Steven Folsom keep track of cataloger perspective on work to support LC Names is in QA with context
2019-01-11 - Dave had added LCNAF to D.A.V.E. and Steven is working on the context needed for the search lookup UI.
2019-02-01 - Action yesterday. Working with Dave on whether that spreadsheet has all the right information.. may be resolved today?!
2019-02-08 - Answer to previous maybe is "no". Need input from David Eichmannin order to resolve question of whether spreadsheet has all the right information (particularly about need for prefLabel or not, language tags or not) → Steven Folsom will write up new issue and E. Lynette Raylewill review; Steven Folsomwill then follow up with Dave
2019-01-25: significant progress. refactored code showing context; fails on certain LD paths and doesn't expand out URIs (e.g.: if do broader, will only give URI, not URI + label) - has not yet attempted to correct.
2019-02-15 have 1 PR outstanding, will then have context with expansion if requested in config. Will then call refactor done and make major QA release
E. Lynette Rayle LDPath gem is doing load for graph every time it tries to access something (SLOW)... may need to fork LDPath gem to make more efficient since will not need to reload graph every time (for our use case)
Still issue with LDPath gem, working Chris Beer to resolve
E. Lynette Rayle (from discussion of LC Names in QA with context) 1) investigate & document algorithm for selection of languages with label and/or no label. In cases like AgroVoc where languages are handled well then we just want to document the (good) algorithm; but in other cases where language information is wrong we need to be able to turn that off (need more config for this)
2019-02-08 no update, will schedule "bang for buck" (BfB) meeting next week
2019-02-15 had meeting to go through spreadsheet, expect another meeting to fill out BfB/wow column. On Steven Folsom's plate decide whether another meeting with just Huda Khanor a larger group
2019-02-22 Discussion of whether we are doing anything that will impact our source (MARC) data or whether this work is just additions at the discovery layer (that may come from other sources such as SHARE-VDE clusters) – agreement that we are interested in experiments that will merge any useful data at the indexing stage. If we wanted to move any of this to production then we'd need to have conversations about linking in MARC but that could be done later / if / when. Huda Khanand Steven Folsomwill meet next week to come up with proposals with an assessment of tractability and wow factor.
Huda Khan is working on whether usability work on catalogs has been done internally as well as externally to CUL. Code4Lib journal and another has some details
2019-01-18: Have been looking at usability work and literature. Found some older material on Blacklight tests (when facets new), not so much after that. Some log analysis on SearchWorks. Also looking at linked data browser tools. Interesting dissertation from a few years ago on LD exploratory search. See discovery folder, literature exploration NOTES DOCUMENT, initial discussions with Tim regarding knowledge panels etc. , and also Stanford NOTES FROM LAST SUMMER
2019-02-15: Astrid is doing more user sessions in the next week or so. Huda will then review. Also discovery discussion group had a meeting. For reference, knowledge panel slides with screenshots/examples plus questions
2019-02-22 Huda Khan will schedule a DOG (discovery on the ground) meeting with goal of working toward plans/proposals for implementation (DIG) (flow DAG → DOG → DIG → DUG)
2019-02-08 no progress. In David Eichmann camp until data is added to DAVÉ → suggest that we should add these to the Tuesday meeting. ACTION E. Lynette Rayleto add to Tuesday meeting agenda
2019-02-22 See first issue, other items were prioritized for David Eichmannso circle back to this later
Jason Kovariwill discuss in LTS whether there a URIs from Share-VDE data that are useful and might be added to catalog
2019-02-22 ON HOLD until we have the real (with clusters) Cornell data back from Casalini (expected early March). Then have discussion in LTS – people will need to see / explore data before forming opinions on utility
Simeon Warner re: Enhanced Discovery work, will talk with Jessie about Stanford plans and then talk to budget & finance
2019-02-22 Still exploring remote work vs contract work, will need budget change approval
Questions (not expressed in https://github.com/LD4P/qa_server/issues/25 ) of how we index SHARE-VDE data. Doesn't seem feasible to do this differently for different institution's data but we don't have a good understanding of the plan to support copy cataloging. Casalini are providing institutions their own data but we expect to index for lookup the entire set of BF data
We don't know whether two MARC BIB records that are "the same" (e.g. same OCLC number) from different institutions will end up becoming one or two BF Instances?
Expect to send: Jason, Steven, Huda, Lynette, Simeon
Simeon has reserved minivan for Wed 8 through Sun 12 May
Jason to discuss whether to spend day or half-day with Harvard folks on Thursday (topics: Wikidata, reconciliation) → Everyone work on agenda document.
