Regrets: none

Discovery (WP3)

  • https://github.com/LD4P/discovery/projects/2 for issues etc. 
  • Draft of a discovery plan: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zKYW7FQVVNvyd0XjjW0qWznX9PC3jbmOE6Kz_yygPjs/edit?usp=sharing
  • Research: how to go from knowledge graph to an index
  • DASH! (Displaying Authorities Seamlessly Here)
  • BANG! (Bibliographic Aspects Newly GUI'd)
    • Jamboard link
    • Expect to include Works. Need to do something beyond what we already have live from the OCLC concordance data.
    • 2021-12-10
      • ISBNs and LCCNs returned from LOC Hubs navigation (focusing for translation hubs at the moment) now tied to Solr lookups and returning results in page
      • Worked on seeing if I could set up a proxy controller to get IMDB page and retrieve the JSON-LD with the Schema.org markup (and it seems to work!)
      • Also reviewed some articles around discovery/visual representations based on FRBR/BIBFRAME, etc.: (Google doc). Objective: Identify possible use cases for discovery using work-instance relationships as well as look at examples of interface design for representing this information
        • Perhaps easier to demonstrate usefulness of BIBFRAME/semantic model for more complex use cases (although article focused on visualizations and found visualizations were effective regardless of complexity when compared with a faceted results view)
      • To dos: Still need to use the work to work relationships data (which is based on a partial query run) (i.e. related, etc.) and bring that to the page.  Will try to get that done by end of year. 
        • Using Wikidata relationships between item and IMDB to get appropriate IMDB link 
        • Design work/review options for displaying information to users (works/instances and how/whether to modify the current catalog view focus on item)
    • 2021-12-17 - have focused on DASH!
  • DAG Calls
    • 2021-12-03 - next Tuesday, last call of 2021! Recap slides to be made, and hope for some discussion on people's thoughts regarding topics and ideas for next year

Linked-Data Authority Support (WP2)

  • Qa Sinopia Collaboration
    • 2021-12-17 
      • Worked with Dave to get the LOC Cultural Heritage Organization data in the cache and configured for access through the lookup service.  It was released to the production lookup service this morning.  PR in Sinopia to configure access to this authority.  Nancy is waiting on this to finish some template work.
      • Worked with Jim Hahn to deploy a fix to the publisher cities data to remove duplicates.  This was also part of the deploy.
      • Working to add pagination to QA for yml file based authorities, which for Sinopia will only impact publisher cities.  The other two yml file based authorities are too small for pagination.  There will be a release of QA followed by another release of the lookup service.
  • Best Practices for Authoritative Data working group (focus on Change Management) 
    • 2021-12-17
      • No change in status.  On hiatus until 4th week in January.  I will be working on the documentation rewrite while the group is off.  Overview of the architecture and flow are being organized in Entity Metadata Management Architecture
  • Containerization
    • 2021-12-17
      • Justin testing at Stanford.  This was the last week of the Sinopia sprint.  Not sure if he will have any time to continue working on this in the new year.
      • Future work:
        • Maybe look at move from CloudFormation to Terraform
        • Containerize Dave
        • Move our own QA instance to use CloudFormation. Lynette needs to look at customization parts

Other Topics

  • Github branch renaming
    • See Renaming of LD4P Repositories – cul/blacklight-cornell now uses main but still has the old master branch too
    • Expect to be able switch this in LD4P as part of D&A work
  • Sinolio - Sinopia-FOLIO
    • 2021-12-17 - Work Cycle finished, sprint video out
  • OCLC Linked Data / Entities Advisory Group
    • 2021-12-10 OCLC presented at bigheads meeting this week, in testing
  • ISNI - made a soft launch of LOD this week. Shhh... they are providing data dumps now, dereferenceable LOD sometime in 2022. https://isni.org/page/linked-data/
  • PCC 
    • 2021-10-27 Definitions and non-RDA examples in MARC examples continued to shift, but should be able to finalize the spreadsheet that generates the RDF today.
    • 2021-12-10 Nothing new to report.
  • Authorities in FOLIO
    • 2021-11-19 Julia walked group through what deletes would take in the current plan, it would be challenging to do this using a combination of Blacklight, Connexion, and FOLIO. Jenn and Nick suggested thinking about FOLIO authorities app (to keep us in FOLIO for search, copying, and editing in BIBs), timeline for EBSCO work on authorities app is ingest/search in Lotus (April)
    • 2021-12-10
      • Frances working to parse data and then Nick will use data via API to generate report. Expect the need to iterate.
      • Jenn did some analysis on copy of old Voyager data to look which controlled identifiers might be pull into BIBs
