  • Wikimedian-in-residence Cornell visit
    • Steven is leading organization, have suggested a draft agenda to review with Hilary
  • Cohort engagement 
  • Discovery developer search
  • Authority Lookups for Sinopia (Production QA instance: https://github.com/ld4p/qa_server/issues/)
    • Lynette has worked with Greg to get pingdom monitoring up for the QA server. Lynette will get notification if down.
  • Prep for Cataloging Sinatra and other 45's (Discogs data, https://github.com/ld4p/qa_server/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3ADiscogs)
    • Tim – The tests are done and I've moved issue 36 to review/pending. I'll close all 3 related issues once the pull request is into QA and accepted. Before doing the PR, I ran Rubocop on all the Discogs code, and as a result had to do some refactoring. (It was news to me that methods can only be 14 lines long and modules 100.) This work is just about done, then I'll do the PR.
  • Sinatra Profile Work
  • Enhanced Discovery (see also https://wiki.duraspace.org/x/sJI7Bg)
    • "DOG": Discovery on the Ground.  A few meetings in with an evolving set of participants.
      • Objective: A better understanding of the problem space.  What questions and areas of development hold promise for prototypes and for more near-term concrete implementations we can roll out at our institutions, and how can we contribute this work back to the technological communities (e.g. back to the Blacklight core code)?
      • Have done some brainstorming and gathering of information/context.  Astrid should be ready to report on user interviews by next week.  Meeting planned for Monday so may have a better sense of concrete ideas to test with mockups and prototypes (that would be good to try at some point).
      • May be good to begin involving Cornell D&A/Usability group "on the ground" participants, based on availability/interest
  • Travel and meetings (see LD4P2 Cornell Meeting Attendances)
    • US2TS
      • Huda notes interesting intersection between ontologies and machine learning, good to know what has been done practically
      • What might we learn about discovery investigations?
      • Panel is about domain knowledge graphs – excitement about our work was primarily about how to make connections between datasets. Good to get feedback on use of QA (screen shots: Tim Worrall want screenshot supporting the story "I searched for a work in discogs, results show extended context to allow selection of correct record, application returns BIBFRAME RDF derived from Discogs JSON, ready to be included as a new work in cataloging tool. Note no URI to reuse from Discogs, have to create one but retain local Discogs identifier in data.", QA/BFE - slide 33 and on in SWIB slides https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1V64pncM5DnJJfY3-9SwT3iCzlKF9iLa3CQfxscK1_dI/edit#slide=id.g4826bbbf7e_0_39)
