- Working on a few DASH! bugs, want to be able to turn some features on/off (e.g. influences) for user reps to consider options
- How long to continue working on DASH! ? Tim and Huda to discuss what could be done by mid-July, discuss next week
- 2021-06-04 Discuss next week. A motivation for DASH! work is to have more to show to user reps in August. For bigger items perhaps show "paper" designs for feedback
- 2021-06-11 Tim and Huda had a meeting to discuss priorities and approach. Main concerns were showing user reps advancement in features and . Tim working on mockups on redesign; will not implement – but will present to user reps to decide which options. Not prioritizing anything functional at-present. Will make sure pages work well when there is not enough data on the page. Will put prototype in position that we feel more comfortable when people play with it. Concerned that if show same thing at user reps, will be unproductive... but question whether anyone will remember. With more robust prototype, hope will yield more of a decision. Tim does not have much time to work on this (2.5-3 weeks) – aiming for user rep meeting in August.

- Huda hasn't really worked much on DASH but plans on devoting 1.5 -2 weeks during July. (This should leave the rest for BANG!)

- Jamboard link
- Expect to include Works. Need to do something beyond what we already have live from the OCLC concordance data.
- Full OCLC concordance us 343M rows, and gzipped the file is 3.3GB
- SVDE Works
- 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
- 2021-04-02 Steven and Huda met to think about putting together queries to extract a similar dataset. (Document for recording queries). Open questions about the counts – got 16k works from one view, got about 8k where limited to case with at least one instance. These numbers are much much lower than expected
- 2021-04-16 Steven working with Dave on how to pull our SVDE data. Dave still working through some errors in ingest of SVDE data – this needs to be resolved before looking for concordance. Has asked Frances for 2015 concordance
- 2021-04-23 Waiting on indexing of PCC data, have learnt more about the basis for the old OCLC concordance file
- 2021-05-07 Steven didn't have much luck getting data from SVDE, learning GraphQL endpoint but also problems with timeouts there (HTTP 503)
- 2021-06-11: At impasse. new modeling is represented in GraphQL data but fuller data are in RDF. Need to talk to SVDE when have QA/Sinopia conversation. Asked for test data but unsure when we'll have it all. Could consider doing this via Stanford Institutional data - though not ideal. ACTION: Steven will ping Anna to inquire on existing thread
- What is the space of Work ids that we might use and their affordances?
- OCLC Work ids, SVDE Opus (Work), LC Hubs (more than Hubs), what else?
- Connections to instances, how to query, number
- 2021-05-07 ACTION - Huda to start analysis
- Other SVDE entities
- 2021-05-07 ACTION - Huda will reach out to Jim Hahn about entities other than Works represented in SVDE - DONE
- Summarized here: Jamboard link - U Penn Enriched Marc: Work Ids in 996 Field. 1.2 million with OCLC Work IDs in > 1 description. ~3.9 million with OCLC Work IDs in only one record.
- Publisher authorities/ids
- At Cornell we haven't tried to connect authorities with publishes
- LC working on connecting to publisher identifiers - utility is things also published by a publisher
- Also possible interest in series and awards
- 2021-04-23 Might be able to use LC publisher ids in BANG!, Steven will look at whether there is a dump available
- 2021-06-04
- To plan BANG! we need to think about what can be done with the available data. Perhaps take some concrete examples to consider what LC and SVDE data might give us, no longer sure what we could do with current OCLC works data (hope that entity work will provide new data later)
- What about providing users with better access using alternative labels etc. that might better match their expectations, including different languages via VIAF connections. Much of our catalog data around languages is very bad because we use roman transliterations based on LC rules that are not well sync'd with actual practices in other locales.
- Other possible datasets? Wikidata information is quite sparse (see jamboard). We get Syndetics ToC data for the catalog now, are there other structured data sources for ToC? Perhaps also look at wikicite – could suggest articles even if we don't generally have article level data. ACTION - Huda to ask Jesse whether there are any open structured datasets for ToC, even if much smaller.
- 2021-06-11
- Huda asked Jesse about open structured datasets.
- Huda reached out to Filip Jakobsen from Samhaeng; asked whether anything we can learn about use cases around people wanting to search across institutions to see what works exist (in ReSHARE capacity); Filip made two points: people do not benefit from looking at separate pages for Works and Instances (e.g.: conceptual distinction is not useful for users); users do not want multiple pages per institutions that has that work. If 35 instances that are same across institutions, they don't care for them to be separated. Context here is ILL – and wonder whether that would be true in local library's catalog. Filip had diagram that showed mapping b/t hubs and opi (opuses). ACTION: look at what works are and how would we map concrete examples... can you walk thru end-to-end representation of information for a few concrete examples.
DAG Calls- 2021-06-25
- Huda will ask Jesse again (but after or on July 1st) about other open structured datasets for table of contents information.
- Filip forwarded link to ReSHARE use cases/UX work: https://projects.samhaeng.com/1006/d/1001/ (documents links at various sections)

