- Given increasing concerns about data privacy, is data anonymization on the roadmap and how will it work?
- Support for more granular permissions has been added in Metadb 1.4: see https://gist.github.com/nassibnassar/9e8e63383db1dac0634b0cf371254dec
- There is some loan anonymization functionality in FOLIO settings and there are plans to do the same for Requests
- Is metadb anonymization being developed with that interdependence in mind, or is it going to be an independent feature?
- Will there be a feature to turn off the historical row creation for Metadb (as you can for LDP)?
- Will there be a feature to make patron identifiers (e.g., user_id, requester_id) NULL in historical rows?
- If we need to recover from our data anonymization processes, what will be required and what are our losses?
Should we take snapshot of the database every time we run update scripts to anonymize data by replacing patron identifiers with NULL?
- What is in the zzz_ tables in Metadb? e.g., zzz___loan__t___
- If we need to recover from our data anonymization processes, what will be required and what are our losses?
Is there a way to turn off the collection of historical data that is sensitive in Metadb?
Nassib says this has not yet been developed
