Agenda & Notes

Review actions from 2018-10-19 Cornell LD4P2 Meeting notes

• Steven FolsomLC Names is in QA without going thru context workflow. Steven Folsomwill work with Huda Khan to set up.
  
  • From Huda's work with catalogers to test context around names, they expect 3xx info which is on the RWO in the RDF and it seems that the RWOs are not in the dumps from LC. LC thinks they should be there but Steven and Dave cannot find the data, they seem the RWO entities only in the object position of some triples. Huda also notes that the profiles in the BFE dev instance at LC do not link to the RWO but instead link to the authority. Will continue working with LC to understand/resolve.
• Tim Worrall would like to convert drawing from the wall; will add to the Sinatra repo, as well
  • Done: https://github.com/LD4P/ld4p2-cornell/blob/master/Sinatra/Discogs/Discogs_QA_Sinopia_Flowchart.png
• Steven Folsomand Simeon Warner to explore what BFE does with JSON-LD input data in order to frame questions going forward about what Sinopia needs to be able to copy data in
  
  • See https://zimeon.github.io/bfe-data/
  • Will continue to investigate to see whether flatten and then compact is a general solution to making data readable by BFE
• Steven Folsom to reach out to Astrid about possible Stanford participation in US2TS and will coordinate proposal
  •  Steven will do this...
• Issues: https://waffle.io/LD4P/ld4p2-cornell
  
  • Jason starting work on getting records to Casailini, will need to work out how to stage data we get back from Casalini
    
    

Status updates and planning

• LD4P2 meeting post-mortem
  • Cohort members asked for more homework
    • Suggestion from Huda was to suggest that they look at vanilla BFE
    • Keep discussion of requests for authority support requests (we have one since the meeting)
    • ... how do we move ahead with this? 
• Authority Lookups for Sinopia (Production QA instance: https://github.com/cul-it/qa_server/issues/)
  
  • QA Priorities: update lookup.ld4l.org to use engine (done pending deployment), keeping historical data (done pending deployment), logging of use (not done yet Issue #28), then finish refactoring (no recent work), then performance (some reporting added) and/or new authorities
  • Lookups for lcnaf: experimenting with regular lc call but with Ajax requests to return context. Have rwo and sameAs coming back in search result-like display and next step is to do additional Ajax calls for rwo info (3xx fields), to generate prototype that can be used in testing
  • Still blocked with Beanstalk deployment in ways we don't yet understand. Lynette is working with Greg on this and keeping track of status at https://confluence.cornell.edu/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=361450475
• Prep for Cataloging Sinatra and other 45's (Discogs data)
  
  • Tim Worrall to create a set of issues in qa_server repo to describe work for supporting Discogs in QA (because we don't want LD4P specific tickets in QA)
• Enhanced Discovery
  • Simeon and Tom to start up D&A affinity group
  • How do we get useful ideas for discovery to take back to Cornell D&A?
    • We want to generate wireframes of ideas
    • Need to scan the large set of D&A issues: https://culibrary.atlassian.net/secure/RapidBoard.jspa?rapidView=19&projectKey=DISCOVERYACCESS&view=planning.nodetail
    • Simeon Warner - set up homework to brainstorm ideas on Google Doc, then set up longer session together to flesh out
• Travel and meetings
  • LD4P2 Cornell Meeting Attendances
