  • Tim Worrall and Steven Folsom  to try the load tab with data from Discogs and an appropriate template.
    • Steven continuing to work on profiles; he's on vacation for 2 weeks starting 8/12 so expect no template progress.
    • 2019.08.16: 10 resource templates were pushed. Next week Tim Worrallwill have time to load those locally on his instance and then try to load n3 generated via QA. Update forthcoming
    • 2019-08-30 - Can't get n3 to load when it references more than one template. Tim Worrallwill explore further and report bug if it is
  • E. Lynette Rayle  will work with Michelle to develop a prioritization process. Steven Folsom is starting the slack thread b/t Michelle and Lynette
  • Simeon Warner to speak with Dave to better understand his capacity

  •  Issues:

...

  • Kaleidoscope article: https://cornellprod.sharepoint.com/sites/cul/kscope/default.aspx#technical
  • 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. Sinopia work through work cycle 4 will include the ability to read in RDF back from Trellis. We hope that we can leverage this to import RDF from a lookup in Discogs or ShareVDE
    • Waiting for Work Cycle 2 to understand whether the derivation/cloning work item will happen during Fall
    • 2019.08.16: Sinopia 1.0 released and they're looking for bug testers. catalogers can start working soon. 
      • Tracey has a student working thru all of the 45s to identify which are not in discogs so we can catalog those first
      • Need remainder of resource templates completed and added to Sinopia. Then can start people working.
  • Enhanced Discovery (see also https://wiki.duraspace.org/x/sJI7Bg and https://github.com/LD4P/discovery/projects/1)

    • Can do demo for below and discuss what we need to do to wrap up KPAOW
    • KPAOW plan: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XuXH9n1YOhZY9cJhalA6ceTjOSpJrCsveoRgZyAUfwc/edit
    • Huda's user testing write-up
      • 2019.08.09: still being written. Will try and share when back from vacation
      • 2019.08.30: Not done yet but should be by next meeting
    • Linking Works to wikidata
      • 2019.08.16: Checked OCLC work ids in concordance file with wikidata... and about 1/600 return results. Worked thru about 5% of the concordance file. 
      • Can consider other use cases beyond clustering of works; examine which other data might yield results.
      • Series chronology, derivative works. Steven has some thoughts and will share with John.
    • Discogs within KPAOW 
      • 2019.08.16: demo from Tim - Two by Toot. WOAH! so much more data plus an image – along with highlights that reference data coming from discogs. 
      • Started working on linking genres to subjects... doing SOLR query on subject facet. 
      • Question: are you running checks to see if, e.g.: publisher is different between our catalog v. wikidata/discogs
      • Example of Coltrain at Newport '63 and Tyner live at Newport '63... need to ensure there are sufficient checks to prevent false matches
      • Application around directly identifying discogs URIs and/or 
    • Subject headings (demo by Huda)
      • knowledge panels for authorized subjects. at bottom of knowledge panel has digital collections results
      • FAST in JSTOR Forum for these items are not yet in SOLR. Using JSTOR Forum API. Will try to get a few examples working – to see if we have the connection, what it would look like.
      • next steps: working on navigation within the KP. 
      • link to digital collections and link to wikidata. When go to icon, how does user know which is which (UX concern). 
      • indentation increases screen real estate – interesting to address 
      • John has been working on the other influenced, expanding/collapsing, sorting.
  • Authority Lookups for Sinopia (Lookup infrastructure: https://github.com/LD4P/qa_server/projects/2, Authority requests: https://github.com/LD4P/qa_server/projects/1)
    • Lynette update from slack:
      • LCNAF - Dave has a fix for the blank node bug which I will be testing today or Monday at the latest
      • ShareVDE - There are more online on Dave’s system. Monday when I am back on the LD4P project for two weeks.
        Plan for next week…
      • LCNAF: Test Dave’s bug fix. If this is good, we should be able to roll out RWO & authority based configs this week.
      • LCMPT: Work with Dave on LCMPT to get it to return Skos allowing for extended context.
      • LC: Validate extended context for remaining LC authorities.
      • ShareVDE: Create configs for newly available ShareVDE and update Sinopia config to make them accessible through Sinopia.
      • Polish off the performance code. There is a problem on AWS getting imagemagick to display graphs. I’m working with Greg to see if we can figure out why. I also want to add graphs for each individual authority to get a better understanding of performance issues.
      • I am planning to add background job processing of QA to improve concurrency throughput.
