Jason Kovari will continue functional requirements efforts, starting with workflow diagramming
Organizing cohort effort around this is on-hold until January; Jason has not yet made progress beyond: https://miro.com/app/board/o9J_lfXUUj8=/ ; will pick up work either before Break or immediately following
2020-12-18 January is a most auspicious time for the consideration of functional requirements
2021-01-08 "It may well be" but the jury is still out
E. Lynette Rayle to finalize the survey for cataloger user stories for PCC feedback and ranking by working group, check with IRB
2020-12-18 The simple summary of results are in review by the team with the intention to send it out to the broader community. A more detailed summary of the working group output including all levels of user stories is being developed in document Supporting cataloger inclusion of external authoritative data - COMMENTS WELCOME
Expect to finish up document in early January then consider possible new charter for the group
Demo and discussion with D&A User Reps and dev team – DONE
Implementation work
2020-12-11 Discogs is now in the official schedule for January D&A sprint
2021-01-08 D&A sprint starts next week. Tim will first work on getting the Discogs code into the D&A repo. Hope to demo to the user reps next Thursday. Greg also involved with moving the Blacklight servers to AWS, want to complete this with classes out of session
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
Updated the UI to be closer to the design from the mockup, although more work to be done
Top-level box for main information with horizontal layout of broader/narrower. Leaving out similar for the time being or will put in a separate box to keep the broader/narrower relationships clearer.
Created tabs to bring in library catalog results, digital collections, and eCommons. Running into some errors with the latter but technically the URL for the Solr collection (which is hosted on the same Solr as digital collections but not integrated with digital collection results) is correct.
Considered reusing the Bento Box results, but would need to extend the Bento Box configuration (perhaps?) or pass additional parameters to support subject field search (since we're targeting subject fields and not just regular keyword searches).
Library catalog and digital collection results using the JSON format from the Blacklight results. Repositories relying on direct Solr request
Need to also pick and implement a consistent styling across tabs
Need to update display/code to handle when sections not present (so as not to just show empty boxes/weird layout)
Wondering if
Tim started work on the agent/author side, some open questions where they are different enough to consider some different layout items (e.g. works by and works about)
2021-01-08 Huda has worked on DCP connection, Tim has been working on agents leveraging past work on knowledge panels to pull in LC data. Will move some calls into the server side. Greg has worked on moving Solr instances from original location into Solr cloud which will allow to retirement of a VM with EOL OS
Stanford off this week but have a conversation with Dave in regard to containerization work. Dave continues to work through issues
Steven went through the github board to look at everything that wasn't a data connection issue and provide advice where possible
We note LC announcement of more frequent updates
There is a known issue in Sinopia where a user creates an entity for a URI but bad RDF is created – discussed with PCC and hopes to prioritize. Lynette notes that QA has a way to do a cache-bypass fetch for a particular URI
Work went well. DB containerized in same way as local config. MariaDB image loaded into container
Working with Lynette, Greg set up some static volumes needed for use. Have found a way to use s3 buckets to manage data that users will have to update as authority files change
Have JSON version of task definition for AWS. Adopters will have to edit this to configure a new deployment
Have partial CloudFormation template to provision infrastructure if using AWS (Sinopia uses Terraform)
Will continue this work, finish CloudFormation template and set up CI/CD environment. Then will need to share with community and get feedback (currently just set up on VPN) – have planned to have Stanford & Dave try replicating first
2021-01-08 - Greg has containerized version of QA on AWS. Have CloudFormation template allowing others to do this. Next major task will be to write documentation to use application
2021-01-08 POCO prioritizing requests for additional QA authorities
PCC Task Group on Non-RDA Entities
2020-11-20 The PCC non-RDA report was finalized and submitted to POCO earlier this week
2020-12-04: on PoCo agenda for 1/14; more after that
Default branch name - WAIT until we can use github tools January 2021
Lynette is signed up to be a beta tester for github. Target for public release is end January
