Jason Kovari will kick off work on functional requirements
Jason working on pictures of edit workflows to parallel Stanford work, not much new this week
At the all-hands on Tuesday there was discussion of setting up a Miro board to capture workflows from participating institutions
E. Lynette Rayle to finalize the survey for cataloger user stories for PCC feedback and ranking by working group, check with IRB
2020-11-20 - Survey finalized. Slow response from IRB - got an ack but no detail yet, did training and think that IRB won't apply in this case because the purpose of the survey is merely process improvement
Tim Worrall will sort out code in LD4P3 repo and look at adding button to highlight Discogs field
2020-10-30 Tim is been working on this. Worked to improve speed by moving code from JavaScript to Rail but that had significant slowdown (~1s). Now doing search in the controller and then doing second call in JavaScript. Image comes back with first call. Thinking about timeout to avoid problems if Discogs response is slow
2020-11-20 Tim did demo of the highlight feature to user reps last week. Decision to highlight both the data and label for Discogs fields which Tim has now address. Yesterday Tim pushed code to LD4P3 repo so ready to go. Expect to be able to move to production in January sprint
Demo and discussion with D&A User Reps and dev team – DONE
Implementation work
2020-11-06 Didn't manage to get demo for User Reps on Nov 5 due to other pressures. Still making some tweaks to the layout and highlighting
Question of using QA vs going directly - will use Discogs directly for now to avoid adding QA
Will do demo next Friday for User Reps
Assuming User Reps approve to move forward, will plan to move code into LD4, add issues as part of D&A to add tests. Expect to deploy as part of January D&A sprint
2020-11-20 Tracey has provided examples of bib records with 024 $2 discogs for Frances and Tim to test out their code. Tim asked a great question about how much data we can expect in the bib from Discogs if the Discogs id is in the bib. This has prompted me to reach out to Tracey to establish local a policy for deciding what data is essential to include in the MARC record in order for it to be able to stand alone, and what can catalogers get away with not copying and pasting (and let Discogs feature pull in automatically). – Frances updated index to include this as `discogs_display` field, Tim will check this field for the id which will then go straight to discogs call, very simple change
2020-11-20 Essentially on-hold with this work until January D&A sprint though not much time before then anyway
Strand 2: research: how to go from knowledge graph to an index
First goal: DASH! dashboard (full page for entity) that extends on the idea of an embedded knowledge panel, aim to have functional prototype for end of year
DASH! (Displaying Authorities Seamlessly Here)
Dashboard design meeting kickoff notes - will also try to understand what our data will support or connections to other data sources
2020-11-20 Lynette will check in with Dave about getting the new indexing scheme out in production. Still a few outliers in the accuracy tests to check on with Dave and Steven. Stanford team aren't working on Sinopia right now
What does success look like? And then how do we get there?

PCC Sinopia Profiles Working group
2020-11-20 The PCC Sinopia Profiles Task Group Report was discussed at yesterday's POCO call, and it prompted big questions about where in the PCC will these profiles (or the platform agnostic version of them will live and be maintained). There will be a meeting in December with POCO, LOC NetDev, and Sinopia folks to discuss this.
PCC Task Group on Non-RDA Entities
2020-11-20 The PCC non-RDA report was finalized and submitted to POCO earlier this week. It will be discussed at a future meeting.
Steven consulted with Kevin Ford on how publication frequency is modeled in BF. This could lead to an added node... classic RDF math, with a layer of abstraction in order to provision for frequencies that change over time and/or need to be qualified with exceptions to the rule. Steven has reached out to LTS folks to see how we query the data in MARC to understand what useful queries would look like (there are 2 places for this data with some variants in our MARC data, not always up-to-date, shows as Frequency field in Blacklight (perhaps from 310 rather than 321, or 008))
