Developer (ETL, AWS, RDF, SPARQL, Elasticsearch)Remote workBuilding alpha for managing catalogue data using RDF After a successful discovery our client need an expert RDF developer to help implement an alpha of a new pan archival catalogue, developing a solution meet the users' needs, using AWS Neptune and Elasticsearch.Work so farOur client has run a discovery phase leading to plans for an alpha using AWS Neptune and Elasticsearch.The discovery produced a proposal for a new Catalogue Data Model using RDF, a new identifier scheme, and transformation routines for the existing data to the new model. We have held workshops identifying the keyways that staff managing the catalogue work with the data and what they would like in future. The archivist needs to search, analyse, add to, correct, edit, enrich, and enhance record descriptions so that the catalogue is properly maintained. The archivist needs to work with catalogue entries individually or as large sets, making (or reversing) bulk changes, so they can work efficiently. The archivists need to understand the version history of the catalogue so they can be confident about where the information has originated.We have investigated all the current databases that hold catalogue data and how they inter-relate.
