Linked-Data Authority Support (WP2)
- Qa Sinopia Collaboration
- 2022-01-21
- Met this week to to talk about new vocab requests. General consensus is that there are unlikely to be many requests because we've already hit the big ones. Known current requests that are a priority include new ISNI rdf download and Homosaurus. There are existing requests that we probably should check in on to see if they are still needed and then determine priority (i.e. RBMS, ORCID, DCMI, CCL, GAMECIP, OLAC's Videogame Genre)
- Steven will review additional suggestions and discuss with Nancy
- Dave has already created a triple store of the new ISNI RDF download including a Fuseki end point. Steven did the review for extended context, https://github.com/LD4P/qa_server/issues/14#issuecomment-1018554436. It is in Dave's court for generating the index. Want support for searching by URI.
- Dave is looking to switch indexing from Lucene to Elastic Search. He wants to do this before starting the containerization process.
- Lynette to discuss ongoing maintenance issues for ES vs Lucene, we have mostly Solr expertise in CUL
- Dave believes he fixed a race condition that was causing the 500 errors. I'm not seeing the EOFError in the logs, but I am seeing RDF::Graph#load failure: IOError. So this may be something else going on.
- I reported suspicious access to SYSOPTS (e.g. requests to wp, python, .env, etc.) More info in at DLITSYS-4557. No response from SYSOPTS yet.

- Best Practices for Authoritative Data working group (focus on Change Management)
- 2022-01-21
- We meet next Monday.
- There was discussion in Slack about the usage of Add vs. Create. I believe we have settled on Create indicating the entity is brand new and Add indicating that the entity wasn't available and now it is (e.g. permission change, temporary removal reinstated, etc.) I expect Remove and Delete to follow a similar pattern.

- Containerization
- 2022-01-21
- Greg out for a month.
- I checked in with Justin about progress. He stated... "I never got it to work correctly. I think the problem came down to networking."
- Next up is containerization of cache. Probably starting in Feb.
