Agenda & Notes

Review actions from 2019-05-03 Cornell LD4P2 Meeting notes

...

• Enhanced Discovery (see also https://wiki.duraspace.org/x/sJI7Bg and https://github.com/LD4P/discovery/projects/1)

  • Huda on CUGIR last two weeks, hoping to get Lincoln mockups done and learnt about how to get more from Google Analytics data (can see how people got to request screen)
  • Tim has been working on parallel search
  • OCLC work ids seem like a promising way to connect from our records to wikidata (using the concordance file we got a while back). OCLC are working to add work ids directly into MARC records, and we would use them (though timeline fuzzy)
  • For reference, OCLC/SharedVDE analysis by U Chicago
• Authority Lookups for Sinopia (Lookup infrastructure: https://github.com/LD4P/qa_server/projects/2, Authority requests: https://github.com/LD4P/qa_server/projects/1)
  • ISNI
  • Wikidata
  • SVDE
  • RDA registry
• 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. 
  • The import data functionality (sometimes called "cloning") has been pushed off to milestone 5 for Sinopia so we cannot do Discogs integration based on the expect Sinopia release this summer. Next work cycle not scheduled until late Fall. Will need to decide how to move forward with cataloging experiments (perhaps start with 4 (8% of 50) records not in Discogs?) and/or whether to hack up some import for our work specifically
  • Getting Sinopia to a place where we can do this work
• Travel and meetings (see LD4P2 Cornell Meeting Attendances)
  
  • LD4P June 2019 Meeting: Agenda formation: https://wiki.duraspace.org/x/p4B7Bg
    
    • Partner meeting is day after cohort
    • Cohort discussion topics:
      • How do we handle SHARE-VDE data for cohort institutions in QA? Should these appear as a separate "authority" for each institution or as one commingled set? The latter is perhaps better for taking advantage of reconciliation and promoting improved ways of working with linked data
  • Other meetings
    • Blacklight Summit will be at Duke, dates not yet announced (Code4Lib slack indicates late fall/October perhaps)
      
      • Huda and/or Tim? Not sure whether a co-located BL ld4 workshop could happen
    • European Bibframe summit in September, call for proposals expected soon
      • Jason considering ARM/rare-cohort proposal
    • SWIB19 25-27 November (Thanksgiving week ) - call is out, extended deadline is 26 May 2019
      • Possibility of QA + Dave in container
      • Consider discovery proposal
    • Samvera Connect
      • Lynette to present on QA
    • 5th International LODLAM SUMMIT at the The Getty Center in Los Angeles. February 3-4, 2020
      
    • WikidataCon, Oct 25-26, 2019, Berlin, Germany
      
      • Hilary will propose talk
    • rdfs:seeAlso Conferences Related to Linked Data in Libraries
• Next meetings:
  • Think more about wikidata engagement
