11:04Start of the meeting

11:05Election of the convener
Since the was no other volunteer Uwe Reh was confirmed in this role.
11:06Self introduction of the attendees and their
interest/wishes/needs
In Summary there was a great deal of interest in having full featured and recommended interfaces for 'patron empowerment', 'availability and other item information' and 'data export of the inventory'.
Beside this common interest nearly all attendees had a different situation at their institution and a different personal background. (Note: this spread will be a great source for the further process.)
11:30Free discussion on the purpose of the group and on ways to reach them.

For the above stated needs, FOLIO provides already APIs. (edge_oai, edge_patron, edge rtac)
In the discussion it was obvious, that there is a need to improve/extend these modules. It seems to be the consensus that three work teams should collect demands to discuss them later with the POs.

Just three obvious examples:

  • edge_oai should support marc as export format
  • edge_patron needs to work with human readable IDs
  • edge_rtac should support more details e.g. license information for online resources
