Agenda & Notes
Review actions from 2019-09-06 Cornell LD4P2 Meeting notes
- E. Lynette Rayle will work with Michelle to develop a prioritization process. Steven Folsom is starting the slack thread b/t Michelle and Lynette
- 2019-08-30 Steven and Michelle had a call and will filter new requests using :+1: style voting from the cohort. Have separated 8 or 9 out of 20 requests which are just small drop-downs and wouldn't benefit from QA work – PR for this has and issue that Steven is working with Jeremy on
- 2019-09-06 Process agreed, waiting on Michelle Futornickto push out request for input
- 2019-09-13 Request for input had 20 Sep due date, when results collated we'll follow that priority order for QA work. Steven Folsomwill lead our completion of our input on Sinopia requests with focus on show stoppers for Discogs cataloging work
- Simeon Warner, E. Lynette Rayle, Steven Folsom to apply for LODLAM
- Not done, deadline in 30 Sep
- Tim Worrall to update discogs code to use standard bnode format
- 2019-09-13 Tim about half way through this
- Tim Worrall to check that Sinopia actually supports n3 (with prefixes and compacted statements) and not just ntriples
- Steven Folsom to update discogs profiles to remove old pattern resulting in unnecessary bnodes
- 2019-09-13 all done, demo
- Huda Khan et al. – KPAOW video and write up: Make short video. Write up successes, difficulties, lessons, data and index needs, areas for continued work (if and when)
- Video version 1 – DONE video and looks good
- Huda Khan to upload youtube
- Simeon Warnerto ask Zsuzsa about whether organize CUL-IT videos under CUL – answer from Zsuzsa is agree doesn't make sense to mix with CUL video intended for the general public, happy for us to organize in a CUL-IT channel
- 2019-09-13 Have uploaded video (with masterpiece theatre wrapping) to cul-it channel
- 2019-09-13 - Usability results write up (in progress still) – Huda Khanto complete write-up
- Lessons/results in progress, will be shared by next meeting – for next weekmeeting
- Issues:
...
- 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 cycle 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 Fall – we need to emphasize the importance of cloning
- Expect to start cataloging work on Oct 1, will start with work on things without discogs data pending an update to Sinopia with discogs lookup/load
Enhanced Discovery (see also https://wiki.duraspace.org/x/sJI7Bg and https://github.com/LD4P/discovery/projects/1)
- 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 (to run through end October)
- 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
- Updating
- Initial draft of BAM plan
- Had DOG meeting to discuss meaning and intentions of browse
- One is open ended search like physical browse
- Another is berry picking, finding stepping stones to desired outcome by refining – this seems easier to design for
- Huda plans to do some with with Astrid at Stanford LD-BL meeting
- Tim will extend work connecting in with LOC for subject and perhaps author browse
- John looking at expanding related searches section
- Will continue to work on plan – review progress next week
- Look at doing upgrade to current BL7 early so it isn't a delay in later dev work, also consider repo organization
- Current browse is rather separate from search experience - can we make that connection more fluid?
- Need to come up with a few motivation examples
- Anything to learn from virtual shelf experiments for subject libraries? Or idea of "new" items? How does one fine entry point for a subset browse? What audiences are most likely to use a browse? Is this something that might interest faculty/researchers more than undergrads (other way round to knowledge panels)? This will be a track at the BL-LD meeting
- do we need to do things at index time?)
- Lynette has first stab at response time analysis, typical response from QA is 0.4-0.5s with about half and half between loading data from Dave/parsing graph, and then normalization in QA
- Will look at concurrency next week
- Dave has all of SVDE data loaded
- Still investigating speed and concurrency - this is a high priority for Sinopia team
- ISNI discussions stalled – will be interested to see how high this comes out in the prioritization. Given that there isn't an LD API the best approach would likely to be a discogs-like conversion from JSON built into QA server
