• LD4P2 year 1 update for CUL in July 17 MWG @ 3pm – Reflections
  
  • Some people kept to time, others not quite 
  • John found it useful to connecting people to projects and terminology. Have sense of "extended context" meaning in our context. Also terms "cohort" , "affinity group", etc.
• Prep for Cataloging Sinatra and other 45's (Discogs data, https://github.com/ld4p/qa_server/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3ADiscogs)
  
  • ON HOLD pending more work in Sinopia to import data. Sinopia work through work cycle 4 will include the ability to read in RDF back from Trellis. We hope that we can leverage this to import RDF from a lookup in Discogs or ShareVDE
  • Sinopia has a load tab where one can insert some RDF (n3?), linked to a specific resource template, and then it uses the RDF to populate the form. This is interesting but somewhat backwards from our point of view – we would like to trigger the RDF load from Discogs via a lookup. There is also a new "search" tab in Sinopia but it isn't connected to anything right now
    • ACTION - Tim and Steven to try the load tab with data from Discogs and an appropriate template
    • ACTION - Tim to talk to folks to try to get a sense of how much work it would be to connect Discogs lookup to data import
    How do we get to a point where we can do Discogs in Sinopia?

• Enhanced Discovery (see also https://wiki.duraspace.org/x/sJI7Bg and https://github.com/LD4P/discovery/projects/1)

  • KPAOW plan: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XuXH9n1YOhZY9cJhalA6ceTjOSpJrCsveoRgZyAUfwc/edit
    • Scenarios/Data doc:
    • Slides working through scenarios (to inform/be used as mockups)
    • Added links to readme to provide easier access to important documents
    For items in the catalog with OCLC numbers we find about 0.5% have a corresponding work entry with that OCLC number in wikidata. This means that we can build plumbing for the general case but we need to pick special cases to demonstrate
    • Tasks for KPAOW demo https://github.com/LD4P/discovery/issues/6
• Authority Lookups for Sinopia (Lookup infrastructure: https://github.com/LD4P/qa_server/projects/2, Authority requests: https://github.com/LD4P/qa_server/projects/1)
  • The spreadsheet for sub-authority lookup configuration has different sets of context properties for different sub-authorities. Currently the QA configuration doesn't support this so Lynette is working on getting the superset of context properties for each authority. Later work could either have Sinopia configuration to subset this data, or there could be more configuration in QA. See https://github.com/LD4P/qa_server/issues/92
  • Work to get context is not currently integrated into Sinopia. Huda will work to get a draft PR to add context in and seek review from the Sinopia team
  • Lynette will have to back off LD4P somewhat in the next few week to focus on other priorities. Will today try to work through as much extended context as possible, create tickets for Steven and Dave as appropriate. A number of auths already return extended context so this won't be a blocked to getting something showing in Sinopia
  • Productive meeting on Tuesday with Lynette, Steven, Dave where it was decided that there must be search examples that can be used to demonstrate completion of context addition for a given authority. Things are good on context and QA side but still need to index a number of authorities in D.a.v.e.
  • Have decided on process of github :+1: voting to help prioritize authority work
  • Would be good to understand how our lookup stacks up against the lookups in OCLC Connexion. Not sure when it would be appropriate to do this comparison.ISNI now have a test LD API and Michelle/Christine are looking at it
• Travel and meetings (see LD4P2 Cornell Meeting Attendances)
