Linked Data Fragments Update:

    * Intrigue over improving linked data performance.

    * Corey is interested in it and has back-burnered projects (but no time :)

    

SOLR Stored Fields Update:

    https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-3191

    * Current thought now is to trim down that functionality and implement a really basic version.

    * Unsure of when they might do that.

    * Looks like we will have the selector approach.

    * Concurrency problems unlikely because it's only labels and not repo updates.

    * In blacklight, set "fl" to be the whole wildcards of the hydra application.

      * Need to edit the schema to add the fields with the new suffix?

      * Then update the Blacklight config should get you most of the way there?

    * There is a solr interface query thing in ActiveFedora that might just need some global configuration.

    * Whoever needs to do this would likely be the one to work on it.

    * Oregon is doing this already... (already doing atomic updates for LOD in solr. They just don't worry about full text)

    * Steven may do some work on this for Digital Transgender Archive.

    * Likely try to merge this into the default hydra-jetty config and into the Blacklight default configuation rather than just text instructions.

    * TODO: Trey to ping Oregon to ask about their priorities and timeline.

    * Linked Data Atomic update enrichment example code: https://github.com/tpendragon/linked_curation_concerns/commit/086afe2d883990a8e1faab202da5477fbd7d3b6b

    

Metadata Enrichment Interface Update:

    * digitaltransgenderarchive.xyz

     * Access:   http://www.digitaltransgenderarchive.xyz/files/new

        * For Homosaurus, search on "law" for example since now much enterered on this test server.

    * Update form has lookup fucntionality for controlled vocabs:

        *Currently supports LCSH & Homosaurus vocabulary

    * Will eventually be here: https://github.com/boston-library/mei

    * Steven using Fedora 4 rather than Marmotta for persisting custom vocabularies.

  • Trey would have expected challenges with what URIs you can use in Fedora (external URIs?)



Ontology Development and Maintenance (for the Hydra Geospatial IG)

    * Using the Controlled Vocab. Manager from Oregon Digital?

    * Governance within the Hydra Community

    * RDF::Vocab and pull requests

    * Have a look at GeoOwl and it's relation to GeoRSS: http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/geo/XGR-geo-20071023/

    * Otherwise, recommendation is two fold:

  • Contact Julie re: getting a custom ontology through Metadata IG into Opaque Namespace

  • Follow up with RDF::Vocab folks to generate vocab from the Owl ontology

Next Official Meeting:

  • Next meeting will be January 7th at 9:00 AM PST / Noon EST.
