Agenda & Notes

Review actions from 2018-11-16 Cornell LD4P2 Meeting notes

• Steven FolsomLC Names is in QA without going thru context workflow. Steven Folsomwill work with Huda Khan to set up.
  
  • 2018-11-16 - LC expect to have new bulk files with RWO in the next week
• Jason Kovari  Starting work on getting records to Casalini, will need to work out how to stage data we get back from Casalini
  
  • 2018-11-02 - CUL-IT and LTS are working on this - pull all our bibliographic records is cumbersome to process; on the queue for Pete Hoyt and Gary Branch
  • 2018-11-16 - think that this is being worked on by Pete/Gary
• Simeon Warner - set up homework to brainstorm D&A ideas on Google Doc, then set up longer session together to flesh out. Need to scan the large set of D&A issues: https://culibrary.atlassian.net/secure/RapidBoard.jspa?rapidView=19&projectKey=DISCOVERYACCESS&view=planning.nodetail

• Authority Lookups for Sinopia (Production QA instance: https://github.com/ld4p/qa_server/issues/)
  
  • QA Priorities: logging of use (not done yet Issue #28), then finish refactoring (no recent work), then performance (some reporting added) and/or new authorities
  • Lookups for LC NAF: experimenting with regular lc call but with Ajax requests to return context. Have RWO and sameAs coming back in search result-like display and next step is to do additional Ajax calls for rwo info (3xx fields), to generate prototype that can be used in testing. Huda is going to change prototype to work against QA for first search, but will then make other AJAX calls to LC to experiment with context data
    • Huda Khan and Astrid user tests & plans...
  • Wikidata as an authority
    • Christine and Steven discussed where to start with wikidata for authorities and think using Events is the bast place to start. Steven has created a repo https://github.com/LD4P/Wikidata – Steven thinking about Events and Christine/Marc thinking about Works. From initial exploration it seems that data from wikidata events might be more useful as extra information to display rather than as the basis for query; will likely need to look for several related properties as data not consistent
• Prep for Cataloging Sinatra and other 45's (Discogs data, https://github.com/ld4p/qa_server/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3ADiscogs)
  • Steven making some small changes in the annotations of the discogs JSON, Tim tracking this in the repository
