- 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-JanuaryTracey 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 's and other feedback focused on three comments: 1 will be fix on Monday is something noticed in current system with "back to list" not making sense if user came from different context; case of work by multiple authors has only one in 100 field, other in 700 – the author in the 100 gets prime spot in item page where second author is relegated to other contributors which doesn't currently get an info button (and should any other contributors in 700 get info button?); reps like the subject detail page and exploring options for navigating subject data and getting to subject detail page. Additional exploration required for both of these cases.
- Hope to work on DASH! video next week 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.
- Perhaps easier to demonstrate usefulness of BIBFRAME/semantic model for more complex use cases (although article focused on visualizations and found visualizations were effective regardless of complexity when compared with a faceted results view)
- DAG Calls
- 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

- Qa Sinopia Collaboration – Support and evolve QA+cache instance for use with Sinopia
- 2021-1112-1910
- Worked with Dave to get the ShareVDE PCC data in the cache and configured for access through QA and the Sinopia editor. The data itself is not compatible with the desired shape for PCC templates. Nancy at Stanford plans to provide feedback on the data to ShareVDE.
- The deploy also included reindexing of all authorities to allow for case-insensitive search.
- There is still a problem with the number of results returned. When you request 4, you might get 4 or 5. This happens when there is a direct match, but seems to happen at other times as well. I haven't been able to identify the pattern of when this happens.
- Pagination header needs to be adjusted so that total results = total possible results allowing for a calculation of the number of pages. It is currently the number of results returned.
- 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
- 2021-1112-1910
- Best Practices for Authoritative Data working group (focus on Change Management)
- 2021-11-19- Working 12-10
- On hiatus until 3rd week in January. I will be working on the documentation rewrite
- while the group is off. Overview of the architecture and flow are being organized in Entity Metadata Management Architecture
- 2021-11-19- Working 12-10
- Cache Containerization Plan - Develop a sustainable solution that others can deploy
- 2021-1112-1910
- Justin testing
- 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
- 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)Hitting problems with the templates that we didn't hit. Greg working with Justin to work through the errors on the first of the two templates. So far, changes are required in the instructions as opposed to changing the templates.

- Sinolio - Sinopia-FOLIO
- 2021-12-03: Jeremy gave Jason access to a test instance of FOLIO on the Stanford servers. No data in there... but can log in10 - There is a now an "Export to Catalog" button in Sinopia that shows for Jason as a result of knowing that Jason is part of Cornell. Doesn't yet do anything
- 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.12-10 OCLC presented at bigheads meeting this week, in 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.
- 2021-1112-19 - 10 Nothing new to report.
- Authorities in FOLIO
- 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)
- 2021-12-10
- Frances working to parse data and then Nick will use data via API to generate report. Expect the need to iterate.
- Jenn did some analysis on copy of old Voyager data to look which controlled identifiers might be pull into BIBs
