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)
    •  2022-11-17
      • Countries have been pushed to production
      • ACTION ITEM: Steven to spend time thinking about how to minimize QA footprint/commitments for lookups needed by the Sinopia/PCC Users. What lookups should use the QA direct option? What lookups should use data provider APIs? (LOC data). What lookups aren't currently being used in Sinopia. How do we think about stale caches?
    • 2022-12-07
      • Steven is still working on plan to use non-cached lookups. Struggling a little to get a list of just the PCC template lookups.
      • Trying to wade through MESH related issues.
        • Was asked about possibly renewing the cache in January when the 2023 update is available. Trying to encourage direct API usage. E.g. https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/swagger/ui
        • Made pull request in Sinopia for MESH subauths already in QA but not yet available in Sinopia.
  • Best Practices for Authoritative Data working group (focus on Change Management)
    • 2022-12-07 Working through issues of order types of change.
      • Re: order, we are being less opinionated about direction, but ask data producers to choose one direct and stick with it.
      • Re: types of changes, trying to decide whether to take minimal
  • Containerizing the QaServer - Initial work done, still exploring migration from CloudFormation to Terraform
    • 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
    • 2022-11-17 No recent progress

Other Topics

  • POD & SHARE-VDE... should this team interact with that re: use cases, data analysis or other?
    • 2022-11-17: started working on use cases for the assessment since POD does not seem to have any actionable use cases – just interest areas.
  • Sinolio - Sinopia-FOLIO
    • Possibly next work cycle toward end 2022; with LC now in FOLIO-land; how will MARVA be integrated?
    • 2022-10-27 - No news on possible work cycle
  • Entity Management in FOLIO
    • 2022-12-07 - Continuing work on use case deep dive + environmental scan
  • CUL Authorities in FOLIO
    • 2022-11-17 Still planning how to add URIs to MARC, strategizing automated changes to bibs (e.g. closing dates) that are automatable, will accelerate getting through the backlog and inform adding URIs process. 
    • 2022-12-07 Piloting adding URIs for firm orders using MARCEdit and batch processing during authority maintenance processes. If successful, will expand to other workflows (including documentation and reflecting in procedures)
  • BIBFRAME Interoperability Group (BIG) - Steven Cornell rep and Jason alternate
