Enhanced Discovery (see also https://wiki.duraspace.org/x/sJI7Bg and https://github.com/LD4P/discovery/projects/1)
- Tim exploring parallel query to dbpedia/wikidata along with catalog query
- Huda - looking at catalog search log data
- In GA what do "(entrance)" and "/" mean for starting point? These are the two with significant numbers of searches
- Matomo has information about referrer which shows some small number of searches coming in from a selection of search engines, but since we don't allow search engines to index the catalog this is an odd/biased subset and not very informative
- Looking at first results from GA and Matomo we see mostly searches for journals, databases and various services. We don't yet know how to get at search terms that are entered into the catalog directly with intent/understanding of search for items that are likely in the catalog → who to speak with to understand this better?
- Key result from Astrid's user tests is that undergrads do see benefit in author knowledge panels
- Tim has set up a copy of the D&A system on dev VM using the production Solr index (with special query so it can be tracked separately from real traffic). Will work with Huda to explore adding code to implement some of the mockup additional lookups in a copy of our catalog
- Authority Lookups for Sinopia (Lookup infrastructure: https://github.com/LD4P/qa_server/projects/2, Authority requests: https://github.com/LD4P/qa_server/projects/1)
- 2019-04-26 SF added context for SVDE entities to spreadsheet, needs review. Still need to write tests. Side note: SF is looking at SVDE's Stardog SPARQL endpoint to see if it's more performant than DAVE.
- 2019-04-26 Lynette has discussed with Dave and he expects #69 and #53 to be done by end Monday, and then #70 to follow shortly after. #69 unblocks pushing ldpath work without network access up to the live server. Working to get #64, #44, #61 done in live in time for the LD4 conference
- A number of issue ready to deploy, Lynette hopes to get text entry of queries ( https://github.com/LD4P/qa_server/issues/44) in time for the meeting next week
- Huda demonstrates first demo search of LCNAMES and LCSH together. Currently has cache issue (shows old result until new one given) and also has synchronous compilation of both calls, rather the independent display → https://github.com/LD4P/qa_server/issues/96Huda will add issue about showing context in Sinopia as demo for LD4 meeting
- Prep for Cataloging Sinatra and other 45's (Discogs data, https://github.com/ld4p/qa_server/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3ADiscogs)
- ON HOLD pending more work in Sinopia to import data.