- Qa Sinopia Collaboration – Support and evolve QA+cache instance for use with Sinopia
- 2021-06-0411
- In User Stories for Sinoipia
- Continued discussions on Sinopia-QA/cache-ShareVDE. We focused mostly on the flows of data. I am moving towards identifying user stories that describe what needs to happen for each path for the flow of data. I've started capturing the user stories and questions about them in User Stories for Sinoipia-QA/cache-ShareVDE.
- In User Stories for Sinoipia-QA/cache-ShareVDE - 4 tabs: list of models being supported for this grant period, how to create new data, editing data, and summary of what is work remaining to meet workflows identified and agreed upon. Ideal: API with RDF. Adequate option: SVDE provides downloads and we cache those in Dave's system. Undesired: provide API that is not RDF and we're expected to connect to that. For dereferencing, similar options – ideal is they dereference and we can do via QA or Sinopia can connect directly. Either they provide dereference point or we do - 4 tabs: list of models being supported for this grant period, how to create new data, editing data, and summary of what is work remaining to meet workflows identified and agreed upon.

Next meeting is this coming Monday. We will continue discussing type of changes. Added a couple of working documents to explore Existing Change Management Approaches (including general discussions about what should be supported), Authority Data in MARC, and Technology, Standards, and Specifications. I reorganized the types25- Did an overview of containerization. Hoping to have discussions with SVDE about data sources and APIs. Want to answer both workflow questions (what we will support) and how we can do it (using technologies that are available now)
- 2021-06-0411
- Best Practices for Authoritative Data working group (focus on Change Management)
- 2021-06-11
- Continue to talk about types of change and what data goes with that. Key piece: challenges associated with doing this approach at all; related to the fact that it is linked data. If something more complex like BF where you have to traverse the graph, cannot just say what the new label is (for instance). Three audiences: full cache audience who wants everything. application audience who has only cached small subset of data who want minimal info with limited interaction to update cache. Humans who want focused interactions with change management.Humans who want focused interactions with change management.
- 2021-06-25
- Discussion shows that there is complexity in every type of change, because in RDF there is a flexible definition of boundary. Looking at the use of RDF*

- Cache Containerization Plan - Develop a sustainable solution that others can deploy
- Consider moving live QA instance from EBS to container version? Need to consider update mechanisms CI/CD. Agree that this is a good direction and Greg/Lynette will discuss
- 2021-06-22
- Lynette received from Dave what she needs to create a container. did not immediately work so needs to dig into it
- 2021-06-25
- Greg made some progress on containerization. Has a Jenkins job that can pull from github and deploy to the running service. This is key to replacing the ElasticBeanstalk version. Can now design the update process and then think about replace the beanstalk version
- Lynette will be working on this next week: firm up instructions for QA servers and getting containers for Dave's work
- Also need to think about LD4 conference presentation, week of July 19
- Consider moving live QA instance from EBS to container version? Need to consider update mechanisms CI/CD. Agree that this is a good direction and Greg/Lynette will discuss
- 2021-06-04
- Greg focused on FOLIO
