- 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)
- 2022-12-07
- Steven is still working on plan to use non-cached lookups. Struggling a little to get a list of just the PCC template lookups.
- Trying to wade through MESH related issues.
- Was asked about possibly renewing the cache in January when the 2023 update is available. Trying to encourage direct API usage. E.g. https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/swagger/ui
- Made pull request in Sinopia for MESH subauths already in QA but not yet available in Sinopia.

- Steven (with help from Justin L.) able to identify PCC Template lookups
- Completed a table including the lookup, LC's API if applicable, QA Direct Lookup if available, how often the data changes, and other thoughts when there was a unique issue with a lookup.
- Wondering if next step is to try to identify highly used templates (not limited to PCC) so that we can better understand the demand for lookups. Decision yes.
- TODO
- Add a section for non-PCC lookups that are highly used.
- Add approximate size of each dataset.

- Steven added sections to the "Less reliance on caching" planning document to account for heavy Sinopia Users (Nat. Library of Norway and University of Washington). Each has a slightly different emphaemphasis in terms of lookups.
- Broadly speaking we have the following questions:
- With no plan for a continued cache for Getty, do we want to look into Getty APIs?
- Dave is going to refresh MESH for 2023. Do we need a plan for after 2023? Their model/queries are a little more complicated than others, size is relatively big.
- RDA is made up of a bunch of very small static vocabularies. How low can we rely on Dave’s existing cache for these?
- Do we add these as static lookups in QA?
- For LOC vocabularies, what plan needs to be in place for switching to LOC APIs? E.g. Data will be more up to date, but it will lack the same context.
- Can we add “direct” lookups through QA?
- ISNI and DBpedia are large dynamic datasets. Would we consider direct lookups for these?
- Big Question: Do we rely on separate data source APIs? Or add “direct” lookups in QA?

- Best Practices for Authoritative Data working group (focus on Change Management)
- 2022-12-15
- Need some wordsmithing on order recommendation
- Steven will work on discussion about dates

- Containerizing the QaServer - Initial work done, still exploring migration from CloudFormation to Terraform
- 2023-01-05 Sticking with CloudFormation for now
- Containerizing the Cache Indices
- 2022-11-17 No plan to move on this at present
