NCE update

  • Travel - expecting larger team meeting in DC and also a Stanford

Linked-Data Authority Support (WP2)

  • Qa Sinopia Collaboration - Meetings with Stanford will only occur on an as needed basis
    • Steven asked Dave to meet next week to go over remaining Authority request issues, https://github.com/LD4P/qa_server/projects/1 (which has be prioritized based on "important" authorities and ease of completion)
    • 2022-06-17 Steven will work with Greg next Friday (June 24) to update the QA authorities
    • 2022-06-23 Steven closed out a bunch of wont-fix issues that would have required major organization to provide additional context. Current implementations are usable. Also working with Dave to understand whether some other issues are config changes in QA or SPARQL changes. Steven working on setting up context for FAST
  • Best Practices for Authoritative Data working group (focus on Change Management) 
    • No meeting this week, nor on July 4
    • Steven will work to make changes agreed in last meeting (being clear on minimal implementation and patch as optional)
    • Will have conversation about process at next meeting and perhaps think of smaller active editorial group
  • Containerization 
    • Containerizing the QaServer 
      • 2022-06-04 Old Elasticbeanstalk QA server shut down. Will do remaining tidy to delete old environment
    • Containerizing the Cache Indices
      • 2022-06-03 Lucene index server working on AWS, had a good experience building with Terraform. Dave confirmed data good. Will reach out to Dave next week to talk about how to move forward. Current process for getting a new index up is to put is in S3 and when container starts up it copies this from S3

Discovery (WP3)

  • https://github.com/LD4P/discovery/projects/2 for issues etc. 
  • Research: how to go from knowledge graph to an index
  • 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.
    • References/bibliography list (beginning)
    • BANG! preliminary design-ish/data questions link
    • 2022-06-23
      • Prototype:
        • From MARC, reading in Sinopia URI for work, getting other instances and related identifiers, and sequels of the work and their instances and related identifiers.  Bringing in catalog results for these identifiers and displaying on page.
        • In the process of setting up a dedicated work page which will include other forms, sequels/prequels, movie adaptations, works about this work, and other works by the author (we have examples for all these in the catalog)
      • Data modeling
        • Steven has modeled the sequels and other forms and work about.  Movie adaptation will need to be an LC URI in the main Dune book entry,
          • Huda had a discussion with Frances if there are any numerical identifiers we can use to look up movies in the catalog but don't appear to be.  The movie does have a uniform title (also represented by LC URI in LCNAF for the movie). Frances points out we do not usually want to search by uniform title, but in this one case, it does work so we will use the approach for now and make a note that this is now how we would want to proceed in general.
      • Index
        • Greg will work on updating the Solr index tomorrow with the latest from production
      • Usability testing
        • Have preliminary set of tasks
          • Decided not to include any ILL/works at other institutions in this round.  Would like to dedicate a future round to focus on that area specifically
        • Considering moving test times from beginning of next week to later next week (or even the week after) depending on how far we get by early next week. Will also allow for further design review with Astrid and Steven
          • June 30 - July 12 (giving us a little time before our 7/14 presentation to define preliminary results)
        • IRB update is done
        • Waiting on finance department to see if we are ok with gift cards
