- Huda Khan to discuss with Astrid and David possible collaboration with U Chicago over usability (and maybe others in DOG team)
- Meeting with Astrid, Lynette, Steven and David and Emma set for 11/21 (Tim is out that week) to discuss potential usability work for discovery and Sinopia
- 2019-11-22 - Had meeting yesterday. David and Emma will devote time to two tests – thinking about aspects around lookups and context. Results will be useful even if no more dev in this grant. Question whether there is training required beforehand. Will revisit question in January. UChicago have just completed a significant study re. discovery with grad students, will be discussion of possible follow-up

- Beginning to put together potential SMASH! examples: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1u2NYavIpzjbqrmSvDpuFnmCXSIjVW9tTfaU5B4N4zrw/editWill try to decide on something to try by 6 Dec
- Based on meetingsJohn is looking at 0 results issue (what can system provide wrt suggestions based on linked data connection); currently considering full text as well as subjects from IA and Hathi
- Tim looking at autocomplete with an idea of what UGhent has done; interested in UX of what they've done and whether this generates any ideas. Ghent focuses on agents... and we want to look at entities beyond that. Autocomplete at Ghent is AJAX based on their indexing of VIAF, etc. Huda: considering what we mean when we talk about semantic search... and what are the possibilities. Huda Khanwill add slide link. Huda: "Lincoln was a pro wrestler before he was president"how we might do better with searches that currently yield zero results. Experience to date suggests that full-text approaches are the most promising. Have looked at archive.org, hathi and google books. So far, Google books is the only service with an available API. In discussion with Hathi and we might prefer that, or perhaps mix sources. Question of analysis of Google vs. Hathi results – certainly different but we don't have a good sense of how
- Estimate is that less than 1% of search results that yield zero results, most are legitimate queries on obscure topics rather than simple typos
- Blacklight has some "did you mean?" facility but it isn't good so we and every else turns it off
- Tim is looking at autocomplete functionality against VIAF, VIAF via Dave, and FAST
- Huda is looking at results from search of subject terms (including alternate labels) in Dave, and then considering broader and narrower terms in order to offer more subject categories to look at. Thinking of looking at subject headings obtained from results from catalog search
- STARTING with items not in DIscogs but AWAITING more work in Sinopia to import data. Sinopia work cycle 2 (through December 6) 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.
- Work is going on. Questions about where to put data and roles, and how many abstractions of work are required (e.g. for performance and for composition). Lookups are too slow and too buggy
- BAM! (to run through end October)
- For reference: Initial draft of BAM plan
- BAM Screenshots (Tim's call number screenshots added.)
- Tying up video next week, John has submitted his section (DONE)
- Beginning draft for lessons learned
- SMASH! (to run through end of January)
- How will we decide what to take forward from KAPOW!, BAM! and SMASH!?
