Christie's update on progress in the MM group on the gap analysis:
For this review they formed 2 subgroups: Instances and Holdings & Items
They'll finish this analysis during their last meeting today (7/9/18)
They created two new columns on the 'gaps' tab:
MM Sig Review (for comments)
Priority (Most ended up being 'go-live', 'not needed', or need further discussion with other SIGs)
They will be recommending a new element that was heavily discussed during this meeting:
'Statistical Search Code' – a repeatable element applicable to any instance, holding or item record
They found many different uses for this across institutions
We wondered about the impact to development
How is this element different than tags? → tabs won't be viable for high confidence reporting. The understanding is tags will be more organic and not something for high confidence reporting.
If there could be be 'reserved' tags that have an additional layer of control...that might work.
The imagined using this field for things like reporting, counting...they need to have a count of titles based on type and items based on type. (just as an example).
The data structure doesn't support things we need to know about our data. The Statistical Search Code remedies this.
