  • Qa Sinopia Collaboration
    • 2022-01-1421 
      • Met this week to to talk about new vocab requests.  General consensus is that there are unlikely to be many requests because we've already hit the big ones.  Known current requests that are a priority include new ISNI rdf download and Homosaurus.  There are existing requests that we probably should check in on to see if they are still needed and then determine priority (i.e. RBMS, ORCID, DCMI, CCL, GAMECIP, OLAC's Videogame Genre)
      • Dave has already created a triple store of the new ISNI RDF download including a Fuseki end point.  Steven is going to review for extended context.
      • Dave is looking to switch indexing from Lucene to Elastic Search.  He wants to do this before starting the containerization process.
      • Dave believes he fixed a race condition that was causing the 500 errors.  I'm not seeing the EOFError in the logs, but I am seeing RDF::Graph#load failure: IOError.  So this may be something else going on.
      • I reported suspicious access to SYSOPTS (e.g. requests to wp, python, .env, etc.)  More info in at DLITSYS-4557. No response from SYSOPTS yet.
      • 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
  • Best Practices for Authoritative Data working group (focus on Change Management) 
    • 2022-01-1421
      • We meet next Monday.
      • There was discussion in Slack about the usage of Add vs. Create.  I believe we have settled on Create indicating the entity is brand new and Add indicating that the entity wasn't available and now it is (e.g. permission change, temporary removal reinstated, etc.)  I expect Remove and Delete to follow a similar pattern
      • Next meeting 4th week in January. 
      • Overview of the architecture and flow are being organized in Entity Metadata Management Architecture
      • Made significant progress on the external recommendations document.
  • Containerization
    • 2022-01-14
      21 
      • Greg out for a month. 
      • I checked in with Justin about progress.  He stated... "I never got it to work correctly.  I think the problem came down to networking."
      • Next up is containerization of cache.  Probably starting in Feb.Future work:
      • 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
