementing different kinds of reporting solutions
- Discuss use of Reporting App
- Encourage community feedback on use of various reporting solutions, e.g., LDP, LDPLite, Metadb, Reporting App, Knime, BI, CloudBeaver, Lists, etc.
- Creating a detailed overview (matrix or document) of the various reporting options:
- Look at multiple layers for each reporting option
- Datasource, e.g. FOLIO
- How are the data collected? E.g. with Metadb
- Database, e.g. POSTGRES
- Possibility of data presentation, e.g. connection to third-party software (Tableau, Knime, Crystal Reports etc.)
- Look at multiple layers for each reporting option
- Creating a detailed overview (matrix or document) of the various reporting options:
- Establish a regular schedule of recruitment for new SIG members (Recruit from new institutions not represented)
- Establish a quarterly schedule of outreach for reporting activities (e.g., FOLIO Forum presentations, WOLFcon presentations, direct communication with community members and institutions)
- maybe each development group can go to SIGs and give update/presentation on Metadb, LDP Reporting App, LDLite, query repositories (maybe a few times a year)
- Define what we are doing - what is in scope, what is out of scope; build a shared understanding of what the Reporting SIG goals are and communicate that clearly
- Could have subgroups come up with mission statements, share those with the Reporting SIG
- Could arrange a conversation in SIG meetings to hear everyone's thoughts on participation, roles, etc.
