  • Discovery presentation on 3/3: what is agenda? who is speaking? who is announcing to CUL?
    • Goal is to disseminate our week and then get some feedback about what might be promising
    • We need to have a way to take good notes – designate a note taker
    • View from staff involved with virtual libraries would be interesting, also D&A user reps
    • Need to be careful about managing expectations for stage this work is at and what might happen or not going forward
    • ACTION - Jason to write up, circulate and then send out on Tuesday
  • Cataloging Sinatra and other 45's (Discogs data, https://github.com/ld4p/qa_server/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3ADiscogs)
    • Lookups for place not usable, relies on work from Dave to fix: https://github.com/LD4P/qa_server/issues/248 & https://github.com/LD4P/qa_server/issues/240
    • Work is being done but places are not being recorded
    • Steven: Revised the Cornell Sinopia documentation (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vatjjuDOAy5Qzi-Jj-JmH9zytjyUd6c3X4DzMWvybL4/edit#heading=h.3tc5xzitbah8) to reflect the Discogs lookup and UI changes
    • Have a currently insurmountable issue with nested profiles. When create Work profile with nested Instance profile there isn't a URI for the Instance (it just gets hung from a bnode). Without a URI the title of the Instance doesn't get indexed. The Sinopia team are unable to fix this in the near term.
    • Cataloging work continues with this above limitation. If we want to later use the data we'll have to create URIs for the Instances. Also some concerns about how readily our BF could be transformed into MARC if that is what we wanted (because it is XSLT the very particular form of the BF RDF/XML is critical)
  • Enhanced Discovery (see also https://wiki.duraspace.org/x/sJI7Bg and https://github.com/LD4P/discovery/projects/1)
    • SMASH! (dev to run through 7 Feb, then user testing, video and write-up)
    • Open meeting March 3, 2-3:30pm in Mann 102 and should Zoom it too
    • How will we decide what to take forward from KAPOW!, BAM! and SMASH!? (or as Tim put it, "what happens in late February?")
    • SMASH!
      • Demo from Huda
      • Tim on Agra at the moment, just work on write up still to do
      • Next step is to devise and implement user tests for all three experiments in this phase
  • Authority Lookups for Sinopia (Lookup infrastructure: https://github.com/LD4P/qa_server/projects/2, Authority requests: https://github.com/LD4P/qa_server/projects/1)
    • Lynette has worked on some issues with the monitoring page, hope to make a release sometime today together with new CERL support from Dave
    • Additional extended context work is pending revisions from Dave but less important that the performance issues
    • LODLAM discussions
      • Getty cache LC data for robustness, something we have thought of as a motivation for caching behind QA
      • Kevin had a session on notifications in the context of library data and the need for APIs to support our workflows, ties to FOLIO and authority maintenance (Lynette's summary notes from this session)
