Agenda & Notes
Review actions from 2020-01-31 Cornell LD4P2 Meeting notes
- Huda Khan to discuss with Astrid and David possible collaboration with U Chicago over usability (and maybe others in DOG team)
- Notes: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_V7JfAKqSn63-G0zupLZigt8o7R3v_WXC7hWlt8w744/edit
- 2020-01-10 Chicago report will be discussed in DAG meeting on Jan 21 (expect to happen as scheduled). Follow up with David and Astrid to look at what we could apply from what they learned and what additional user studies they could help us with
- DAG presentation did occur and it was very interesting (link to meeting) – in depth interviews to understand research needs with open-ended questions, need more thought to understand how we might apply lessons from this
- E. Lynette Rayle QA performance
- Dave made some changes to address issues with 50x responses, still possible issues under high load (possibly something on the Sinopia side but waiting to look at IP address to logging to identify whether same source is hitting us with same request)
- Ongoing discussion about the need build more complex indexes to deal with slowness of complex queries
- 2020-01-31 - Dave, Steven, Lynette had a meeting this week. Created a list (HERE) . Dave is still optimistic about perf improvements in SPARQL with change from CONSTRUCT to SELECT, but not sure when Dave will be able to try this. Also looking at indexing approaches with smaller sources than SVDE, will try LOC which is expected to take 3 days. Will also work to cache context when needed and not to request it when it isn't needed. Steven noted this on #authorities channel. Three categories of approaches: 1) amount of extended context, 2) efficiency of queries, 3) scalability of requests. Longer term there are questions of lookup vs. autocomplete modes
- Adam Smith to investigate cost and any issues with setting up a D&A Beta system to allow broader testing of some discovery ideas from this work
- John Skiles Skinner to continue discussion with Hathi trust about an API or access to their index
- 2020-01-31 There is investigation but not sure whether it will result in something we can use
- Huda Khan Tim Worrall John Skiles Skinner to finish up lessons learned from BAM!

Status updates and planning
- 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
- Steven: Investigated why not all entities created by the catalogers aren’t showing up in the Search Tab. Turns out… because embedded templates don’t produce URIs for those entities, they are not indexed as separate entities for reuse. Only the “primary” enitity gets a URI and is a result in the search. Eventually we can decide whether to de-embed templates and as catalogers to copy and paste URIs between Sinopia templates so everything is searchable, or wait for Sinopia to improve on this.
- 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?")
- Authority Lookups for Sinopia (Lookup infrastructure: https://github.com/LD4P/qa_server/projects/2, Authority requests: https://github.com/LD4P/qa_server/projects/1)
- Performance...
- Explore options for getting some of the smaller QA/Cache related issues completed. e.g. Issues #122 to add LDPath to OCLC
- Travel and meetings (see LD4P2 Cornell Meeting Attendances)
- Knowledge Graph Conference (Columbia University), May 6-7, workshops 5/4-5/5
- Workshops due 1/15 (not doing this), proposals due 2/28, talks 20mins
- Huda Khan will lead effort to consider proposal
- LD4 Conference at College Station, TX (TAMU) - May 13/14, 2020
- Proposals due 2020-01-31 – https://stanforduniversity.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_ebmQF48Gn9bag6x
- Lynette will consider lookup best practices and discuss with OCLC
- Steven/Tim to think about discogs "supervised conversion"
- Per slack message, Steven considering workshop on RDF
- Huda/John/Tim/Steven to think about KPAOW! BAM! SMASH!
- Preliminary brainstorming
- Briefly discussed how there is probably enough content between user research, larger questions, and experiments/development and prototyping to fit into two presentations. Tim suggested using the larger questions to frame discussion of experiments/prototyping.
