2018-10-05 - System Operations and Management SIG Agenda and Notes

• Note taker: Ingolf

 Please watch Anton's presentation to the Product Council on the FOLIO Quality Dashboard for Q3 Release .

Room for questions from the group.

Notes

Anton: We can change or add some sections. We now focus on the UI-testing; the backend code tests are decent, with a high code coverage.

UI-testing will be built on tools, taking advantage of automated unit tests.

Acceptance testing has to be done before integration into the solution.

Testing should not have to wait for a stable environment. We need to get an environment for testing quicker.

Harry's slide deck on OAI-PMH.

Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting.

A service for querying bibliographic type records over HTTP. Used for harvesting. In fairly heavy use. Use cases: harvesting of a catalog;

Will be implemented in FOLIO as interface to the discovery service. FOLIO team will implement the service, not the harvester. A FOLIO OAI harvester is not a target of the project. (harvester will live on the side of the discovery system).

Will be a ramp-up project for one of the development teams.

Q: What is the difference to Z39.50 ? A: z39.50 can be used in a similar manner, but is an older standard. OAI-PMH delivers XML documents.

The FOLIO OAI-PMH service will serve discovery systems EDS, Primo, Blacklight, VuFind et.al.

First goal: retrieval from mod-marc-storage. Configuration of interface:

• repository name
• collections
• conversion of MARC to DC.

OAI-PMH always delivers at least oai_dc format (minimal dublin core), and can be configured to deliver many other formats.

Product Owner of the FOLIO OAI-PMH project will be Harry. Other POs: Dennis Bridges (Stacks), Ann-Marie Breaux

Technical Lead: Craig McNally.

The project will be an Edge Model, needs an Edge API to support it (needs confirmation).

Team Thunderjet - draft plan: Sprint 48 (onboarding) ... Sprint 53 (Acquisition features)
