A parking lot has been added to capture upcoming discussion topics: BDF Parking lot

Problems to solve:

Inconsistencies in record changes between Data Import, QuickMARC, Single Record Import are causing concerns about the ability to round-trip MARC into and out of FOLIO.  The addition of a bulk edit app and an authorities app in the near future will add performance concerns as well.

What are all of the data integrity or data flow issues?

  • Will proposed fixes solve this?

Longer-term:

  • Trust in FOLIO data integrity
  • Prepare FOLIO to meet its vision of bibliographic metadata beyond MARC

Required Participant Roles:

  • Metadata Management SIG convener or designees
  • Product Owners for Data Import, QuickMARC, Single Record Import, Inventory, or designees
  • Developer lead(s) or designee

Recommend to PC by :

  • Solutions to address immediate data integrity problems. Solutions can involve architecture, testing plans, development guidelines, Definition of Done, documentation, and analysis of SRS design/intended use, etc...  
  • Strategy to prevent data integrity issues from arising again.
  • Strategy to build trust in FOLIO SRS (and related) data integrity
