Discovery (WP3)
- https://github.com/LD4P/discovery/projects/2 for issues etc.
- Draft of a discovery plan: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zKYW7FQVVNvyd0XjjW0qWznX9PC3jbmOE6Kz_yygPjs/edit?usp=sharing
- Research: how to go from knowledge graph to an index
- DASH! (Displaying Authorities Seamlessly Here)
- Dashboard design meeting kickoff notes
- https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PgQi3xobsPhr9DUHU_YGeimL1OjNiiTdkiNWb36r3Gg/edit
- Usability testing and followup for DASH: Usability results
- Usability results, a few little things to finish up
- GitHub issues
- 2021-11-19
- Expecting user reps feedback by end of November, Tim is keeping branch up to date with other changes happening as part of D&A, also still doing some more cleanup
- Had to solve some issues with access controls to use wikipedia data, Huda will check whether JSONP is the best approach
- 2021-12-03
- Lenora: User reps are fine as-is (no concerns) but had not yet heard back from a few more people in her unit. By end of the week (today) would hear if any concerns exist. On Monday, Tim will email and point out that it would be easier to do while Tim is still here; won't be here for next D&A Spring in mid-January
- Tracey had feedback on a particular Paramount Records box set that looks bizarre in catalog (pulling in too much information and might be some incorrect information being pulled in - ToC is long but additional field is a very long, unformatted list of everything in the collection); she emailed a Tim and Huda, referencing that the cataloger already put in a link to Discogs. https://perma.cc/4URM-2MCP (Perma used since this page'll be updated shortly)
- BANG! (Bibliographic Aspects Newly GUI'd)
- Jamboard link
- Expect to include Works. Need to do something beyond what we already have live from the OCLC concordance data.
- DAG Calls
- 2021-11-19 - no updates, think about discovery and archives next year
- 2021-12-03 - next Tuesday, last call of 2021! Recap slides to be made, and hope for some discussion on people's thoughts regarding topics and ideas for next year
Linked-Data Authority Support (WP2)
- Qa Sinopia Collaboration – Support and evolve QA+cache instance for use with Sinopia
- 2021-11-19
- Update on PCC in ShareVDE. Meeting with Dave on Monday to touch base and other issues in the Current Focus project board. Steven has confirmed with Dave to move ahead with SVDE data, and shared feedback with SVDE who note problems with source MARC. Steven following up on possible conversion changes but might also inform our MARC practices
- OCLC naming alignment is complete. 3 subauths were added to QA for the cache (i.e. form, period, topic). Steven updated the labels to do the alignment in the Sinopia configuration. Ref: Issue #2125 expected changes, PR #3353 - merged yesterday
- 2021-11-19
- Best Practices for Authoritative Data working group (focus on Change Management)
- 2021-11-19- Working on the documentation rewrite. Overview of the architecture and flow are being organized in Entity Metadata Management Architecture
- Cache Containerization Plan - Develop a sustainable solution that others can deploy
- 2021-11-19
- Documentation is complete and has been tested locally by Huda and will be tested by a dev at Stanford. We made many refinements based on Huda's questions and feedback. We encouraged Stanford to connect with Greg and Lynette in slack when they start working on their deploy. We will update the docs further based on their questions and feedback. Sinopia Issue #326 requests testing of the deploy process.
- Issues are being opened when remaining work is identified. Next step for qa_server_container is to add a template to redeploy with a new image.
- In next meeting discuss plans for work to containerize cache based on what we have learned in this work
- 2021-12-03
- QA-Sinopia meeting where Dave and Lynette put heads together. Good feedback from Stanford about API results (Slack channel has details) but is about publication cities, etc. Will likely be rolling changes into release of QA service, which'll be good opportunity to test pushing these through integration, staging and production. Lynette focusing on Samvera work for last few weeks. Need to chat with Simeon about when to go live with the Containerization service (now or after these changes are made).

- 2021-11-19 - no updates, expect metadata mgmt update to FOLIO community in December
- 2021-12-03: Jeremy gave Jason access to a test instance of FOLIO on the Stanford servers. No data in there... but can log in
- OCLC Linked Data / Entities Advisory Group
- 2021-11-19 Moved away from Wikibase, could mean they reuse properties (at least rdf:type, rdfs:label, etc.) There will be a subscription for accessing the editor, and APIs. Not part of the cataloger subscription, but expect news soon(?) about going live and pricing models. LOD will be published/dereferenceable . Asked how they would justify the extra cost... they believe there’s a value for libraries to contribute data so that it’s shared. There's another round of testing.
- ISNI - made a soft launch of LOD this week. Shhh... they are providing data dumps now, dereferenceable LOD sometime in 2022. https://isni.org/page/linked-data/
- PCC
- 2021-10-27 Definitions and non-RDA examples in MARC examples continued to shift, but should be able to finalize the spreadsheet that generates the RDF today.
- 2021-11-19 - Nothing new to report.
- Authorities in FOLIO
- 2021-11-04 Laura, Julia, Jenn and Steven met this week to discuss getting URIs in our MARC records. We're going to try to abide by the same decisions reflected in OCLC's export options for URIs. Because every imaginable process for getting URIs relies on string matching we're meeting again next week to define scope and matching algorithms so that we're not adding a bunch of bad URIs.
- 2021-11-19 Julia walked group through what deletes would take in the current plan, it would be challenging to do this using a combination of Blacklight, Connexion, and FOLIO. Jenn and Nick suggested thinking about FOLIO authorities app (to keep us in FOLIO for search, copying, and editing in BIBs), timeline for EBSCO work on authorities app is ingest/search in Lotus (April)
