- 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
- DASH! (Displaying Authorities Seamlessly Here)
- Dashboard design meeting kickoff notes
- https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PgQi3xobsPhr9DUHU_YGeimL1OjNiiTdkiNWb36r3Gg/edit

- Usability results, a few little things to finish up
- GitHub issues
- 2021-12-17
- New features are LIVE on our D&A
- Video in progress
- 2022-01-12

- 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.
- Perhaps easier to demonstrate usefulness of BIBFRAME/semantic model for more complex use cases (although article focused on visualizations and found visualizations were effective regardless of complexity when compared with a faceted results view)
- 2022-01-14 - Next call next Tuesday, will focus on topic roadmap and then talk about data (where does it come from and how does it show in discovery, and what other sources could be used?)
- 2021-12-03 - next Tuesday, last call of 2021! Recap slides to be made, and hope for some discussion on people's thoughts regarding topics and ideas for next year
Linked-Data Authority Support (WP2)
- Qa Sinopia Collaboration
- 2022-01-0714
- Pagination merged, but not released. Want to update linked data module to use new pagination before releasing. Need to deal with backward compatibility for linked data module use of non-jsonapi parameters and output formatting for pagination.
- Looked into intermittent failure to respond to some queries. QA is logging `RDF::Graph#load EOFError` which implies it didn't get all the data from the cache. Verifying the failing queries today, they all pass. Dave doesn't report anything unusual in his logs.
- Topic for next week's meeting: openness to add more vocabs and on-going prioritization of this work
- PR is in for pagination that is general for QA and meets the specific Sinopia use case re. YAML authorities
- Need to discuss priorities with Dave
- 2022-01-0714
- Best Practices for Authoritative Data working group (focus on Change Management)
- 2022-01-0714
- Next meeting 4th week in January.
- Overview Working on the documentation rewrite while the group is off. Overview of the architecture and flow are being organized in Entity Metadata Management Architecture
- Made significant progress on the external recommendations document.
- 2022-01-0714
- Containerization
- 2022-01-0714
- Don't know status of Stanford testing before break.
- Future work:Maybe look at move from CloudFormation to Terraform
- Containerize Dave - perhaps Greg & Dave could start while Lynette works on best practices group
- Move our own QA instance to use CloudFormation. Lynette needs to look at customization parts and get them into container version first
- Maybe look at move from CloudFormation to Terraform

- Authorities in FOLIO
- 20212022-11-19 Julia walked group through what deletes would take in the current plan, it would be challenging to do this using a combination of Blacklight, Connexion, and FOLIO. Jenn and Nick suggested thinking about FOLIO authorities app (to keep us in FOLIO for search, copying, and editing in BIBs), timeline for EBSCO work on authorities app is ingest/search in Lotus (April)
- 2021-12-10
- Frances working to parse data and then Nick will use data via API to generate report. Expect the need to iterate.
- Jenn did some analysis on copy of old Voyager data to look which controlled identifiers might be pull into BIBs
- 01-14 Working on "deletes" workflow (actually deprecation with replacement process for references). Current workflow uses browse in Blacklight and benefits from links into FOLIO
- Upcoming presentations: Discussion on knowledge panels and Cornell Wikidata integration1/24 ARLIS/NA x Wikidata, and catalog form and function IG presentation March 11, 3-4pm (hope to also get Steven )
