2018-06-28 Metadata Management Meeting notes

• Batch Loading Group
  • Over 100 sources of incoming acquisitions and bibliographic data have been identified.
  • Filip started adding to the meetings, helping with how the information will flow through the system.
  • Now the group is talking about specific data points.
  • Scope: MARC bibliographic, MARC Edifact, MARC Holdings, and delimited files. As the group works through each format, they will talk about matching/match points. What parts of FOLIO does that incoming record affect? How is data parsed? What happens in FOLIO with this data?
• MarcCat Subgroup
  • The group saw a demo of the search functionality of WeCat.
  • Tiziana will set up a test instance for the group to use.
  • The group will have regular meetings on Mondays.

There is a need and desire to manage holdings in MARC Format. Everyone sees a need to export holdings in MARC Format. The group would like to edit MARC Holdings in MARCcat. We would like to have a FOLIO MARC Holdings Storage, similar to the Bib Storage. These records need to be synchronized across stores. This should be optional.

Ann-Marie will need to add MARC Holdings to the scope of the Batch Loading Working Group. Is there a chance that libraries may want to use two types of holdings: FOLIO and MARC? The group generally thought both should be available at all times to all libraries. Michael from Germany, seconded this notion. Mary from Alabama commented that they use MARC Holdings for some materials at times, and do not use MARC Holdings for other types of materials. Lynn asked that we please comment on the document.
