  • Kaleidoscope article: https://cornellprod.sharepoint.com/sites/cul/kscope/default.aspx#technical
  • Prep for Cataloging Sinatra and other 45's (Discogs data, https://github.com/ld4p/qa_server/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3ADiscogs)
    • ON HOLD pending more work in Sinopia to import data. Sinopia work through work cycle 4 2 will we hope include the ability to read in RDF back from Trellis. We hope that we can leverage this to import RDF from a lookup in Discogs or ShareVDE
    • Waiting for Work Cycle 2 (starting week of Sep 23) to understand whether the derivation/cloning work item will happen during FallFall – we need to emphasize the importance of cloning
    • Steven working to make our Sinatra profiles (refactoring for 4th time) in order to get lookups with context, will then also be able to help other cohort members doing similar work to support context
    • Tim has minor code changes to make to the Discogs authority code to make sure that the n3 matches the new profile and to use the `_:xyz123` bnode syntax instead of dummy named resources `<xyz123>` – Steven will work with Tim to check with profile as to where we want bnodes
    • Simeon Warner & Jason Kovari to discuss possibility of early experiment with original cataloging for items not found in Discogs to test profile and editor2019.08.16: Sinopia 1.0 released and they're looking for bug testers. catalogers can start working soon. 
    • Tracey has a student working thru all of the 45s to identify which are not in discogs so we can catalog those first
    • Need remainder of resource templates completed and added to Sinopia. Then can start people working.
  • Enhanced Discovery (see also https://wiki.duraspace.org/x/sJI7Bg and https://github.com/LD4P/discovery/projects/1)

    • Can do demo for below and discuss what we need to do to wrap up KPAOW
    • KPAOW plan: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XuXH9n1YOhZY9cJhalA6ceTjOSpJrCsveoRgZyAUfwc/edit
    • Huda's user testing write-up
      • 2019.08.09: still being written. Will try and share when back from vacation
      • 2019.08.30: Not done yet but should be by next meeting
      Linking Works to wikidata
      • 2019.08.16: Checked OCLC work ids in concordance file with wikidata... and about 1/600 return results. Worked thru about 5% of the concordance file. 
      • Can consider other use cases beyond clustering of works; examine which other data might yield results.
      • Series chronology, derivative works. Steven has some thoughts and will share with John.
    • Discogs within KPAOW 
      • 2019.08.16: demo from Tim - Two by Toot. WOAH! so much more data plus an image – along with highlights that reference data coming from discogs. 
      • Started working on linking genres to subjects... doing SOLR query on subject facet. 
      • Question: are you running checks to see if, e.g.: publisher is different between our catalog v. wikidata/discogs
      • Example of Coltrain at Newport '63 and Tyner live at Newport '63... need to ensure there are sufficient checks to prevent false matches
      • Application around directly identifying discogs URIs and/or 
      • Feedback from Tracey is "cool", specific feedback was desire to see publisher location from Discogs if available – Tim Worrallwill try to add this
      • Feedback from Simeon also "coolio"
    • KPAOW wrap up
      • Make short video
      • Write up successes, difficulties, lessons, data and index needs, areas for continued work (if and when)
    • BAM!
      • Have starting slide deck
      • Need to think about where linked data fits in well; related works; how to make our browse better; how to deal with hierarchy; moving past long lists; connecting place and time; intended audience; relation to facets and showing scope/possibilities; interesting use cases to explore; data and indexing (do we need to do things at index time?)
      • Try a shorter work cycle for this as we went over with KPAOW a bit... ~1.5months
      • @all to work on plan to review next week
      Subject headings (demo by Huda)
      • knowledge panels for authorized subjects. at bottom of knowledge panel has digital collections results
      • FAST in JSTOR Forum for these items are not yet in SOLR. Using JSTOR Forum API. Will try to get a few examples working – to see if we have the connection, what it would look like.
      • next steps: working on navigation within the KP. 
      • link to digital collections and link to wikidata. When go to icon, how does user know which is which (UX concern). 
      • indentation increases screen real estate – interesting to address 
      • John has been working on the other influenced, expanding/collapsing, sorting.
  • Authority Lookups for Sinopia (Lookup infrastructure: https://github.com/LD4P/qa_server/projects/2, Authority requests: https://github.com/LD4P/qa_server/projects/1)
    • Lynette update from slack:
      • LCNAF - Dave has a fix for the blank node bug which I will be testing today or Monday at the latest
      • ShareVDE - There are more online on Dave’s system. Monday when I am back on the LD4P project for two weeks.
        Plan for next week…
      • LCNAF: Test Dave’s bug fix. If this is good, we should be able to roll out RWO & authority based configs this week.
      • LCMPT: Work with Dave on LCMPT to get it to return Skos allowing for extended context.
      • LC: Validate extended context for remaining LC authorities.
      • ShareVDE: Create configs for newly available ShareVDE and update Sinopia config to make them accessible through Sinopia.
      • Polish off the performance code. There is a problem on AWS getting imagemagick to display graphs. I’m working with Greg to see if we can figure out why. I also want to add graphs for each individual authority to get a better understanding of performance issues.
      • I am planning to add background job processing of QA to improve concurrency throughput.
