Peter presented information from the meeting specific to the MM SIG.
There was a lot of discussion in a breakout group from Resource Management about the codex and its interaction with other parts of the system. The work for the codex will move forward.
Sebastian said some sketches for locations were arrived at. The work of locations including three levels of hierarchy, with a fourth "bucket" were affirmed. What does creating a location, assigning it to a record look like are questions that need to be answered.
Charlotte and Cate will be doing some work UX and locations.
Lynn brought up issues of performance/response times. This will be under the purview of dev-ops. Lynn will share our spreadsheet with Wayne.
Cate and Jakub have been speaking with an Italian company that may be interested in creating a cataloging app.
Charlotte encourage members to view the MarcEdit video
Sebastian stated the intention will not be to maintain holdings and items data in MarcEdit. It is seen as a stop gap effort for version 1 of FOLIO, but not an end result.
Sebastian expanded on the Italian vendor, app-c? Their ILS is based on Amicus. They would like to move onto another platform. They would like to get involve and contribute to cataloging. They feel they have strong technology for that area. They are looking to take the cataloging interface they have and transplant it into FOLIO. That could be an option. It is not a firm committment yet. This would be an Open Source option.
Peter discussed his conversations with Terry. They spoke together about the FOLIO architecture and MarcEdit architecture. Within MarcEdit, the FOLIO database could be searched, edited, and uploaded.
The bookmark functionality in FOLIO can work with MarcEdit
Felix expressed two concerns 1) It is not open source 2) how can we edit bibliographic data that is not in MARC format? Which format is used in the inventory level in FOLIO? How does this work with a MARC editing tool? Peter answered that there can be many stores with different metadata types. If something is in Dublin Core, a Dublin Core editor will be needed, for example. Sebastian - Holdings/Item information is a separate app in FOLIO.
Charlotte showed this diagram which was part of one of the presentations in Montreal.
