Agenda & Notes

Review actions from 2019-04-26 Cornell LD4P2 Meeting notes

Status updates and planning

  • Enhanced Discovery (see also https://wiki.duraspace.org/x/sJI7Bg and https://github.com/LD4P/discovery/projects/1)

    • Tim exploring parallel query to dbpedia/wikidata along with catalog query
    • Huda - looking  at catalog search log data
      • In GA what do "(entrance)" and "/" mean for starting point? These are the two with significant numbers of searches
      • Matomo has information about referrer which shows some small number of searches coming in from a selection of search engines, but since we don't allow search engines to index the catalog this is an odd/biased subset and not very informative
      • Looking at first results from GA and Matomo we see mostly searches for journals, databases and various services. We don't yet know how to get at search terms that are entered into the catalog directly with intent/understanding  of search for items that are likely in the catalog  → who to speak with to understand this better?
  • Authority Lookups for Sinopia (Lookup infrastructure: https://github.com/LD4P/qa_server/projects/2, Authority requests: https://github.com/LD4P/qa_server/projects/1)
  • Prep for Cataloging Sinatra and other 45's (Discogs data, https://github.com/ld4p/qa_server/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3ADiscogs)
    • ON HOLD pending more work in Sinopia to import data.
