• BAM! WOW! (Browsing Across Music With Obtainable Wikidata)
  • 2023-09-21
    • BAM! WOW! work was developed, tested, and released (in August). There's early discussions about building on this work in future D&A sprints, e.g. 
      • Current SPARQL queries limit to English literals, and we wonder about bringing in other labels for certain cases. Also questions of what is being indexed in the authority record. Might lead to later refinements.
      • Steven will ask if/how much info buttons are being used to consider improvements and justifying cataloging work to make connections between datasets, e.g. LCNAF and Wikidata.
  • 2023-09-28
    • Steven working with Melissa to surface knowledge card info earlier in user experience. Need fix for popup that doesn't work well with screen readers. Mobile version has link that avoids problem, Steven looking at solutions used elsewhere. Expecting this to be resolved in current sprint
      • Info button usage stats as of 2023-09-25

        • Author info button

          Date range: 1/1/22-/12/31/22

          # of clicks on the pop-up button: 2,827 (total number of item record page views is over 1 million)

          # of clicks on the mobile author button: 154 (Note that on mobile the button doesn’t pop up, it takes you to the author info page, so we are tracking clicks separately.)

    • Discussing with Huda the choice between click-to-search, KP links, and what info buttons mean. Where is the sweet spot for flattening data on the page vs forcing more clicks to separate pages This is more of a research topic at the moment, maybe mockup and test
    • Steven attended Discovery Affinity Group meeting regarding the next phase of LUX
  • 2023-10-19
    • Attended the Discovery Affinity Group session on PHAROS. Similar to LUX, aggregates data/images from various sources. Found The PHAROS folks found OAI-PMH the easiest to work with, able to get updates easily.
    • Mary and Steven working with Matt Miller to develop a bot to find changes in LCNAF so that we can update our discovery environment with better wikidata links: https://github.com/thisismattmiller/lccn-wikidata-bot/tree/main/documentation
    • We think we have implemented everything in BAM! WOW! that we plan to deploy; we should think about dissemination

Linked-Data Authority Support (WP2)

• 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)
  • Two sprints: 1^st Sprint - 9/25-10/6 / 2^nd Sprint - 10/30-11/10

  • 2023-09-28

    • Christina is getting into the code to figure out what’s available in the Samvera Gem for LC direct lookups. Apparently as written, it pulls in the label and an identifier, rather than a URI. Rather than override that in the gem, she’s going to build off of our direct lookup already in our instance of QA.

    • Set up stand-up for the duration of the Sprint to make sure we keep focus
    • Steven has set up a test template in Sinopia for new lookups when ready
  • 2023-09-2810-19
    • First sprint completed. Matt and Christina quickly got to understand it
    • Christina added homosaurus and Getty vocabs. She used Getty SPARQL endpoint and got good results, have baseline lookups for ATT, ULAN and TGN, think we can improve these searches with more sophisticated queries. Homosaurus was easy, Christina quickly learned the API and we note considerable editorial work which means a live search
    • Matt focused on updating Ruby including thinking about the various dependencies
    • Steven added new lookup configs to Sinopia, with label “TEST (DO NOT USE YET)…”. Waiting for them to be pushed to production to test. Nancy is in the loop with update process
    • Greg notes that deploy process is working well (hurrah)
    • Next sprint is scheduled 10/30-11/10
      • Steven thinks that is Sinopia tests are good then we proceed with next lookups; and we think Matt will be able do a Ruby upgrade
• Best Practices for Authoritative Data working group (focus on Change Management)
  • 2023-09-28
    • Much activity on tidying
    2023-10-19
    • Mostly discussed section 6 on consuming activity streams (immutable vs. mutable, ascending vs. descending), leaning toward abstract description with pointers to LOC and Getty as examples. Also need to add language saying at this time neither fully comply. (And ask them each whether they'd make changes to comply)
