Attendees:  Huda, Greg, Simeon, Jason, Steven

Regrets: 

Discovery (WP3)

  • https://github.com/LD4P/discovery/projects/2 for issues etc. 
  • Research: how to go from knowledge graph to an index
  • BANG! (Bibliographic Aspects Newly GUI'd)
    • 2022-10-06 - Video almost done
  • BAM! WOW! (Browsing Across Music With Obtainable Wikidata)  
    • 2022-09-29
      • Met with Tracey and Kevin (Stanford) to discuss thematic catalogs and Wikidata. Notes: 

        https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rYz48f-vRW-DPg_3xu33uxp0F_gVFpnYtgX0j0pE-u8/edit

        • Takeaways: 
          • Useful to display music catalog codes and cross-references for musical works. Can start with use cases in document.  Additional area of interest is translations (Stravinsky works use Russian uniform titles while many will try to search with French and English titles first and then go to Russian).  
          • Considering interviewing or talking with music students to better understand which use cases might be of interest
          • Asked if order within the catalog matters but it didn't seem to. We're still curious
          • Order of thematic  catalog might be important (i.e. we may want to show code from a particular catalog first)
            • Simeon: Could identify which thematic catalogs are of interest in our prototype and start there
      • Knowledge panels: Could use that as a pattern to bring in more info about works, or use the BANG! pattern with a dedicated work page.  Could try both of those out.
      • Searching by catalog code? Simeon: Would need a fielded search to be effective. 
        • Currently, thinking this may need more work to define how this (areas of concern:
    • 2022-10-06 
      • Have mostly been working on Blacklight Summit
      • Tracy and Beth have started capturing data on Vivaldi
  • DAG Calls
    • 2022-10-06: Have nothing planned for next week! (Except if the folio metadata people are ready, otherwise we might cancel). National Library of Sweden's up for the second session in October!

Linked-Data Authority Support (WP2)

  • Qa Sinopia Collaboration - Meetings with Stanford will only occur on an as needed basis. Authority request issues: https://github.com/LD4P/qa_server/projects/1 (prioritized based on "important" authorities and ease of completion)
    • 2022-10-06
      • Greg and Steven have been working with Dave on new LOC Countries authority. Still running into problem that the cache is crashing, need more guidance from Dave
      • Yesterday Steven got a request for a change of context, result of PCC meeting last week
  • Best Practices for Authoritative Data working group (focus on Change Management)
    • 2022-10-06 
      • No meeting next week. Steven working to organize remaining issues
  • Containerizing the QaServer - DONE
    • 2022-08-04 Greg digging in to terraform as a potential replacement for cloudformation, not ready to move yet!
    • 2022-09-15 Still exploring, have only tried baby steps so far. Need to focus on current system first
  • Containerizing the Cache Indices
    • 2022-07-21 : No progress. Have not heard anything from Dave; Jason will ask him at Monday's PI meeting to respond to Greg
    • 2022-08-04 There wasn't a PIs meeting so haven't yet checked with Dave

Other Topics

  • Catalogers working on LD4P effort(s), namely around music
    • 2022-08-12 Jason discussed cataloging work with Tracey and she is confident that they will have data by the end of 2022, they are going to focus on Vivaldi. MLA folks on wikidata project feel comfortable with that timeline. Will check in again in October
  • POD & SHARE-VDE... should this team interact with that re: use cases, data analysis or other?
    • 2022-09-15: Tech services reps from Columbia, Cornell, Penn, Stanford and Yale met to outline work. Will be acclimating ourselves to both SVDE and POD in coming weeks; once we better understand the state of things, will better define use cases. Casalini expects it to take a few months to set up the SVDE instance for POD.
  • Sinolio - Sinopia-FOLIO
    • Possibly next work cycle toward end 2022
  • Entity Management in FOLIO
    • 2022-10-06: Planning meeting earlier in the week, first group meeting is today
  • CUL Authorities in FOLIO
    • 2022-10-06 Stable at this point. Frances has made changes as a result of feedback. Julia using OpenRefine for spreadsheet transformations. Think this work now and Mary Campany is handling regular updates. Expect to talk through URIs in MARC at next meeting
  • BIBFRAME Interoperability Group (BIG) - Steven Cornell rep and Jason alternate
    • 2022-10-06 Had demo from National Library of Sweden; Library of Congress, OCLC, the Share Virtual Discovery Environment (SVDE), and Stanford University created a list of interoperability Use Cases in December 2021 and BIG is now creating a list of add-on use cases important to a functioning ecosystem that allows for editing/linking to/caching/etc. of BIBFRAME data.
