  • Best Practices for Authoritative Data working group (focus on Change Management)
    • 2021-10-29
      • Need a LD4 repo to hold context document.  Name: ld4/entity_metadata_management -- Entity Metadata Management
      • Looking at using github.io for the final documentation.
      • Considering rewriting the document in a format similar to the IIIF document.  It seems easier to read.
  • Cache Containerization Plan - Develop a sustainable solution that others can deploy
    • 2021-10-29
      • The plan for moving the containerization process forward state so far is...
        • DONE - Lynette will clean up the images in ECR
        • DONE - Lynette will get the github-actions deploying images.
          • DONE for the private repos.
          • DONE - Still working on the public repo.  I believe I have a solution but need to test it.
        • IN PROCESS - Lynette will update the env file to allow for initializers to draw their values from that file.
        • IN PROCESS - Greg can walk Lynette through setting up -int.  This should identify…
          • what can be done by a moderate privileged user and what has to be done by a sys opts user
          • make changes/additions to documentation as needed
          • Greg identified a way to make the copy authorities to EFS mount  a process of copying to S3  and then it will automatically copy to EFS 
          • Other potential customizations described in Issue #44
        • Lynette will move the templates to a new github repo
        • Lynette will setup -stg except where sys opts privileges are required to proceed.
      • Greg working on setting up different parts in public and private repos
      • Can containerized QA be available for testing before Stanford Sinopia work cycle finishes Dec 10? Think so. Lynette will reach out to Michelle to see what expectations are

Other Topics

  • Sinolio - Sinopia-FOLIO
    • 2021-10-22: Have not worked on the FOLIO tasks yet. Monday is the next sprint kick-off... and I am told that this sprint will have more FOLIO work.
  • OCLC Linked Data / Entities Advisory Group
    • 2021-10-22: There was a meeting this week. Libraries were invited to share their reactions to the work. Most folks mentioned it shows promise, and they look forward to being able to interact with it as an editor. The editor work should be shareable in November. Unlike VIAF (with is strictly machine generated), the entity data will be both batch created AND able to be edited by catalogers. Local Authorities could be a good use case. There were some discussions about integration with other tools (Sinopia, etc.)
  • PCC 
    • 2021-10-22 Some work to encode non-RDA examples in MARC, will be sent to LC for review
    • 2021-10-27 Definitions and examples continued to shift, but should be able to finalize the spreadsheet that generates the RDF today.
  • Authorities in FOLIO
    • 2021-10-15 Frances has database she is using for discovery. She has begun to successfully parse weekly Peter Ward files and updating her database. will then test whether that database can serve as source. Meeting every-other-week. Nick is investigating creating a GUI rather than spreadsheets; question about how much to invest, given that this would be a local solution and no other libraries are identified yet to do work this way.
    • 2021-10-29 Met this week, Frances thinking about data model for activities/events in order to support GUI. Steven watching possible shift in goals from spreadsheets to app development and how that might affect timeline
