Charter:
Under Construction
Scope & Objectives
This group will explore best practices for authorities that want to share their metadata through a linked data search API. In this charter, the group will explore and make recommendations for change management of authoritative data. We will define the common types of changes, determine the format for conveying changes to downstream consumers, and specify tooling options for publishing changes that allow for cached data to be synced and updated. This work is specifically looking to provide recommendations that allow for the creation of a common toolset that works across authorities supported by different agencies.
This group should be comprised of a balance of members from multiple authority providers, authority consumers, and tool developers. Members need to be able to commit to the following deliverables and timeframe.
Deliverables & Timeframe
Anticipated deliverables will include:
Documentation on common types of changes that happen in authoritative data
- Specification for expressing changes that have occurred in authoritative data
Recommendations for tooling to create and consume changes to authoritative data
The group will begin meeting in late spring 2021 (approximately mid April or early May). The group will meet for 1 hour every other week and its sunset date will be approximately 4 months after the start date. If more time is required, a new working group charter will be created.
Meeting Times & Communication Channels
TODO: Make a call for participation by inviting authority providers, authority data consumers, and applications developers that make authority data available to consumers.
TODO: Select a regular schedule for meetings using Doodle. Previous working group met every other Monday at 9am PT, 12pm ET, 6pm CEST. This will be proposed as a time if it works for participants.
- Meeting notes recording action items and provisional decisions will be in the LD4P3 wiki linked from this page
Meetings, meeting minutes, deliverables, and milestones will be announced on LD4 google group, LD4P google group, and Samvera-Tech google group.
There is a dedicated Slack channel for asynchronous communication at slack: authority_api_wg
