2019-09-12 Metadata Management Meeting notes

Individual Apps - Information, Tips, and Tricks

We can all add to this documentation and will be encouraged to. Template on main page. Expect a general announcement from PC soon. This will possibly be helpful for the documentation technical writer in future, but can also be helpful for the community now. Some concerns expressed around consistency and divergent styles if this is crowd-sourced.

Capacity Planning, Summary of Institutions Responses to MVP Recommendation, Cap Planning Responses, Changes to MVP, etc: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19j98iCQs41xIUXLJyArvcZwTKWuCMlZflKYkCHHwdAM/edit#gid=1273956550

Capacity Planning Team is willing to meet with SIGs next week to discuss any non-mvp issues we feel strongly about. Laura will not be here next week: anyone available/willing to lead a discussion with Cap Planning? What issues?

Update: This was the monthly PC meeting that included SIG conveners. Karen Newbury, convener of SIG leaders group talked at the meeting. She wanted to encourage people use pages to record notes/best practices/"how to" A technical editor is still going to be hired. The implementation SIG wanted to start gathering this information.

Laura - Not sure if they wanted people to contribute immediately. Laura suggested waiting a few days. Dracine said Peter and/or Karen will contact us when they are ready for us to contribute.

Dracine - SIGs gave updates. Reporting SIGs are asking for help from institutions from people who can write queries. Resource Management had a demo from Chalmers at their last ERM meeting. Looked at ERM packages. Resource Access - Looking at display issues related to bound-with. User Management SIG has created backlog of what they need to discuss. 

Discussion of MVP - updates. See spreadsheet linked above. There are 4 tabs. 

Laura - Starting in January, project will shift as people start to implement. Kristin Martin recommended we discuss this at WolfCon. 

Export working group: Scope of export will be limited to Inventory and Source Record Storage only. Talked about how libraries identify records that they want to export. Group is meeting today, 2:00pm E.S.T. Export will include bibliographic, holdings, items, not authority at this point.

In the future Export will include MarcCat. Ann-Marie said we need to consider if there is something to be gained from MarcCat export, vs. export directly from the SRS. May or may not be a need. (Administrative data?)

Data import demoed at Sprint Review updates that have been made in MARC to Instance map. Developed mappings were initially developed some months ago. After testing, 15 or so updates were identified. They are mostly fixed in this update. 

Changes are listed in spreadsheet. Ann-Marie demonstrated the changes in FOLIO.

Charlotte feedback: If there is no value, should FOLIO insert a dash, or should the element be simply un-populated. Laura - like dash - helpful. Mary Alexander would prefer a blank field. Jacquie - How does this reflect reporting? Charlotte - this will have no implication for reporting.  Jacquie - having a character is OK, but respect other's opinions. Charlotte - when there is no data, should the element label even be displayed at all? 

Either - no data, don't show label, or do show label, but do have a dash to represent a blank field. (Charlotte)

Christie - Noted that there are a lot of empty fields on records in Chicago's working version. This causes confusion when looking for information. The screen does still "jump" around due to different lengths of values.  Christie and Jen both spoke for having more UX import in the Inventory/ Instance record.

Charlotte suggested having collapsed accordions set at the institutional level. 

Group expressed the desire to be able view the Inventory record in full screen. Tiziana expressed the desire to have this functionality in MarcCat as well.
