Updates
- Brown (Steven) – meeting with departments (Engineering, Philosophy, Math) to understand their needs with VIVO, and doing a more complete analysis of what the content of a CV is, in a more formal way. The same issues continue to come up, such as an abstract work that relates a number of document instances, as well distinctions between "continuant" and "occurrent" entries (e.g., individual offerings of a course in a semester vs. a course as it exists across time).
- Looking at the Music ontology, done by the same group in Britain (Queen Mary University department of digital music) as did the Event – music in composition and performance
- Johns Hopkins (Jing) – back from vacation and looking at the provenance ontology (prov-o)
- Scripps (Michaeleen) – Stella has found PMIDs for 98% of 2008-2013 publications and PMCIDs for 74%; this is preliminary work for linking publications to grants, since NIH uses the PMID to do that linkage; she's also working on identifying primary position and primary department
- will have a few issues to post to the list
- very useful for compliance
- Weill Cornell (Paul) – becoming more important to list "voluntary" faculty in VIVO – physicians with courtesy appointments and hospital privileges but not always with a unique institutional identifier; need a way to develop a unique identifier from the information that is publicly available
- if use an arbitrary URI, lose the ability to type in someone's institutional identifier to get their VIVO page
- trying to cross-reference publications between VIVO and Scopus
- will be moving to using different graphs for ingest
- Virginia Tech (Gail) – at very preliminary stages with VIVO, with buy-in from the central IT organization and the Provost Office; the dean of the library has been very successful in building relationships with other units on campus. Are studying the landscape and looking to identify a department to focus on this fall. Are also considering Symplectic Elements.
- Managed the institutional repository (DSpace) but also developing a Fedora repostory through
- Has a background working on cataloging standards for electronic theses and dissertations
Release preparations
(Brian) Has been working to adapt the VIVO editing system to support the new ISF ontology – some deeper changes
(Jing) Is there a link to the presentation on the ISF?
Next call
Will be Wednesday, July 17 – in 3 weeks instead of 2, due to vacation schedules.
