Attendees: Jason, Steven, Simeon, Dave
Regrets:
Discussion with Dave
- Plan is to remove cache auths that aren't being used.
- Dave will send list of caches that are being used
- Steven will plan which we will remove from config
- Announced removals to community
- Remove from config, document that, let Dave know
- Dave notes most authorities (e.g. LC) are easy to refresh, whereas big translated records (SVDE) take lots and lots of work to update
- Steven will send Dave list of authorities to update
- MESH – pipeline in there, not difficult to update
- Homosaurus - trivial
- Dave notes that the cache currently includes lots of logic to get the ranking that was desired. This includes careful handling of diacritics (e.g. US notion of de-diacriticiing doesn't match local conventions in original language). Steven notes would good to document these approaches either as feedback re. direct lookups or in any later work to redo a cache infrastructure
Discovery (WP3)
- BAM! WOW! (Browsing Across Music With Obtainable Wikidata)
- 2023-03-17
- Steven had meeting with Phil, Jesi, Christina and Tracey to discuss possible implementation of BAM! WOW! which was very positive. Harvard also considering similar work in the Primo context. Steven raised issue of involving user reps.
- 2023-03-17
- DAG Calls
- Simeon to investigate whether someone from D&A might attend
Linked-Data Authority Support (WP2)
- 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)
- 2023-03-09
- Steven met with Nancy and Justin. Agreed to prioritize vocabs where we want to move away from cache.
- Up to now we have avoided Wikidata lookup because it isn't amenable to caching. But, now we are shifting to direct search then it might be worth rethinking that.
- Expected sprint not before late Summer / early Fall. Nancy concerned about getting id.loc.gov: relationships, note types and RBMS vocabs. Asked whether these be used as a proof-of-concept to see how much effort the sprint will need?
- Norway made a successful pull request for the BIBBI vocabs (https://lookup.ld4l.org/authority_list)
- TODO Steven find the pull request.
- TODO Steven to create a set of issue for any cache-based lookups that are not used in our supported profiles
- 2023-03-09
- Best Practices for Authoritative Data working group (focus on Change Management)
- 2023-02-02
- Deciding how activity types meet the need of auth management with consideration of existing practice
- 2023-02-02
Other Topics
- POD & SHARE-VDE... should this team interact with that re: use cases, data analysis or other?
- 2023-03-17 - Draft MOU is being reviewed, suggestion of pilot to run through CY23
- Entity Management in FOLIO
- 2023-01-12 - environmental scan work is wrapped for the moment until we need more investigation. Use case dev has been a bit slow to take off - group is increasing in size and we are actively working to align with efforts underway between LC and EBSCO
- 2023-03-02 - Interest from EBSCO In QA in use case development sub-group
- CUL Authorities in FOLIO
- 2023-02-02 Starting some work on URIs in MARC, writing up new practices so more can follow in MARCEdit workflows. Will do some assessment
- BIBFRAME Interoperability Group (BIG) - Steven Cornell rep and Jason alternate
- 2022-10-27: They are joining for summit. Little to report at present otherwise.
- 2023-01-12: Met this week to go over Sinopia use of SHACL as a validating strategy. During the meeting there was a nice iteration on existing shapes based on clearer understanding of data needs. National Library of Sweden demoed their implementation of https://www.w3.org/2005/04/fresnel-info/.
