Linked-Data Authority Support (WP2)

  • Qa Sinopia Collaboration - Meetings with Stanford will only occur on an as needed basis. Authority request issues: https://github.com/LD4P/qa_server/projects/1 (prioritized based on "important" authorities and ease of completion)
    • 2022-12-07
    • Steven is still working on plan to use non-cached lookups. Struggling a little to get a list of just the PCC template lookups.
    • Trying to wade through MESH related issues.Was asked about possibly renewing the cache in January when the 2023 update is available. Trying to encourage direct API usage. E.g. https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/swagger/ui
    • Made pull request in Sinopia for MESH subauths already in QA but not yet available in Sinopia.
    • 2022-12-15
      • Steven (with help from Justin L.) able to identify PCC Template lookups
        • Completed a table including the lookup, LC's API if applicable, QA Direct Lookup if available, how often the data changes, and other thoughts when there was a unique issue with a lookup.
        • Wondering if next step is to try to identify highly used templates (not limited to PCC) so that we can better understand the demand for lookups. Decision yes.
        • TODO
          • Add a section for non-PCC lookups that are highly used.
          • Add approximate size of each dataset.
      2023-01-05
      • Steven added sections to the "Less reliance on caching" planning document to account for heavy Sinopia Users (Nat. Library of Norway and University of Washington). Each has a slightly different emphasis in terms of lookups.
      • Broadly speaking we have the following questions:
        • With no plan for a continued cache for Getty, do we want to look into Getty APIs?
        • Dave is going to refresh MESH for 2023. Do we need a plan for after 2023? Their model/queries are a little more complicated than others, size is relatively big.
        • RDA is made up of a bunch of very small static vocabularies. How low can we rely on Dave’s existing cache for these?
          • Do we add these as static lookups in QA?
        • For LOC vocabularies, what plan needs to be in place for switching to LOC APIs? E.g. Data will be more up to date, but it will lack the same context.
          • Can we add “direct” lookups through QA?
        • ISNI and DBpedia are large dynamic datasets. Would we consider direct lookups for these?
        • Big Question: Do we rely on separate data source APIs? Or add “direct” lookups in QA?
    • 2023-01-13
      • Steven has done as much as he can for now on document
      • We should plan to share our information with colleagues at Stanford well before trip
      • PLAN to review 2023-01-19 and then share
  • Best Practices for Authoritative Data working group (focus on Change Management)
    • 20222023-01-12-15 
      • Need some wordsmithing on order recommendation
        • Reached out to Dave to see if he needs help.
      • Steven rescheduled the meeting to 2023-01-17. Reviewing issues now to start discussions in Slack prior, hoping to make decisions in meetings.
        • Asking around about whether/how/can we expect the rumored RDF SRS in FOLIO to be ActivityStreams aware.
        Steven will work on discussion about dates
  • Containerizing the QaServer - Initial work done, still exploring migration from CloudFormation to Terraform
    • 2023-01-05 Sticking with CloudFormation for now
  • Containerizing the Cache Indices
    • 2022-11-17 No plan to move on this at present

...

  • POD & SHARE-VDE... should this team interact with that re: use cases, data analysis or other?
    • 20222023-1101-17: started working on 12: created some draft use cases for POD with which the assessment since POD does not seem to have any actionable use cases – just interest areasPOD Board may or may not agree. The assessment group is now on-hold until an MOU is signed between POD and SHARE-VDE.
  • Sinolio - Sinopia-FOLIO
    • Possibly next work cycle toward end 2022; with LC now in FOLIO-land; how will MARVA be integrated?
    • 2022-10-27 - No news on possible work cyclePlans for future work will depend on Stanford meeting outcomes
  • Entity Management in FOLIO
    • 20222023-01-12 - 07 - Continuing work on use case deep dive + environmental scanenvironmental scan work is wrapped for the moment until we need more investigation. Use case dev has been a bit slow to take off - group is increasing in size and we are actively working to align with efforts underway between LC and EBSCO
  • CUL Authorities in FOLIO
    • 2022-11-17 Still planning how to add URIs to MARC, strategizing automated changes to bibs (e.g. closing dates) that are automatable, will accelerate getting through the backlog and inform adding URIs process. 
    • 2022-12-07 Piloting adding URIs for firm orders using MARCEdit and batch processing during authority maintenance processes. If successful, will expand to other workflows (including documentation and reflecting in procedures)
  • BIBFRAME Interoperability Group (BIG) - Steven Cornell rep and Jason alternate
    • 2022-10-27: They are joining for summit. Little to report at present otherwise.
    • 2023-01-12: Met this week to go over Sinopia use of SHACL as a validating strategy. During the meeting there was a nice iteration on existing shapes based on clearer understanding of data needs.
  • CUL Inclusive Descriptive Practices Task Force2022-12-07 Discussion of use of Homosaurus in RMC and perhaps more generally. Have considered terms that match LCSH and where there are differences, which include many splits from LCSH to Homosaurus

Huda departure planning

  • LD4P videos and channel
    • Have asked Phil to follow up with Sean Taylor so Phil can get set up as video mage for the CUL-IT channel . If anyone else from this group would also like the ability to upload/modify video, please talk to Sean Taylor.
    • TODO: Put the original uploads in Box somewhere and share with Steven,
    • Update: I found one recording for BANG and uploaded. Now that Steven is the new CUL-IT video manager, he should be able to download the videos directly from youtube and then upload to the Box folder.
  • LD4P3 Usability recordings
    • Box folders shared with Steven already so should hopefully will continue to exist.     Will need to be removed by end of the grant but can remain for reference
  • LD4P3 Github: will continue to exist
  • LD4P3 web deployment: Can document (in confluence?) so someone can get to it if they need to. (Will just set up a Google doc for now and share with.. Steven? Greg? Simeon?)
  • D & A pull request for Wikidata image licensing: Need to do still
  • DAG: Anyone wanting to be co-chair from Cornell? Any suggestions for folks?
  • Huda VM and other server infrastructure
    • Code on github and/or folder
    • ACTION - Huda to put PCC and Jim's POD data extract in box and make Steven owner
    • ACTION - Huda to do final check
