Presenter slides are available at:https://bit.ly/LDIdiscovery

For new arrivals to the Zoom room - presenter slides are available at:https://bit.ly/LDIdiscovery

Will the presentation be recorded?

@Rui it is being recorded

The recording will be available next week

Thanks a lot!

I love the Columbo theme!

"Just one more thing..." - the quintessential metadata/linked data project experience

wondering why subject strings are separated by > rather than the standard --

Visual cue that each subdivision refines what comes before it?

Yes, Mark. And depending where you click (left to right, the subfields) will bring back different results.

I may have missed this - what system does Cornell use?

Blacklight.

Blacklight

Thanks!

Hah :)

Love this diagram.

Same!

How/where do you get the match for Wikidata entities (Q numbers)? Is it always trustworthy?

Is there another way to get the slides? My employer blocks all Google sites.

So the counts are not dynamic? how often do you update the indexes then?

Perhaps we could also make a ppt and share.

Counts are dynamic, from the Blacklight Solr index.

@Amy we will post a downloadable version of slides at our IG page in ALA Connect

For alternate subj headings when searches are done in your catalog do the results always match the "preferred form" of the subj heading?

Please look for this in a week or so

@Benjamin-- thank you!

Alan, our blacklight documents include both preferred headings and variants, so if someone searches the preferred or variant term, the bib record will be in the results. We only display the preferred in the bib display.

Thanks Steven!

wonder if you are going to make fields like occupation and locations actionable in the knowledge card?

Looks like you weren’t separating out “genre” from subject. Wasn’t that problematic?

Are personal names backed up by undifferentiated NACO authority records presented to the public in a different manner?

Good question, Chris. We haven’t… yet. Partly because as Huda mentioned some of this information is being pulled into the page as it renders in the browser, and it’s not in the index driving some of that linking.

g2g, but just one more thing Huda...very interesting presentation!

Do you have a public repo for the blacklight code?

"affecting production" -- meaning affecting the production environment, or decreasing the number of records produced per week, etc.?

Jeff, https://github.com/cul-it/blacklight-cornell

Are all records in the catalog linking like this? The catalog records are all in MARC?

Elizabeth, all our base bibliographic records are currently MARC bibliographic records, then we use connections to MARC authorities, and *if* we can get connections from the authority to external data… then we integrate it.

Do you have an example of what displays when there is no authority/external data?

Re: the influence graph, had you considered limiting relationships to referenced statements? (I probably asked this before)

Christine, we’re not currently looking at some of that metadata about statements that Wikidata offers.

And have any of these gaps suggested projects for future Wikidata efforts (like edit-a-thons or PCC projects)?

and following up on Christine's question, or limiting it to non Wikipedia references?

Blacklight is both the discovery tool and the ILS?

Blacklight is a discovery layer to put over an ILS. We’re currently using FOLIO as our ILS

are you encouraging Cornell researchers to use ORCID?

Do you add DOIs into MARC, ORCID into authorities?

Regarding an earlier question about what shows when there is no external info, I'll try to show a URL if there is time

what is the most challenging component of the implantation piece of this for you?

+1 collaborators and other relationships that can be more easily attested

Thanks @Huda

@Suzanne I think there is a general encouragement for ORCID use but Steven probably has a better answer : )

@Marja, I don't think we add ORCIDs to authors. Not sure about DOIs. We'll ask Steven in a sec : )

Thanks!

@Marja we don't programmatically add ORCID to authorities, but I personally add it if found when either creating new or editing existing new personal name authorities

Thanks

Yes, I do this also. Thanks!

Thanks Laura!

This work looks so great! Congrats! Can you say more about the yaml external data source inclusion/exclusion workflows? How are exclusions identified? What's the volume? Who decides? Who produces the yaml? Will decisions be revisited?

what IR are you using?

Eva, DSpace

Thank you!

Thanks

https://ecommons.cornell.edu/

SNAC uses associatedWith as a way to capture relationships between entities this might be a useful alternative to consider for Influenced or even Collaborators

Ari asked what was the most challenging

I asked around implementation challenges

Yes thank you

Are the Wikidata matches reliable? Do you sometimes get the wrong person?

What do you do with resources that are compilations (i.e., lots of different authors, titles, subjects, places)?

Dave, if they don’t have a 1XX, then currently there wouldn’t be an info box.

Here's an example I found of what happens with an undifferentiated name: https://newcatalog.library.cornell.edu/browse/info?authq=Wright,%20John.&browse_type=Author&headingtype=Personal%20Name&bib=7707617

@Laura A. - Found a mixup here for editor/author "Caroll, David, 1932-", but there appears to be something wrong witht the Wikidata record (https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5232189)

The info box does appear, because there is a name authority record:https://newcatalog.library.cornell.edu/catalog/7707617

Dave… If we decide to add info boxes for 7XXs we might have to think about how the user interaction looks like for a long list. The info buttons for many 7XX links would make the UI pretty busy.

Thanks, Steven!

Thank you!

thank you!

Thanks for all this! Amazing work. Congratulations!

Thank you, thank you!

Thanks, very interesting!

Thanks very much, very interesting presentation!

genres and subjects are not the same.

Thank you! This was an excellent presentation and great example of linked data in production!

Thanks for sharing your experiences!

Great to see all this hard work! Thanks everyone!

Thank you! this was a really great and informative presentation! Nice to see linked data actually used & useful in a discovery layer.

This was very interesting! I wish it was a product that a public library could purchase. We just don't have enough staff to write/tweak the code for Blacklight.

It probably depends on whether the genre is coded 650 vs. 655

If I want books about bildungsroman, I have a tough time, sifting through all the bildungsromans

Thanks!

Thank you!

thanks so much everyone!!

we need to move genre/form headings to 655 in older records

So so exciting! Thank you

Enjoyable presentation! Thank you.

So cool!

+1 Adam

Thank you!

also loved all the Colombo references ;)

Thanks all!! Appreciate all your questions and comments.

Thanks so much!

Thanks Staci!

👏

Feel free to reach out to us with any questions

Thank you very much for the amazing presentation!

Thanks all.

Very exciting indeed

Thank you!

Thanks!
