How would FOLIO like to model the circulation of CDL proxies for print items.

We are preparing a report looking at building CDL functionality for FOLIO. Part of this work will look at the relationship between a CDL subsystem and the discovery and circulation subsystems of a host Library Management System.

Our approach to CDL has been to try to identify the different use-cases and understand the parts of the system which can be configured with policy settings to adapt to different local requirements.

In summary, CDL involves the library providing a digital proxy for print items in inventory. Patrons are then granted access to the digital proxy under condition that the physical item is removed from circulation.

We are interested in the RA SIGs thoughts on how best to model the circulation part of the process. Although We have some specific questions, it seems like a general discussion about the approach is the place to start?
