Discovery (WP3)

• BAM! WOW! (Browsing Across Music With Obtainable Wikidata)
  • 2023-10-1926
    • Attended Steven attending the Discovery Affinity Group session on PHAROS. Similar to LUX, aggregates data/images from various sources. The PHAROS folks found OAI-PMH the easiest to work with, able to get updates easily.
    • Mary and Steven working with Matt Miller to develop a bot to find changes in LCNAF so that we can update our discovery environment with better wikidata links: https://github.com/thisismattmiller/lccn-wikidata-bot/tree/main/documentation
    • meeting where Harvard talked about their process for designing wireframes for knowledge cards. They came up with a clever idea (a tabbed knowledge card) to bring together a lot of information. Shared with Melissa to consider own mockups to test for November sprint. Harvard's Slides. Steven is going to take this as an opportunity to think about Wikidata properties for non-music related works.
    • Wrapping up BAM! WOW! work
      • There was already a BAM! WOW! video:

      • Steven will write a summary of recent work
      We think we have implemented everything in BAM! WOW! that we plan to deploy; we should think about dissemination

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)
  • Two sprints: 1^st Sprint - 9/25-10/6 / 2^nd Sprint 2023-10/30-11/10

  • 2023-09-28

    • Christina is getting into the code to figure out what’s available in the Samvera Gem for LC direct lookups. Apparently as written, it pulls in the label and an identifier, rather than a URI. Rather than override that in the gem, she’s going to build off of our direct lookup already in our instance of QA.

    • Set up stand-up for the duration of the Sprint to make sure we keep focus
    • Steven has set up a test template in Sinopia for new lookups when ready
  • 26
    • Sinopia Tests Completed for Homosaurus and Getty Vocabs. Closed issues and moved them to 'Completed' on the project board. These differ from typical relevancy searches, using the linked data module in QA defaults to alpha sort. Results look good regardless.
    2023-10-19
    • First sprint completed. Matt and Christina quickly got to understand it
    • Christina added homosaurus and Getty vocabs. She used Getty SPARQL endpoint and got good results, have baseline lookups for ATT, ULAN and TGN, think we can improve these searches with more sophisticated queries. Homosaurus was easy, Christina quickly learned the API and we note considerable editorial work which means a live search
    • Matt focused on updating Ruby including thinking about the various dependencies
    • Steven added new lookup configs to Sinopia, with label “TEST (DO NOT USE YET)…”. Waiting for them to be pushed to production to test. Nancy is in the loop with update process
    • Greg notes that deploy process is working well (hurrah)
    • Next sprint is scheduled 10/30-11/10
      • Steven thinks that is Sinopia tests are good then we Will proceed with next lookups; and we think Matt will be able do a Ruby upgrade
• Best Practices for Authoritative Data working group (focus on Change Management)
  • 2023-10-1926
    • Getting there! Waiting for Appendix B...
    • Mostly discussed section 6 on consuming activity streams (immutable vs. mutable, ascending vs. descending), leaning toward abstract description with pointers to LOC and Getty as examples. Also need to add language saying at this time neither fully comply. (And ask them each whether they'd make changes to comply)
