- Blacklight LD @ Stanford
- Expecting white paper on knowledge panels - John Skiles Skinnerand others working on draft to be finished soon
- Blacklight @ Duke
- Debrief...
- Prep for Cataloging Sinatra and other 45's (Discogs data, https://github.com/ld4p/qa_server/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3ADiscogs)
- AWAITING more work in Sinopia to import data. Sinopia work cycle 2 (through December 6) will we hope 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. STARTING with items not in DIscogs
- Steven working on modeling tutorial and Sinopia functionality, hope this will help get cataloger started. Feedback was that some model understanding is necessary to do the cataloging work and that training is essential, even for staff that have worked with VitroLib at some time in the past (over a year ago)
- Sinatra/BIBFRAME/Sinopia slide deck: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1WObcmFQhU5u4KmIl4SM7Q0-9ERiuq7x68cATenT2mOY/edit?usp=sharing
- Sinopia team asked whether Sinatra profiles up-to-date, Steven has uploaded minor revisions so there are in place
- Enhanced Discovery (see also https://wiki.duraspace.org/x/sJI7Bg and https://github.com/LD4P/discovery/projects/1)
- BAM! (to run through end October)
- For reference: Initial draft of BAM plan
- John looking at browsing with time eras (currently a facet in Cornell catalog). Have found that these are not always based on FAST, Jason suggests $y with LCSH as source for some. Complicates the issue but still seems possible, not clear how to link to outside data and distinguish from the current faceting
- John also working on connection to Open Syllabus project that has a notion of classes that assigned texts (based on discussions from BL LD summit)
- Tim looking at expanding subject browse on work or item view page to give access to broader and narrower concepts. Using OCLC work id → FAST topics → LCSH → broader and narrower. Some of these make clear sense but others, like from "Family" explode, thinking of UI approaches that might help a user see the more useful links over the "exploding" cases → Maybe look at demo next week? Jason points out that cataloging practice is to use the most specific terms possible, so narrower terms might not be very useful in describing the item. Not sure how the idea of narrower terms fits with user browse goals
- Possible collaboration with U Chicago over usability. Discussion around possibilities?
- EBSCO tool demo (vocabularies/data)?
- BAM! (to run through end October)
- 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 will focus on Hyrax Valkyrization and Samvera Connect prep next week
- Has done more performance AWS productions servers, similar results to previous laptop analysis. Mean delays around 3s total with 2.5s being network load from Dave. The 10th percentile is a small fraction of a second which rules out a consistent network latency (time to first byte). Some suggestion that large responses drive longer times and thus suggests bandwidth or Dave query/response times as the culprit
- Lynette will continue with some Locust swarm tests on production server (outside of work hours) and work with Dave to better understand the delays from his end
