Regrets: no Tim in our meetings anymore (sad)

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)
    • 2022-01-12
      • Work and video done. Huda is finishing up some documentation including how index is set up and where connections made
  • 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
      • 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)
    • 2022-01-14
      • Have focused on DASH recently
      • Curious about OpenAlex KB https://openalex.org/ and https://blog.ourresearch.org/openalex-launch/. "We’ve now built around a simple new five-entity model: works, authors, venues (journals and repositories), institutions, and concepts."
      • Possibly create report describing all of the data sources examine, affordances, limitations, overlap, etc. Steven notes significance of describing relationships and where useful data is found in model.
      • Design issues for works data - e.g. how to show to users different types of instance without one type dominating, how to build indexes, cataloging practices
  • DAG Calls
    • 2022-01-14 - Next call next Tuesday, will focus on topic roadmap and then talk about data (where does it come from and how does it show in discovery, and what other sources could be used?)

Linked-Data Authority Support (WP2)

  • Qa Sinopia Collaboration
    • 2022-01-14
      • Pagination merged, but not released.  Want to update linked data module to use new pagination before releasing.  Need to deal with backward compatibility for linked data module use of non-jsonapi parameters and output formatting for pagination.
      • Looked into intermittent failure to respond to some queries.  QA is logging `RDF::Graph#load EOFError` which implies it didn't get all the data from the cache.  Verifying the failing queries today, they all pass.  Dave doesn't report anything unusual in his logs.
      • Topic for next week's meeting: openness to add more vocabs and on-going prioritization of this work
  • Best Practices for Authoritative Data working group (focus on Change Management) 
  • Containerization
    • 2022-01-14
      • Future work:
        • Containerize Dave - perhaps Greg & Dave could start while Lynette works on best practices group
        • Move our own QA instance to use CloudFormation. Lynette needs to look at customization parts and get them into container version first
        • Maybe look at move from CloudFormation to Terraform

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.
    • 2022-01-14 Nothing new to report.
  • Authorities in FOLIO
    • 2022-01-14 Working on "deletes" workflow (actually deprecation with replacement process for references). Current workflow uses browse in Blacklight and benefits from links into FOLIO 
  • Upcoming presentations: Discussion on knowledge panels and Cornell Wikidata integration1/24 ARLIS/NA x Wikidata, and catalog form and function IG presentation March 11, 3-4pm (hope to also get Steven (smile))
