TSI Steering Group
December 2, 2013
Present:
Jim, Boaz, Adam, Jason Kovari, Gary Branch
Kate, Robert, Melanie Wacker, Mark Wilson
1. Non-Marc Metadata WG
Discussion of Phase 2 charge:
Kate will ask permission for Robbie Blitz (Columbia) to participate.
Jason: Make correction: Change 2CUL governance agreement (expected Dec. 20, 2013) to anticipated.
Kate: underscored centrality of Alma in the environmental scan.
Jim: Be mindful of the net payoff of working together, as their group works from item to item.
Kate: make the documentation you create portable until a shared space is in place.
Priorities?
Jason: Developing a 2CUL framework is more difficult than environmental scan. Bringing Columbia into our MWG series is easy.
Melanie: Standards type activities are ongoing.
Jason: Correct timeline in charge.
Tools usually involve other stakeholders at both institutions.
[Boaz's] summary: a) Money. Is it department of 2CUL? b) How involved is liaison? c) who should be involved in group, how wide should it be?
2. Batch Processing WG
Discussion of Phase 2 charge:
Gary Bertchume is working on facets in Blacklight. Steven Folsom is our staff member working on that project.
Mark: Blacklight is a bit removed from the batch processing unit at Columbia. Unsure how it fits into the scope of phase 2 for this WG.
Priorities?
Mark: #5 might be a good one to start on: Make a joint data map/dictionary of terms and MARC fields used in conjunction with record identifications for extracts between the two CULs.
Mark: Maybe jointly we can start being more flexible about what kind of files we accept. Also, maybe we can start distributing some of the work across both institutions.
Gary: Maybe we could use common scripts.
Jim: Documenting what is cost effective to integrate and what is not is a critical finding of the 2CUL TSI research.
Kate: Please include CJK staff involved in the work. You may add a member if that is appropriate.
