Discovery (WP3)

• BAM! WOW! (Browsing Across Music With Obtainable Wikidata)
  • 2023-09-21
    • BAM! WOW! work was developed, tested, and released (in August). There's early discussions about building on this work in future D&A sprints, e.g. 
      • Current SPARQL queries limit to English literals, and we wonder about bringing in other labels for certain cases. Also questions of what is being indexed in the authority record. Might lead to later refinements.
      • Steven will ask if/how much info buttons are being used to consider improvements and justifying cataloging work to make connections between datasets, e.g. LCNAF and Wikidata.

Linked-Data Authority Support (WP2)

• Qa Sinopia Collaboration - Meetings with Stanford will only occur on an as needed basis. Authority request issues: https://github.com/LD4P/qa_server/projects/1 (prioritized based on "important" authorities and ease of completion)

  • 1^st Sprint - 9/25-10/6 / 2^nd Sprint - 10/30-11/10

  • 2023-07-27

    • Planning for September sprint. Greg and Steven have gone through the workflow and Greg feels solid, Steven want to make sure that Matt/Christina work on the correct place/branch. Good way to address this would be to set up a first task for the sprint that Matt and Christina will take all the way through to production
    • Steven began a QA project in GitHub (https://github.com/LD4P/qa_server/projects/6#card-89976011), still needs work, more issues and tagging to make clear with the work is. Need to tease apart the first cache-less issue separate lookups with particular needs.
  • 2023-09-01
    • Greg - Ongoing issues of what lives in what repo and how connected. Could try to sort during the next sprint. Current instructions are good and we can get changes to production.
    • Steven - has pre-sprint meeting set up for next week. Issues in priority order in https://github.com/cul-it/qa_server/projects/2
      • Testing - Steven will add connection tests as new lookups are added to the service
      • Documentation - would be good to have some high-level documentation on a per-authority basis in addition to the code comments. Steven will work out where best to put this in the LD4P repo
      • Will add new issue to support to local static vocabs if there is time
  • 2023-09-21
