  • 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
  • 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

      • 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
        • 2021-0304-05 02 Tim resolved a number of issues. Next week will return to work on this and deal with influence-for and influenced-by presentation2021-03-19 Tim still working on thishas implemented a D3 based graphical representation for Influenced by and influence for. Currently not limit to the number of related entities shown (e.g. many many influence-for for William Faulkner). When no examples shown the header is not shown, where there is no image (or not a png or jpg) then a circle is shown. Discussion:
          • Agreement that we should put a limit (perhaps 12) on the number of infleunced-by or influence-for entities, ideally with a count of total and link to show all
          • Debate about best way to show all for long lists
          • Suggestion that we need to make the data source plain because the data is debatable
    • Considering KPAOW zero (streamlined knowledge panels). Have begun discussing what should go in a streamlined version.
      •  Huda Khan Scheduled meeting with D&A reps April 9th, 9-10 (Moved the LD4P3 meeting to this time)
    • Usability testing for DASH
      • Getting ready for usability tests in April
      • Need to finalize usability tasks for both authors and subjects
      • 2021-04-02 - Four people responded to request and have scheduled tests for next week (Apr 7 & 9), will review entity pages
    • User reps D&A meeting: Need to re-follow up
      • Slides:
      • Good to have knowledge panel lite mockups or examples ready to show
      • Also need to show entity page examples
        • SVDE Works
          • 2021-03-19 Steven has looked at SVDE works and is thinking about how to find works via ISBN to then find other Instances. Is looking via SPARQL on Dave's ingested data
          • 2021-02-26 Have to develop SPARQL queries to pull out certain sorts of connected Work. Don't expect data to be very dense but do expect that we would get useful connections between print and electronic for example. We already have a link based on the OCLC concordance file from several years ago.
          • ACTION - Steven Folsom and Huda Khan to work on building an equivalent of the OCLC concordance file based on SVDE data and then do a comparison to see how they are similar and different
        • eResources
          • Discussion with small group regarding call number classifications on e-resources, where there is/isn't sufficient metadata compared to equivalent/related physical objects.  Possibility of gathering some useful examples around needs/wishes around e-resource discovery. 
          • 2021-03-26 - Other CUL staff met a couple of weeks ago. Examples where print and e-resource versions have differing metadata quality. Can we connect the resources better and/or copy metadata from one to the other? Has connection to our work to identify different versions. Nothing for LD4P3 to do until they have come up with appropriate examples

  • https://kula.uvic.ca/index.php/kula/announcement/view/1 .  Call for Proposals - Special Issue: "The Metadata Issue: Metadata as Knowledge".  Due January 31, 2021 (abstract 300-500 words).  Includes "The use of linked open data to facilitate the interaction between metadata and bodies of knowledge" and "Cultural heritage organization (libraries, archives, galleries, and museums) and academic projects that contribute to or leverage open knowledge platforms such as Wikidata"
  • LD4 Conference 2021 - proposals due April 30
    • Discovery - suggestion of discussion form 
    • Steven thinking something around shapes and compatibility and round trips
    • Lynette/Greg/Dave - containerization, should have documented product by then
    • Document for brainstorming (in case anyone wants to use it)
  • code4lib - Expecting to attend: Huda, Steven, Lynette, Greg
    • Great opening keynote about capturing of indigenous information connected to mapping, discussion of what information is shared or not. https://terrastories.io/
    • Steven notes everyone dealing with questions of sovereignty and a agency in building collections
    • Steven's Discogs poster at code4lib went well
    • Steven notes session on technologies to fix problematic terminology in upstream data sources and/or as an overlay/replacement strategy. There are at least 3 or 4 Blacklight implementation to replace "Illegal Alien" in discovery systems
