    • 2020-06-12
      • First meeting was last Monday (meeting notes).  Brainstorming fell into several categories of topics: Caching (and management of cached data), Reconciliation, Accuracy (of results and of selection) (including extended context and ordering of results), API Approach, Data Structure, Scalability.  
      • Creating a list of terminology with definitions.  Discussions happening in Slack about terminology definitions including a question about the definitions for Reconciliation and Entity Resolution.  I used definitions that were used in the first LD4L workshop which defined Reconciliation connecting Things-to-Things and Entity Resolution as connecting Strings-to-Things, but it was suggested that these are actually the same thing.
  • LD4P3 Planning
    • Stanford functional requirements document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/18H6zYGwKuCg3SZqm9Q_cxkZThcdmBjknE6HdtQ-RRzk/edit#heading=h.4fu64x8jzm6e
      • Possible relationship to entity management work in FOLIO
      • How much full LD vs linky-MARC?
      • CUL LTS working group is hoping to add URIs to MARC before FOLIO migration as a substitute for some of the heading management we do in Voyager in other ways. Perhaps won't be done ahead of switch but as part of the data migration. Considering how to update/maintain going forward
      • 2020-06-05 Agree that doing some analysis/write-up for the Cornell context would be good, ACTION for July
    • Greg has been working on setting up a copy of Cornell Blacklight
