- 2020-12-04: on PoCo agenda for 1/14; more after that
- Steven consulted with Kevin Ford on how publication frequency is modeled in BF. This could lead to an added node... classic RDF math, with a layer of abstraction in order to provision for frequencies that change over time and/or need to be qualified with exceptions to the rule. Steven has reached out to LTS folks to see how we query the data in MARC to understand what useful queries would look like (there are 2 places for this data with some variants in our MARC data, not always up-to-date, shows as Frequency field in Blacklight (perhaps from 310 rather than 321, or 008))
- 2020-12-04: came up on Sinopia QA meeting – around Sinopia design principles (lookups happening using QA) but have entertained within-ontology property and class look-ups. Raises question of whether QA should afford ontology term look-ups. QA allows method of small set of look-ups - trivial to create. Can remove from agenda for next meeting.
- Default branch name - WAIT until we can use github tools January 2021
- Samvera community meeting this month.
- Discogs & 024s. Steven led 024 conversation among music catalogers
- how do we completely break the connection to Discogs? to ensure that a record in Blacklight with the wrong match to Discogs... and does not have a representation in Discogs...
- can check whether we have solved this issue for other external sources (e.g.: book covers, etc.). prioritizing 024 above the search... and also look for local field if there is a nodiscogs flag. We can wait to discuss this until the post-implementation assessment
- issue: dynamic database so a no match today may be a match tomorrow
- will code look for 024 before doing search? code has not yet been updated...
- how do we completely break the connection to Discogs? to ensure that a record in Blacklight with the wrong match to Discogs... and does not have a representation in Discogs...
