Actions from 2021-01-08 Cornell LD4P3 Meeting notes

  • Jason Kovari will continue functional requirements efforts, starting with workflow diagramming and outlining environment
    • 2021-01-15: started working on this task; hope to have something to demo/discuss next week

Agenda

Discovery (WP3)

  • https://github.com/LD4P/discovery/projects/2 for issues etc. 
  • Draft of a discovery plan: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zKYW7FQVVNvyd0XjjW0qWznX9PC3jbmOE6Kz_yygPjs/edit?usp=sharing
  • Strand 1: production piece 
    • Production requirements and functionality – Production decision points
    • Implementation work
      • 2021-01-15 D&A spring has started, Tim has moved Discogs code into codebase. Has removed call via QA to go directly to Discogs. Now in integration environment. Need to sort out ack/disclaimer with user rep feedback, perhaps technical information link
  •  Strand 2: research: how to go from knowledge graph to an index
    • Research decision points, Use cases 
    • First goal: DASH! dashboard (full page for entity) that extends on the idea of an embedded knowledge panel, aim to have functional prototype for end of year
    • DASH! (Displaying Authorities Seamlessly Here)
      • Dashboard design meeting kickoff notes - will also try to understand what our data will support or connections to other data sources
      • https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PgQi3xobsPhr9DUHU_YGeimL1OjNiiTdkiNWb36r3Gg/edit
      • 2021-01-08 Huda has worked on DCP connection, Tim has been working on agents leveraging past work on knowledge panels to pull in LC data. Will move some calls into the server side. Greg has worked on moving Solr instances from original location into Solr cloud which will allow to retirement of a VM with EOL OS
      • 2021-01-15 Demo from Huda
        • Will spend next week finishing up prototype (add show all on timeline, etc.)
        • Question of whether it is best to have "details" link to follow broader/narrower, or just link the label. Question of distinguishing search (usual BL link) or go to entity
        • Comparing page for "Biology" in current interface and demo we see issue with handling large numbers or narrower terms (need "more" or similar), and also would be good to include "works about #" for each term
        • Huda brainstorming how to test: DOCUMENT LINK
        • What is this page called from a user perspective? Perhaps "subject page", "entity page" (maybe user doesn't know of entities), "bobble head" (because you put it on your dashboard)
  • Discover Affinity Group
    • DAG recordings are going to Drive, problems with ownership and quotas
    • ACTION - Jason & Simeon to talk about LD4 spaces going forward
