Huda: Got to work on those other slides that explain indexing. (To Do above). Will also check errors at the Solr level which means errors when trying to ingest Solr documents generated by the indexing processing scripts.
Tim did work to update for index changes and some code consolidation from JS to controller, will now get back to the tests
John has been porting Tim's work into Blacklight. Hoping to maintain the same experience but some things might change a little using native Blacklight features

2020-06-12 Taking a back seat to accuracy work
QA accuracy
2020-06-12
E. Lynette Rayle Worked with Dave on refining the indexing for LCNAF. Comparison of Results for current production indexing and proposed indexing scheme updated to include intermediate and latest results. At this point, there are 3 out of 24 failing tests for LCNAF. 1) same failure as original due to other legitimate matches ranking higher, 2) special character that is considered an alpha is missing, so it doesn't match, 3) a match moved down in the ranking past the expected position (not sure why)
Steven Folsom I’ve worked on some tests and moved some issues to completed here https://github.com/LD4P/qa_server/projects/3, where I thought the only hangup was tests. Those issues that remain in the Failing Queries Columns, I’ve added comments to.
Linked Data API Working Group
Starting first Monday in June and then every other week for 4 months, logistics put into place
2020-05-29 - Added initial working group documents...
First meeting was last Monday (meeting notes). Brainstorming fell into several categories of topics: Caching (and management of cached data), Reconciliation, Accuracy (of results and of selection) (including extended context and ordering of results), API Approach, Data Structure, Scalability.
Creating a list of terminology with definitions. Discussions happening in Slack about terminology definitions including a question about the definitions for Reconciliation and Entity Resolution. I used definitions that were used in the first LD4L workshop which defined Reconciliation connecting Things-to-Things and Entity Resolution as connecting Strings-to-Things, but it was suggested that these are actually the same thing.
Possible relationship to entity management work in FOLIO
How much full LD vs linky-MARC?
CUL LTS working group is hoping to add URIs to MARC before FOLIO migration as a substitute for some of the heading management we do in Voyager in other ways. Perhaps won't be done ahead of switch but as part of the data migration. Considering how to update/maintain going forward
2020-06-05 Agree that doing some analysis/write-up for the Cornell context would be good, ACTION for July
Greg has been working on setting up a copy of Cornell Blacklight
First pass at a draft for the workshop for the LD4 Conference here: https://github.com/sfolsom/LD4_2020_Conference_Linked_Data_WorkShop. Comments welcome, but no pressure. I’m still working with the Conference Organizers to firm up workshop slack, email, and office hour communication.
