...

  • Qa Sinopia Collaboration - Meetings with Stanford will only occur on an as needed basis. Authority request issues: https://github.com/LD4P/qa_server/projects/1 (prioritized based on "important" authorities and ease of completion)
    • 2022-12-07
      • Steven is still working on plan to use non-cached lookups. Struggling a little to get a list of just the PCC template lookups.
      • Trying to wade through MESH related issues.
        • Was asked about possibly renewing the cache in January when the 2023 update is available. Trying to encourage direct API usage. E.g. https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/swagger/ui
        • Made pull request in Sinopia for MESH subauths already in QA but not yet available in Sinopia.
    • 2022-12-15
      • Steven (with help from Justin L.) able to identify PCC Template lookups
        • Completed a table including the lookup, LC's API if applicable, QA Direct Lookup if available, how often the data changes, and other thoughts when there was a unique issue with a lookup.
        • Wondering if next step is to try to identify highly used templates (not limited to PCC) so that we can better understand the demand for lookups. Decision yes.
        • TODO
          • Add a section for non-PCC lookups that are highly used.
          • Add approximate size of each dataset.
    • 2023-01-05
      • Steven added sections to the "Less reliance on caching" planning document to account for heavy Sinopia Users (Nat. Library of Norway and University of Washington). Each has a slightly different emphasis in terms of lookups.
      • Broadly speaking we have the following questions:
        • With no plan for a continued cache for Getty, do we want to look into Getty APIs?
        • Dave is going to refresh MESH for 2023. Do we need a plan for after 2023? Their model/queries are a little more complicated than others, size is relatively big.
        • RDA is made up of a bunch of very small static vocabularies. How low can we rely on Dave’s existing cache for these?
          • Do we add these as static lookups in QA?
        • For LOC vocabularies, what plan needs to be in place for switching to LOC APIs? E.g. Data will be more up to date, but it will lack the same context.
          • Can we add “direct” lookups through QA?
        • ISNI and DBpedia are large dynamic datasets. Would we consider direct lookups for these?
        • Big Question: Do we rely on separate data source APIs? Or add “direct” lookups in QA?
  • Best Practices for Authoritative Data working group (focus on Change Management)
    • 2022-12-15 
      • Need some wordsmithing on order recommendation
      • Steven will work on discussion about dates
  • Containerizing the QaServer - Initial work done, still exploring migration from CloudFormation to Terraform
    • 2023-01-05 Sticking with CloudFormation for now
  • Containerizing the Cache Indices
    • 2022-11-17 No plan to move on this at present

...

  • 2/14-2/16 Meeting at Stanford (Simeon, Jason, Steven)
    • Need to develop plan for pre-work
      • Steven working on documentation of QA authorities and cache use
      • "What is the linked data cataloging ecosystem we would like to see?" AND "Are we using our effort in the most efficient manner for ourselves and the community?"
        • Cornell hopes in this space (ecosystem expectations, standards, services)
        • Begin envisioning a new collaboration model so we can define ways to provision for that
        • Who else should be part of discussion: Laura, Jenn, Mary, Simeon, Steven, Jason
        • Scheduled for 2/1
    • Successful meeting: take Cornell and Stanford view, understand gaps and overlap, review what we have done thus far, identify next steps to build the ecosystem
