- Qa Sinopia Collaboration – Support and evolve QA+cache instance for use with QA
- 2021-04-02:
- No meetings this week for QA/Sinopia this week.
- Dave and Lynette met to talk about remaining issues. Dave made progress on some a Lynette looking into a label issue on the QA side. Open questions about MeSH that Dave is looking into
- Plan to do before and after comparison to discuss before moving into production
- Lynette will give an update on this work package for the partner meeting; have suggested that Sinopia team will give update on UI side
- Released to production the new indexing scheme. This release cleans up all tests with known failures marked as pending. Added in a few UI improvements to remove inactive authorities from the Monitor Status page, adjust the threshold for marking an authorities uptime as concerning, and on the Check Status page show a dogear for pending accuracy tests.
- In the weekly meeting, we identified the ShareVDE/PCC data interactions as a topic for the larger group in the quarterly meeting next week. We also discussed potential topics around lookup enhancements. The following topics would be discussed in the weekly Qa/Sinopia meeting.
- compare list of priorities identified in the working group with what’s available now in Sinopia
- review Astrid’s mockups and compare with Sinopia current UI
- discuss and prioritize additional UI improvements
- discuss which authorities are supported and whether we should be looking at additional authorities
- In ShareVDE meeting, it was highly focused on the needs of the Stanford team.
- Did meet!
- PCC Data status in ShareVDE
- What are the remaining questions we should focus on with ShareVDE to make possible round tripping with SharevDE?
- Dave cached the data but trying to make direct connection with GraphQL. Challenge = test data and so small subset. Don't know what performance issues and other challenges may appear once the full dataset is available.
- Meeting on Monday with ShareVDE.
- Stanford (Vivian) forwarded questions to ShareVDE
- Trying to get indexing system into production.
- 2021-04-02:
- Search API Best Practices for Authoritative Data working group
- 2021-04-02
- Interest in group heavily skewed toward cataloger/curator side, hoping to get more from authority providers and developers
- Will also reach out to AGROVOC because their structure is strong and easy to work with, they handle languages very well. Results lack ranking however
- Expect to solidify membership next week and then schedule meetings
- Membership is complete with 14 members. Producers include LOC, OCLC, MeSH, ShareVDE who have an interest in the creation of change management documents. Dave is joining the group to represent the needs of downstream consumers of change management documents. There is a poll out to determine the date of the first meeting.
- Up to 13 members!
- Good representation on producer side. Still waiting on word from OCLC. ISNI not participating.
- Yeses: LOC, ShareVDE, MeSH
- Dave participating from developer side

- Cache Containerization Plan - Develop a sustainable solution that others can deploy
- 2021-03-26
- Greg and Lynette have been working together on documenting the deployment to AWS and this has been very useful in uncovering missing things. Greg found that he needs to make sure AWS actions can be performed by a less powerful user
- Greg has discussion containerization of cache infrastructure. Greg has some tasks to help with
2021-04-02 - Lynette notes mimemagic issue with Rails that derailed (pun intended) much
- Greg had to work around issues with env file that connected container to wrong DB, not yet sure of scope of the problem created
- Continuing work on documentation and permissions
- Have given Dave and empty container as a starting point for him to start work when ready, don't expect this yet What will it take to get the indexing process containerized? For LCNAF this will take significant resources, incremental updates will be important. Should perhaps start small to get the process going for something small (e.g. RDA registry). Would be good to start working on this.

- Greg: Working on permissions issue. Need to rethink approach.
- Need certain amount of permissions to create whole suite, including ability to create permissions. Somewhat circular.
- Considering breaking permissions out into a separate piece.
- Create these for yourself or give to admin to install for you
- If using admin permissions, do not need this piece. Not recommended.
- Goal: granular set of permissions recorded in document.
- Greg: Working on permissions issue. Need to rethink approach.
