Discovery (WP3)

  • https://github.com/LD4P/discovery/projects/2 for issues etc. 
  • Draft of a discovery plan: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zKYW7FQVVNvyd0XjjW0qWznX9PC3jbmOE6Kz_yygPjs/edit?usp=sharing
  • Strand 1: production piece 
    • Production requirements and functionality – Production decision points
    • Discogs data use - in production since January 2021
      • ACTION (sometime after March D&A sprint) - Tim to follow up on implementation and look at data from tracking use of the Discogs. There is an issue to start collection of data after the sprint by integrating the data collection in the sprint work, will need to wait long enough to have data to analyse
        • This should be moved off the ACTION list since it will be about fall before this is addressed
      • ACTION (during March D&A sprint): Tim Worrall will raise usability testing for D&A queue (don't carry forward in notes as now outside of LD4P)
        • 3/12: Will be raised in sprint next week
  •  Strand 2: research: how to go from knowledge graph to an index
    • Research decision points, Use cases 
    • First goal: DASH! dashboard (full page for entity) that extends on the idea of an embedded knowledge panel, aim to have functional prototype for end of year
    • DASH! (Displaying Authorities Seamlessly Here)
      • Dashboard design meeting kickoff notes - will also try to understand what our data will support or connections to other data sources
      • https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PgQi3xobsPhr9DUHU_YGeimL1OjNiiTdkiNWb36r3Gg/edit
      • 2021-01-29: Huda working to get scripts in place to populate index; bringing in period-O info; focused on locations with Wikidata URIs for consistency. Subject headings: script that takes-in components & breaks those out... and parses into timeline info. On Dave's fuseki, 34 distinct temporal terms with labels. Will finish today with actual index. Will break-down the loading to increase load speed
        • Reached out to IRB to ask about testing: if we want to disseminate results as research data, need to do IRB protocol; has a follow-up. Waiting to hear back but will submit protocol if no word. Simeon's interpretation of reply is that we are crossing line into research and the approval will likely be positive. Depending on how we describe what we're doing it either falls under research OR improving a product... but we're essentially doing research to improve a product so yes to IRB review.
          • ACTION ITEM: IRB did respond and say they wish us to proceed with sending in an application.  Huda will work on this and reach out with any questions if needed.
            • 2021-02-26 After some discussion and clarification there remain to submit details of consent forms, addition of potential interview and focus group questions, de-identification data, and compensation information
            • 2021-03-05 Huda sent more replies to IRB
            • 2021-03-12: Has been IRB approved (i.e. granted exemption)
            • This should be marked as DONE
      • 2021-02-19 Tim has been working on entity page. Notes a number of issues with the Historopedia timeline such as items with same date being hidden, but performance is good
        • 2021-03-05 Tim resolved a number of issues. Next week will return to work on this and deal with influence-for and influenced-by presentation
    • 2021-02-05
      • What would D&A user reps favor?
        • Concern that full KP linked from (info) button is too much
        • Is "KP-lite" on autosuggest a good route? We think users would find this valuable. Are there options that minimize index changes? 
        • What warrants a KP?
        • What is the redundancy between KP work and DASH!? Does dashboard mean a fundamental change or is just an enhanced KP?
        • We need to be aware of which options require significant indexing changes. There is already a sense that we want to add ids to the index
        • What about the open syllabus project? This relied on the open syllabus API, not sure whether it is available in LD. Essentially a mapping from domain→CSIP codes→ ISBN, very few wikidata connections
      • What would be the smoothest next step for production?
      • Which option would give us real linked data connections via URI?
      • Steven notes that LTS authorities in FOLIO group is looking at the insertion of URIs into MARC records (resources willing)
      • ACTION - Huda Khan Tim Worrall document options and implications as preparation for user reps presentation in order to get a steer on where to continue experimentation with a view to future implementation
        • Dashboard (perhaps for some entity types only)
        • Autosuggest with KP-lite
        • Regular facet with KP
        • Open syllabus related items
        • Brainstorming notes
        • 2021-02-12 Agreement that streamlined KP is a good starting point, with possibility of later extension to a full dashboard. Autosuggest and open syllabus good alternative options. 
        • 2021-03-12: Considering KPAOW zero (streamlined knowledge panels). Have begun discussing what should go in a streamlined version.
      • ACTION - Huda Khan to line up meeting with D&A user reps
        • 2021-03-05 Understanding that we aren't going to be asking for review of anything to be deployed before the FOLIO go-live. User reps are happy to provide us with guidance for ongoing development 
        • 2021-03-12: Huda emailed Lenora and others regarding setting up a User reps meeting, but will follow up again.
        • DONE: Scheduled for April 9th, 9-10 (Moved the LD4P3 meeting to this time)
    • Tim on ESMIS for next weeks, Huda working on IRB and also looking at dashboard with new version of historopedia which is much faster. Huda also looking at avenues for recruitment, have found out about student worker lists for Olin and for Mann, and grad carrel users list
    • Planning for discovery work
      • Work so far has focused on authorities and what we can do in catalog
      • How might we use BF modeling and data from SVDE? At DOG meeting on Monday there was discussion, also similar discussions in DAG about specific use of modeling
      • Next steps
        • Usability testing for DASH
          • Confirm gift card process with financial office
            • 3/19: Financial office waiting for their own IRB process (as they noted earlier).  Can still send out recruitment emails soon
          • Recruitment emails to be sent out next week
          • Should be able to tie up any development on author/subject by end of March, so considering first two weeks of April for scheduling tests
        • User reps D&A meeting: Need to re-follow up
          • Good to have knowledge panel lite mockups or examples ready to show
          • Also need to show entity page examples
