Attendees: Huda, Steven, Greg, Jason, Simeon

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)
    • 2022-12-15 (no change since last week)  
      • Draft for lessons learned - Steven added additional thoughts on 2022-12-07, unless Huda has more to add, this is complete.
      • Documentation for scripts for data analysis forthcoming – Huda has started
      • Would be good to get this wrapped up next week
  • BAM! WOW! (Browsing Across Music With Obtainable Wikidata)
    • 2022-12-15
      • Huda working to refine "work info" additions and author pages, tweaking labels etc.. Good examples for Vivaldi works where Tracey's group is adding information
      • Have tests starting on Monday, 2 people. Might have others the first week of January
      • Will review tasks with Steven tomorrow
  • DAG Calls
    • 2022-12-15 - Last meeting of the year with "state of the AG" on Tuesday

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)
    • 2022-12-07
      • 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.
    • 2022-12-15
      • Steven (with help from Justin L.) able to identify PCC Template lookups
        • Completed a table including the lookup, LC's API if applicable, QA Direct Lookup if available, how often the data changes, and other thoughts when there was a unique issue with a lookup.
        • Wondering if next step is to try to identify highly used templates (not limited to PCC) so that we can better understand the demand for lookups. Decision yes.
        • TODO
          • Add a section for non-PCC lookups that are highly used.
          • Add approximate size of each dataset.
  • Best Practices for Authoritative Data working group (focus on Change Management)
    • 2022-12-15 
      • Need some wordsmithing on order recommendation
      • Steven will work on discussion about dates
  • Containerizing the QaServer - Initial work done, still exploring migration from CloudFormation to Terraform
    • 2022-12-15 Greg imagines change from CloudFormation to Terraform provisioning would be the next step if we want to move forward with this. We have no problem running QAServer on CloudFormation in its current state. Not clear how much of the rough edges would be cleaned up by moving to Terraform, might take a coupe of work-weeks to complete. DECISION - Won't plan to move to Terraform now
  • Containerizing the Cache Indices
    • 2022-11-17 No plan to move on this at present

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
    • 2022-10-27: They are joining for summit. Little to report at present otherwise.
  • CUL Inclusive Descriptive Practices Task Force
    • 2022-12-07 Discussion of use of Homosaurus in RMC and perhaps more generally. Have considered terms that match LCSH and where there are differences, which include many splits from LCSH to Homosaurus
