Request a New Dataset for QA

!!!!DRAFT!!!!! 

This is a guide for LD4P2 Partners (cohort and PCC affiliates included) on how to request a new dataset to be added to QA so corresponding lookups can be added to Sinopia (the LD4P2 supported BIBFRAME editor).

Email Steven Folsom (sf433 @ cornell dot edu) with related questions or comments on how to improve this guide.

Steps

1.) Make sure the dataset is not already in QA

Go to the Authorities tab on http://elr37-dev.library.cornell.edu/ (a temporary site until http://lookup.ld4l.org/ is live) to see if the dataset of interest is already available in QA.

2.) Identify the dataset

Identify the dataset and gather information about how to acquire data dumps and/or API access. (You will be asked for this information along with the dataset's homepage URL when making a formal request as GitHub issue, see Step #.)

3.) Decide what contextual information should be provided  as a lookup

As you might know by now, QA has the ability to provide contextual information about an entity (not just preferred labels) during the look-up experience.  In order to do so, decisions need to be made about how to index the dataset's RDF. Using this spreadsheet, add a tab for the new dataset. For each new tab, please use the following column headers and value guidelines (see the existing LCGT tab as an example):

4.) Add Test parameters using a YAML file
