      • Met with Tracey and Kevin (Stanford) to discuss thematic catalogs and Wikidata. Notes:

        • Takeaways: 
          • Useful to display music catalog codes and cross-references for musical works. Can start with use cases in document.  Additional area of interest is translations (Stravinsky works use Russian uniform titles while many will try to search with French and English titles first and then go to Russian).  
          • Considering interviewing or talking with music students to better understand which use cases might be of interest
          • Asked if order within the catalog matters but it didn't seem to. We're still curious
          • Order of thematic  catalog might be important (i.e. we may want to show code from a particular catalog first)
            • Simeon: Could identify which thematic catalogs are of interest in our prototype and start there
      • Knowledge panels: Could use that as a pattern to bring in more info about works, or use the BANG! pattern with a dedicated work page.  Could try both of those out.
      • Searching by catalog code? Simeon: Would need a fielded search to be effective. 
        • Currently, thinking this may need more work to define how this (areas of concern:
  • DAG Calls
    • 2022-09-22: Next week will have crossover with Wikidata Affinity Group where they talk about their engagement strategies and what they have learned so far from their sessions regarding GLAM interests
    • 2022-09-29: We had that crossover! It was great! We should all learn from the Wikidata Affinity Group (Notes). What are we doing next time? We don't know.  Unless FOLIO authorities are ready? or FOLIO + discovery?

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)
    • 2022-09-15Updates now in staging but have worked out that term fetch for country codes is not working. Still debugging. Would like to get this fixed for PCC Sinopia presentation in ~10 days
    • Greg thinks that process to deploy is worked out
    • Still need work from Dave on https://github.com/LD4P/qa_server/issues/42.
    • 2022-09-22
      • Have workflow going so that we can get new authority files into the app, but all fetch links are broken. Looks like this isn't a problem with the app but with the services that Dave runs – the services that the app hits return errors. Steven notes that some fetches work but not new vocabulary so maybe a config issue. Steven will document as qa_server issue: https://github.com/cul-it/qa_server_aws_deploy/issues/34
    • 2022-09-29
      • Still need work from Dave on https://github.com/LD4P/qa_server/issues/42.
      • - Dave fixed https://github.com/eichmann/ld4l_services/blob/1d3cefa6325d315d24746391d9819cf7c13d5d4f/WebContent/loc_countries_lookup.jsp#L6 to follow the loc_ pattern of the other loc lookups. Greg working to redeploy Steven's corresponding fix to production servers. 
      • Deployment still has some issues. Greg finds that sometimes he has to rebuild database and we instead need to have to have a way to preserve data, but MariaDB container seems to leave underlying persistent files in a bad state
      • Steven gave the talk at the PCC Sinopia Affinity Group -

        • Gave recap of the service, and then manage expectations about new lookups/updates of existing lookups.
        • Unclear who decides in the PCC realm which authorities are critical
  • Best Practices for Authoritative Data working group (focus on Change Management)
    • 2022-09-22 - next meeting is Sep 2629 - Met on Monday, Entity Metadata Collections → Entity Sets, Notifications → Activities, discussion of order, pagination and dates 
  • Containerizing the QaServer - DONE
    • 2022-08-04 Greg digging in to terraform as a potential replacement for cloudformation, not ready to move yet!
    • 2022-09-15 Still exploring, have only tried baby steps so far. Need to focus on current system first
  • Containerizing the Cache Indices
    • 2022-07-21 : No progress. Have not heard anything from Dave; Jason will ask him at Monday's PI meeting to respond to Greg
    • 2022-08-04 There wasn't a PIs meeting so haven't yet checked with Dave
