Agenda & Notes
Review actions from 2020-04-24 Cornell LD4P2 Meeting notes
- E. Lynette Rayle QA performance
- 2020-04-17 Did an analysis sorting response time by complexity and size but it didn't show a clear picture, will try a little more analysis next week. When Ligatus and CERL were added - why is Ligatus fast and CERL slow? Dave expects to have more time soon
- 2020-04-24 Lynette did an analysis of performance to try to understand whether speed is clearly related to data size or complexity of extended context. Result are that there isn't clear correlation. Tried to parallelize parts of QA and in some places saw slowdown, one place found speed improvement where the complexity is high. However, in the complex cases the times are often still rather long (0.5–2s) but not markedly longer than somewhat less complex queries. Still the worst cases are because of the retrieve time from Dave's cache, he is looking at why CERL is slow when we might not expect it to be. Unfortunately no clear path to improving everything from the QA side: Lynette will try to understand why the OCLCFAST graph load is so slow.
- E. Lynette Rayle to set up best practices working group around linked data APIs for authorities → documenting on Linked Data API Best Practices for Authoritative Data Working Group, with target start in early May
- 2020-04-17 Heard from Christine @ Harvard, Rob @ Getty, Kirk @ OCLC, likely ISNI, nothing from wikidata, have also asked Samvera community – have enough to move forward with a meaningful working group
- 2020-04-24 Yes from wikidata, will start early to mid-May
Status updates and planning
- Enhanced Discovery - WHAM! (see also https://wiki.duraspace.org/x/sJI7Bg and https://github.com/LD4P/discovery/projects/1)
- See: Organizing doc and Pseudonym thoughts
- See updates in organizing doc
- John thinks that any code changes we will make for this work will be to the Blacklight gem rather than to the Cornell code. May be able to make a gem that is applied to the Blacklight gem.
- Plan to review use cases and scenarios with Jenn & Frances, maybe also catalogers involved in authority work
- Authority Lookups for Sinopia (Lookup infrastructure: https://github.com/LD4P/qa_server/projects/2, Authority requests: https://github.com/LD4P/qa_server/projects/1)
- 2020-04-03 Recently done: cleaned up and updated UBER Issue for Authorities (#253), UBER Issue for Indexing (#239), OCLC FAST cache vs. direct (Sinopia #2125), Use Case: Authority Lookup UI option in place of auto-complete (Sinopia #2123)
- Travel and meetings (see LD4P2 Cornell Meeting Attendances)
- LD4P2 remote partner meetings
- Sinopia topics
- Possible need for lookups and not just auto-complete to meet cataloger needs: https://github.com/LD4P/sinopia_editor/issues/2123
- Sinopia topics
- Knowledge Graph Conference (Columbia University), May 6-7, workshops 5/4-5/5
- Now remote and Huda confirmed, sticking with original dates, May 7, 2:20pm in 20min slot
- Blacklight summit happening May 7,8 virtual
- LD4 Conference 2020 at College Station, TX (TAMU) - May 13/14, 2020
- Planning going ahead for meeting to work out virtual presentations. There was a survey of presenters to understand how they might want to present. Steven likes the idea of recorded sessions followed by office hours.
- DCMI was 9/14-9/17, Ottawa - now postponed 'til Fall 2021
