2024 Discovery API Improvements 

Agenda

  • Discovery outreach
    • Are we a SIG? Should we submit to monthly SIG report?
      • Goal is to make ourselves more visible/part of the FOLIO conversation at a higher level.
      • Half our subjects are technical, while the other half are user-centered/practical (both what and how)
      • Currently part of the Sys Ops SIG. Latest meeting notes.
        • Might not be the best match, we do not report to Sys Ops.
      • 2024-11-07 Product Council Agenda and Meeting Notes
      • Action Item: Write a draft charge. Marie will start, others invited to start if they have time.
        • If we become a SIG, will follow SIG direction to reorder documentation.
    • Should we do topic meetings?
      • Discovery and Resource Access (aka patron empowerment)
      • Discovery and Linked Data
      • Discovery and Serials, Bound-Withs, and other complicated records.
      • Prioritizing Development in Discovery: How do I get my feature developed? 
        • Could be good first step for the SIG, would need to decide on time and structure on each topic.
  • Any additional steps for listed improvements?
    • VuFind 2024 Summit Roadmapping Session
      • FOLIO driver improvements, including loan type service points
    • EDS - Customize column labels
      • We would love a set of pre-determined label options: Like Shelf mark vs Call number, Status vs Availability, Holdings info vs Holdings statement, etc. Anyone care to provide comment and suggestions?
        • Current: Status: | Due date: | Loan Type: | Location: | Call Number:
    • I added a few more Jira tickets, including MODINVSTOR-1266
    • How do we prioritize our Jira tickets? Ongoing conversation at Product Council right now, different SIGs are working on how to do this.
      • All POs are worried about a long tail of old unresolved tickets.
      • As a SIG, we can adopt tickets, can help clarify ticket or remove ticket from que.
      • Tickets are often bound to one module, lack of overview of connected tickets. We could also help link tickets, create epic tickets.
