• Enhanced Discovery - WHAM! (see also https://wiki.duraspace.org/x/sJI7Bg and https://github.com/LD4P/discovery/projects/1)
  
  • See: Organizing doc and Pseudonym thought. Updates also on running notes page
  • Updates from Dev chat meeting
  • Usability -  Slides with tasks and examples
    
  • Huda: Wrap up work.  Working on some remaining bugs, hoping to address by Tuesday (and if not, will document what remains to be done).  Lessons learned draft started.  Also brief indexing script documentation (for how to run the script). WHAM! demo video segments to be done by: indexing (Huda - Friday), controller front-end (Tim - Monday), packaging (John - Monday).  
  • John worked on packaging, is moving Tim's code into nectarguide. Have decide not to adopt to use twitter typeahead but instead a more direct move.
• Authority Lookups for Sinopia (Lookup infrastructure: https://github.com/LD4P/qa_server/projects/2, Authority requests: https://github.com/LD4P/qa_server/projects/1)
  • Last week: Lynette has mostly been focusing on exhibits. Dave is working on performance improvements to eliminate SPARQL quest after matches for LOC. Still have Steven's additional tests, want to see how capitalization tests work and should have same results – hope to get these set up this week
  • This week's update:
    • Accuracy testing: 2020-06-24 Accuracy Testing Focused on Capitalization  Observations: Stemming is not happening.  Exact matches aren't found when the preferred label is language tagged.  Dave is looking into turning on stemming and exploring how to handle labels with language tags.
    • Performance: Dave is reindexing LOC to use the new indexing that keeps the extended context in the index.
    • SF - cleaned up the Priorities spreadsheet (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1UhesnSRVHJNt8zFVjh6VKg4hTOzMpSj1AXX_jRvmY6I/edit?usp=sharing), moved closed issues to the complete section at the bottom. It confirms we are currently working on the right issues.
• Linked Data API Working Group
  • Last week: Starting first Monday in June and then every other week for 4 months, logistics put into place, documents:
    
    • Current Approaches to Providing Search APIs
    • Needs of Consumers and Applications
    • Meeting notes
    • List of terminology with definitions
  • This week: Had second meeting and discussed current approaches and defined potential use cases.
    • Current Approaches to Providing Search APIs
    • Use Cases
    • Meeting notes (recording: youtube)
  • First use cases added around looking up authorities: keyword or left-anchored search.  Filtering also mentioned as a desired feature. Other use cases included caching, batch processing both automatically and supervised (e.g. reconciliation).
  • Issue raised that perhaps we should first define a model that would be supported by shared APIs even if this data stored locally in a different data model.
    • E.g. If requesting information about a person entity, data is returned using the same Person ontology regardless of data source/authority.
  • Discussions will continue around use cases and how the working group will address them.
• LD4P3 Planning
  
  • Stanford functional requirements document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/18H6zYGwKuCg3SZqm9Q_cxkZThcdmBjknE6HdtQ-RRzk/edit#heading=h.4fu64x8jzm6e
    • Possible relationship to entity management work in FOLIO
    • How much full LD vs linky-MARC?
    • CUL LTS working group is hoping to add URIs to MARC before FOLIO migration as a substitute for some of the heading management we do in Voyager in other ways. Perhaps won't be done ahead of switch but as part of the data migration. Considering how to update/maintain going forward
    • 2020-06-05 Agree that doing some analysis/write-up for the Cornell context would be good, ACTION for July
  • Greg has been working on setting up a copy of Cornell Blacklight
  • Thursday meeting - went well, imagine having follow-ons to flesh out the work packages, consider engagement and how the target for cohort/PCC has shifted – with more PCC involvement we may narrow focus more toward monographs and serials. We should be careful to have shared understanding of scope. Discussion toward the end of to-dos for the specific work packages, likely need a meeting for each. Need to understand collaboration between Stanford and Cornell on discovery. Not sure of link (if any) between Sinopia data and discovery work
• Meetings (see LD4P2 Cornell Meeting Attendances)
  • LD4 Conference 2020
    • Expecting presenters to be contacted soon
    • First pass at a draft for the workshop for the LD4 Conference Steven doing workshop in week of July 9: details here: https://github.com/sfolsom/LD4_2020_Conference_Linked_Data_WorkShop. Comments welcome, but no pressure. I’m still working with the Conference Organizers to firm up workshop slack, email, and office hour communication.
    • Everyone encourages to respond promptly to conference organizers
    • Discovery track: July 20-23.  Huda + Astrid tentatively scheduled for July 20 and going live.
    • Lynette and Jeremy - July 9 doing a recording with live Q&A
    • Lynette no longer doing presentation of best practices for authorities WG - too early in process
