Agenda & Notes

...

• Simeon Warner re: Ruby Dev for Enhanced Discovery work
• Huda Khan to work on a plan for Enhanced Discovery work through this year
  • Working draft (thanks Steven Folsomand Tim Worrall )
  • Continue work on this plan and refine scope/question for the knowledge panel area of work (KPAOW), review again next week
  • ==> Move forward with the KPAOW plan through June and July, cut scope if necessary to follow this schedule. Will then consider at end July whether to proceed with other two investigations before end of year
• Issues:
  • Overall Project Board

...

• Note from schema.org list:
  • https://bibliograph.github.io/BibloGraph-Frozen/bibliograph.net/ marked deprecated
• LD4P2 year 1 update for CUL as suggested by Jason
  • Will schedule as MWG in July (various out first week, Steven out Fri second week, Lynette week 22 and maybe preceding Fri 19)
  • Good to include interface stuff as all of our work in metadata focused
  • Simeon - project intro, positioning, Stanford and Sinopia (10min)
  • Lynette - QA / DAVE (10min)
  • Tim - discogs (5min)
  • Steven - Profiles (links QA and Discogs work) (10min)
  • Huda - Discovery and user perspective on lookup (10min)
  • Jason - LD4 community, cohort and future (10mins)
  • Discussion - 30mins

• Enhanced Discovery (see also https://wiki.duraspace.org/x/sJI7Bg and https://github.com/LD4P/discovery/projects/1)

  • Huda hoping to get Lincoln mockups done and learnt about how to get more from Google Analytics data (can see how people got to request screen) – nothing in last week, Sinopia and planning insteadlooking at Google Analytics to understand Lincoln search, not yielding much. Do see facet use. Can't follow a user's path in this data with respect to a specific search
  • Tim - other work this week. Discussion of related search in KPAOWTim took feedback on related searches to better distinguish the options. Waiting to see where this fits into the enhanced discovery plan
• Authority Lookups for Sinopia (Lookup infrastructure: https://github.com/LD4P/qa_server/projects/2, Authority requests: https://github.com/LD4P/qa_server/projects/1)
  • Dave fixed bug #94 with stop words, Lynette will test and deal with other infrastructure deployments
  • Dave has addressed #53 LCNAF which is not next in qa
  • Lynette will be on LD4P2 next week and will first move forward with things ready to deploy
  • Open questions about how to deal with Share-VDE data for Sinopia – we need to decide whether we will work with various institutional datasets or whether we will instead have everyone working on the Cluster Knowledge Base? We (Cornell) would prefer the CKB but what is the general sense of the cohort? Think that is best decided at the cohort meeting (where Casalini will be present) or very soon after. Suggest that David Eichmannshould hold-off on SVDE/CKB authority support until this is decided – expect that use of one CKB would be rather easier to manage than dealing with each cohort dataset
    • From Slack discussion...
      

      RE: ShareVDE - At our meeting in Boston, there were questions about whether cohorts wanted access via…

      OPTION 1: search their own data only
      OPTION 2: search all institution’s data
      OPTION 3: choose to search a specific alternate institution’s data
      OPTION 4: search the Clustered Knowledge Base

      And there was a decision point as to whether it would be only one of these options or a combination of options or all options. Casalini seemed to be proposing OPTION 4 as the only needed option.

  • Huda has a PR for Sinopia around dealing with sub-authorities
  • has JSPs with exact match implemented and they check out, is moving them into production JSPs soon
  • Lots of work on https://github.com/LD4P/qa_server/projects/2 to get around bugs in LC data – ids in the data sometimes have a space between n and number, but the URIs don't, so this needs special handling in order to generate the URI from the id – LC have acknowledged the error but we don't know when it might get fixed (exchange in authorities slack), Lynette will follow up on the official id.loc.gov listserv
  • Next focus if getting context data per Steven's spreadsheet
  • Steven is working on ldpaths in the spreadsheet and has completed most of the first 9 tabs; notes and many are complex (MeSH and LC), some of the others will be easier
  • Positive ISNI meeting recently where data model was shared, follow up meeting soonOpen question of how/where to indicate that context should be displayed in the Sinopia interface. Steven suggests that displaying the context from QA should be the default rather than the exception. Huda will have to merge other master changes into her branch before making a PR to add context to Sinopia, this is ~1week work – focus for Huda and Tim
• 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. 
• Travel and meetings (see LD4P2 Cornell Meeting Attendances)
  
  • LD4P June 2019 Meeting: Agenda formation: https://wiki.duraspace.org/x/p4B7Bg
    • Lynette (Tue, 1/2 Wed), Steven, Jason, Huda
    • Partner meeting is day after cohort
    • Cohort discussion topics:
      • How do we handle SHARE-VDE data for cohort institutions in QA? Should these appear as a separate "authority" for each institution or as one commingled set? The latter is perhaps better for taking advantage of reconciliation and promoting improved ways of working with linked data
  • Other meetings
    • IPLC Discovery Day is July 22 – what is overlap? 
    • Blacklight Summit will be at Duke, dates not yet announced 9, 10, 11 October at Duke
