E. Lynette Rayle will describe current state of wikidata work (as identified on Prioritization page) and then ask Christine Fernsebner Eslao what we might consider "done" for the next pass on wikidata, then perhaps create new and more specific issues for later improvements
2019-10-04 Not done yet, still need to check in with Christine (have been working on other items higher in prioritization)
2019-10-11 Not done
Tim Worrall to update discogs code to use standard bnode format
2019-09-13 Tim about half way through this
2019-09-27 Have updated discogs code to output ntriples as well as n3, will make PR for this and also the update to use bnodes
2019-10-04 Got back from Justin a snippet of n3 that now works with Sinopia, and have now replicated this load of n3. Sinopia team are updating the label to list all formats that can be accepted. Have made PR which is awaiting review from E. Lynette Rayle. Have found a new issue with loading Discogs data in that certain extra labels and types break the loading of data → need to identify minimal example(s) to post bug report for Sinopia and potentially use for a workaround. This seems like something that is a general issue and will be a problem with other data sources such as SVDE. General idea is that extra triples should be ignored or loaded without showing, should not cause load to fail
2019-10-11 Sinopia team are following up with this, nothing more for us to do, see ISSUE LINK
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)
Sinopia team asked whether Sinatra profiles up-to-date, Steven has uploaded minor revisions so there are in place
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
RDA registries included as a single authorities with sub-authorities for the different areas, now available in Sinopia. This has been straightforward because of consistent SKOS model and clean data
Open question about cohort members who want to use LC versions of RDA vocabs. Discussion on id.loc.gov email list and Matt Miller asking for feedback on data dumps
Performance – analysis on laptop clearly shows that from QA server perspective the http load is the dominant part of the problem with the slowest third of requests taking 2.5-6s for load. The normalization part is next slowest, taking ~0.8s for the slowest third. Need to check analysis is correct and also run on AWS. Will discuss the load portion with Dave. And also do swarm test.
Tim will be on D&A sprint that week, everyone else should plan on attending
Team bus will leave Ithaca ~2pm Monday, return Thursday morning. We'll stay around Dupont, perhaps Holiday Inn or Darcy next door? Simeon will get the bus
5th International LODLAM SUMMIT at the The Getty Center in Los Angeles. February 3-4, 2020
Steven is on the planning committee, Lynette and Simeon to apply
