      • GitHub issues
      • 2021-09-24: Huda emailed Lenora again and mentioned option for folks to email her feedback directly.  Have not heard back yet (sent email yesterday)
      • 2021-10-01: Last email discussion: Lenora said she would try to get feedback from user reps.  We have requested feedback by 10/11 since the next D&A spring starts 11/1. 
    • 2020-10-1: Separately, need to finish documentation of work done so far and set up demo video.
  • BANG! (Bibliographic Aspects Newly GUI'd)
    • Jamboard link
    • Expect to include Works. Need to do something beyond what we already have live from the OCLC concordance data.
    • 2021-10-01: Experimented with various queries.  For retrieving sets of related ISBNS, queried for following relationship: An opus that has two separate works, where each work has an instance with an ISBN.  Parsed the results to create a CSV where each line starts with an ISBN and is followed by all the others related ISBNS (based on the query above).  Set up front-end code that takes ISBN from catalog, looks for any line with that ISBN and returns the entire set, then does an ISBN field "OR" query to the Solr index to return any matches with their titles. 
      • Questions to explore:
        • What is the goal of an Opus? And is this conceptually useful for users?
        • What is the data quality (both of the Opus data and connection via ISBN)?
        • What is the gap in data for CUL?
        • What is a good UI for display of this data? And should there be different UI for translations vs. based on, etc.?
      • Next steps: Huda will look for more specific relationships in the data (e.g. LCCN matching). Huda/Tim to explore UI options. Also look for definitions of opuses and hubs
    • 2021-10-08:
      • Steven: I began to gather properties in the PCC data for different instances of the same work. Shared with Huda, and will work to fine tune it next week. Re: PCC non-RDA Entities, the spreadsheet is almost ready to send to Kevin for feedback; we're mostly working on examples to help clarify the scope/range of our definitions. 
  • DAG Calls
    • 2021-10-1: Next two meetings will be usability/user research focused: 10/12 with LINCS, 10/26 with Harvard image research/IIIF D4H user research.

  • Qa Sinopia Collaboration – Support and evolve QA+cache instance for use with Sinopia
    • 2021-10-01 - Met with Stanford with topics...
      • some weirdness in results (e.g. '\\' for label, bad response total leading to no pagination)
      • language in literals (e.g. "milk@en" instead of "milk"@en) - Dave updated this on his end.  Requires an update in QA.
      • review status of authorities (e.g. script, cultural heritage)
      • new authority request for publisher cities - Jim Hahn will provide a QA compatible file of cities to include (historically this is just a literal so there hasn't been a good lockup/authority)
  • Best Practices for Authoritative Data working group (focus on Change Management)
    • 2021-10-01 - Need to update Appendices based on last week's discussion.  Need to review object type proposals from Steven and Vitus.
      • We'll need to decide how much the RWO/Authority/RDF document distinction made in the ActivityStreams spec we want to adhere to.
      • Steven will look at how the Getty and LOC implementations of AS are dealing with this.
    • 2021-10-08 Steven: This week I worked with Lynette to clarify the concern with RWOs; I wrote something up, that took into account what LOC and Getty are doing, while trying to make a distinction that the RDF is what is updated, not the RWOs. My understanding of the Getty implementation isn't perfect, and after working with Lynette, it seems they aren't bothering to worry about the ActivityStream declaring that a Person was updated. Their URIs for the objects and concepts for places/people/orgs/etc. look jumbled to my eye. Re: QA: during the meeting with the Stanford folks this week we decided to add lookup configs for all of locvocabs_ld4l_cache. With Lynette's help I made the pull request here: https://github.com/LD4P/sinopia_editor/pull/3129/commits/2275a08a31867c20af269cd76557ef090ee38e32. 
  • Cache Containerization Plan - Develop a sustainable solution that others can deploy
    • 2021-10-01 Greg continuing with load testing. Finding it stable but not as responsive as elastic beanstalk version (avg from 0.5s to 1–1.5s) – need to understand why. Also still some work needed to implement CI/CD
