Steven has confirmed with Dave to move ahead with SVDE data, and shared feedback with SVDE who note problems with source MARC. Steven following up on possible conversion changes but might also inform our MARC practices
- OCLC naming alignment is complete. 3 subauths were added to QA for the cache (i.e. form, period, topic). Steven updated the labels to do the alignment in the Sinopia configuration. Ref: Issue #2125 expected changes, PR #3353 - merged yesterday

- Documentation is complete and has been tested locally by Huda and will be tested by a dev at Stanford. We made many refinements based on Huda's questions and feedback. We encouraged Stanford to connect with Greg and Lynette in slack when they start working on their deploy. We will update the docs further based on their questions and feedback. Sinopia Issue #326 requests testing of the deploy process.
- Issues are being opened when remaining work is identified. Next step for qa_server_container is to add a template to redeploy with a new image.
- In next meeting discuss plans for work to containerize cache based on what we have learned in this work

- 2021-11-19 Moved away from Wikibase, could mean they reuse properties (at least rdf:type, rdfs:label, etc.) There will be a subscription for accessing the editor, and APIs. Not part of the cataloger subscription, but expect news soon(?) about . LOD with be published. Asked how they would justify the extra cost... they believe there’s a value for libraries to contribute data so that it’s shared.

- 2021-11-04 Laura, Julia, Jenn and Steven met this week to discuss getting URIs in our MARC records. We're going to try to abide by the same decisions reflected in OCLC's export options for URIs. Because every imaginable process for getting URIs relies on string matching we're meeting again next week to define scope and matching algorithms so that we're not adding a bunch of bad URIs.
