    • John notes that we already have a "best bets" autocomplete on our live catalog search (e.g. nature for Nature Journal or hours for library hours), this was previously disabled in our tests but we likely need some way to preserve best bets along with an enhanced autocomplete. Tim suggests that best bets might be a special category that shows top of the list
    • Tim working on getting real data in, Huda working on query matchings (including issues with period etc.), get main index set ip with data including variants, John continuing to look at packaging
    • Later - think of pseudonyms from wikidata, maybe VIAF
    • Pseudonym: some thoughts
  • Cataloging Sinatra and other 45's (Discogs data, https://github.com/ld4p/qa_server/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3ADiscogs)
    • Lookups for place not usable and hence places are not being recorded, relies on work from Dave to fix: https://github.com/LD4P/qa_server/issues/248 & https://github.com/LD4P/qa_server/issues/240
    • Have a currently insurmountable issue with nested profiles. When create Work profile with nested Instance profile there isn't a URI for the Instance (it just gets hung from a bnode). Without a URI the title of the Instance doesn't get indexed. The Sinopia team are unable to fix this in the near term.
    • 2020-03-20 not expecting progress in the near future 
  • Authority Lookups for Sinopia (Lookup infrastructure: https://github.com/LD4P/qa_server/projects/2, Authority requests: https://github.com/LD4P/qa_server/projects/1)
    • 2020-03-27 A couple of updates being put into production now: ISNI now available, Wikidata wasn't working properly because of a lack of response header which has now been added so that it plays nicely with Sinopia, also fix with CERL. Doing some infrastructure work to use Reddis for caching and avoid a memory leak issue, working with Greg to understand issues
    • 2020-04-03 Recently done: cleaned up and updated UBER Issue for Authorities (#253), UBER Issue for Indexing (#239), OCLC FAST cache vs. direct (Sinopia #2125), Use Case: Authority Lookup UI option in place of auto-complete (Sinopia #2123)
