Attendees: Huda, Greg, Jason, Steven

Regrets: Simeon

Discovery (WP3)

• https://github.com/LD4P/discovery/projects/2 for issues etc. 
• Research: how to go from knowledge graph to an index
  • Research decision points, Use cases 
  • Jamboard link
  • Expect to include Works. Need to do something beyond what we already have live from the OCLC concordance data.
  • References/bibliography list (beginning)
• BANG! (Bibliographic Aspects Newly GUI'd)
  • 2022-10-13
    • Video complete; will be uploaded soon
      
    • Lessons learned and documentation still outstanding; should be done by 10/20
• BAM! WOW! (Browsing Across Music With Obtainable Wikidata)  
  • 2022-09-29
    • Met with Tracey and Kevin (Stanford) to discuss thematic catalogs and Wikidata. Notes: 

      https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rYz48f-vRW-DPg_3xu33uxp0F_gVFpnYtgX0j0pE-u8/edit

      • Takeaways: 
        • Useful to display music catalog codes and cross-references for musical works. Can start with use cases in document.  Additional area of interest is translations (Stravinsky works use Russian uniform titles while many will try to search with French and English titles first and then go to Russian).  
        • Considering interviewing or talking with music students to better understand which use cases might be of interest
        • Asked if order within the catalog matters but it didn't seem to. We're still curious
        • Order of thematic  catalog might be important (i.e. we may want to show code from a particular catalog first)
          • Simeon: Could identify which thematic catalogs are of interest in our prototype and start there
    • Knowledge panels: Could use that as a pattern to bring in more info about works, or use the BANG! pattern with a dedicated work page.  Could try both of those out.
    • Searching by catalog code? Simeon: Would need a fielded search to be effective. 
      • Currently, thinking this may need more work to define how this (areas of concern:
  • 2022-10-06 
    • Have mostly been working on Blacklight Summit
    • Tracy and Beth have started capturing data on Vivaldi
  • 2022-10-13
    • Kevin (Stanford) returned spreadsheet of properties present in Wikidata that are not commonly found in library metadata for musical works – to help guide which data would be an enhancement; need to monitor for additional content. Steven wrote query connecting musical work to what it was created for (e.g.: song created for a soundtrack) AND finding if LCCN exists... to then query whether we have that in the catalog.
    • Huda started a GH branch - plan is to pick use cases and set something up that represents that (e.g.: musical work in catalog has info button to Work that'll include K-number and other properties). pulled latest from Blacklight-Cornell and having issues getting Dev to run – D&A has been in multi-week updating to Ruby3; what is in Dev right now will not run in without significant updates to machine and code. Greg'll need to make tasks to get work done; not insignificant effort.
      • Hoping to go live with the new D&A code today or early next week; can start work for LD4P to run this code right away – will take a new work days but has good notes since has run this twice for D&A. Not urgent need.
• DAG Calls
  • 2022-10-06: Have nothing planned for next week! (Except if the folio metadata people are ready, otherwise we might cancel). National Library of Sweden's up for the second session on October 25!

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)
  • 2022-10-06
    • Greg and Steven have been working with Dave on new LOC Countries authority. Still running into problem that the cache is crashing, need more guidance from Dave
    • Yesterday Steven got a request for a change of context, result of PCC meeting last week
  • 2022-10-13
    • Continue to try to troubleshoot getting countries to run. Proposed standing short meetings for the foreseeable future to work through issues.
    • A request for context changes to LCNAF has raised a question about whether Dave has indexed the fullest RDF representation. https://github.com/LD4P/qa_server/issues/492
    • Asking Dave for a recurring meeting to knock out a couple issues/week
    • FOR NEXT WEEK with Simeon: How can we let Dave retire: someone to run triplestores, run lucene index, make sense of Dave's code. Dave has a lot of hand-built infrastructure on his premise that we cannot economically replicate. Greg put up containerized LD4P services but the indexers that run, query and create caches has not been done and we don't have resources to do that – another big project. Only going to get worse. Need a plan.
• Best Practices for Authoritative Data working group (focus on Change Management)
  
  • 2022-10-06 
    • No meeting next week. Steven working to organize remaining issues
  • 2022-10-13
    • Steven is still organizing repo, tagging individuals to think about work before next meeting.
• Containerizing the QaServer - DONE
  • 2022-08-04 Greg digging in to terraform as a potential replacement for cloudformation, not ready to move yet!
  • 2022-09-15 Still exploring, have only tried baby steps so far. Need to focus on current system first
• Containerizing the Cache Indices
  
  • 2022-07-21 : No progress. Have not heard anything from Dave; Jason will ask him at Monday's PI meeting to respond to Greg
  • 2022-08-04 There wasn't a PIs meeting so haven't yet checked with Dave

Other Topics

• POD & SHARE-VDE... should this team interact with that re: use cases, data analysis or other?
  • 2022-09-15: Tech services reps from Columbia, Cornell, Penn, Stanford and Yale met to outline work. Will be acclimating ourselves to both SVDE and POD in coming weeks; once we better understand the state of things, will better define use cases. Casalini expects it to take a few months to set up the SVDE instance for POD.
  • 2022-10-13: meeting tomorrow
• Sinolio - Sinopia-FOLIO
  
  • Possibly next work cycle toward end 2022; with LC now in FOLIO-land; how will MARVA be integrated?
• Entity Management in FOLIO
  • 2022-10-13: first meeting was last week. Will be meeting every-other-week starting 10/25.
• CUL Authorities in FOLIO
  • 2022-10-06 Stable at this point. Frances has made changes as a result of feedback. Julia using OpenRefine for spreadsheet transformations. Think this works for now and Mary Campany is handling regular updates. Expect to talk through URIs in MARC at next meeting
  • 2022-10-13 - no update
• BIBFRAME Interoperability Group (BIG) - Steven Cornell rep and Jason alternate
  • 2022-10-06 Had demo from National Library of Sweden; Library of Congress, OCLC, the Share Virtual Discovery Environment (SVDE), and Stanford University created a list of interoperability Use Cases in December 2021 and BIG is now creating a list of add-on use cases important to a functioning ecosystem that allows for editing/linking to/caching/etc. of BIBFRAME data.

Upcoming meetings/presentations

• "Linked Data Summit" and LD4P Fall meeting and Interoperability meeting, DC, November 7-9  at LC
  • Linked Data Summit, Mon 7 + Tue 8 Nov (likely mostly in person, possibly presentations hybrid)
    • Discovery Use Cases leveraging linked data.
      • 2022-10-13: Huda, Steven, Filip, LC, OCLC (facilitators), SHARE-VDE were in a brainstorming session to plan the meeting. Added references to Cornell's work – recap across LD4P2 and LD4P3 and Blacklight Linked Data Working Meeting at Stanford in 2019. At beginning of LD4P3, created list of every use case we've ever discussed; added as reference. Added good outcomes for the meeting (use cases - and how/why useful). Next conversation about impact vs support vs effort.
  • LD4P Fall meeting, Wed 9 Nov, 9am-4pm (hybrid)
  • Attendance plans: Huda & Steven in person 3 days, Greg probably in person for Wed 9.
  • Agenda has a question of how people understand when data changes in data. Attempting to make a connection with Metadata Management API and Getty and LOC's Activity Streams.
• Charleston Conference 2022
  • Simeon contributing to session "From idea to implementation: BIBFRAME becomes reality" https://charleston-hub2022.exordo.com/programme/presentation/183 which has to be recorded this week
