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.



Next meeting

Tuesday at 10:00 am EST, Nov 26. Working meeting to prepare/discuss SIG draft.
