Discovery SIG meeting prep.
Nicole (CU Boulder) - is the convener of the Discovery SIG.

• Nicole has send following message: Hi from Discovery SIG! EBSCO has been testing out some linked data elements in discovery like author pages and cites/cited by. We are reaching out to them to see if they would like to discuss these features in further detail, and will let you know what we hear. We were also wondering if the Linked Data SIG is interested in having a discussion sometime this summer about the development of the Linked Data app in FOLIO and the various ways it might impact user resource discovery? I know I haven't been keeping up with the app development and am very interested and this work.

• Alvaro explains that the Citation development team will work on authority data in the scope of Umbrellaleaf - development work to start in June.

• Alvaro can show this new functionality sometime in July. This relates to ontologies outside of FOLIO. Alvaro will share the links to the UXPRODs when they are ready.

• Tiziana mentioned the pilot project @Cult is doing together with Index Data for the Palci libraries.

• NLS use Elastic Search index for both cataloguers and for Discovery. This is flatten the BibFrame data. Will be able to share more information when LOD meet with the Discovery SIG.

• Stanford can share information on what Stanford is doing on Blue Core. Using Postgres for indexing.
