Notes
Announcements
- EuroCRIS series of webinars
- EuroCRIS started as an organization to maintain a standard for research data models (CERIF)
- Most CRIS/RIM systems did not implement this data model but are compliant with it
- Also developed CERIF XML export format
- VIVO community interested in mapping between VIVO and CERIF data models
- In Europe, many organizations use VIVO as a CRIS or component of a CRIS (TIB, Cineca)
- Is VIVO involved in this event?
- Peru is building a national CRIS, which they want to be compliant with CERIF (using DSpaceCRIS + Pure)
- Thinking of adding VIVO on top of this system to make the central portal as visible as possible
- 200+ orgs in Peru run DSpace. They use DSpaceCRIS to collect information from these repositories
- Peru is building a national CRIS, which they want to be compliant with CERIF (using DSpaceCRIS + Pure)
- EuroCRIS is a good contact point for VIVO in Europe
VIVO Implementers
- Bruce met with Florida State, Sam Houston State
- Sam Houston overwhelmed by current cost of implementation (in terms of resources)
User Groups
- Mic met with Anna to plan an online event for the Spanish speaking VIVO community
- Not enough Spanish-speaking VIVO users in Europe but lots around the world (e.g. Central/South America)
- Spain, Chile, Costa Rica
- Create a Spanish-speaking VIVO community
- User group + quick VIVO workshop
- Not enough Spanish-speaking VIVO users in Europe but lots around the world (e.g. Central/South America)
- North American user group meeting
- Julia has recruited volunteers to help organize this meeting
- Targeting February
VIVO Conference
- Virtual or in-person?
- Most likely virtual
- Need to make sure we don't overlap with other similar online events (Open Repositories, EuroCRIS)
- Who can organize?
- Mike led this effort this year
- ACTION: Bring this up at the next Leadership meeting
Marketing Video
- Marketing group currently writing use cases to use as content
VIVO-in-a-box
- Lots of organizations interested in implementing something like the Texas A&M VIVO
- Unfortunately, lots of concern about the total cost of implementing such a system
- Can we create a simplified version of a RIM system that would be easier to implement?
- ReCiter was a missing piece that now makes this possible
- Need to understand the cost of this project - understand if we should pursue vs. something else
- VIVO at A&M always seen as a socio-technical solution
- Not just software but support to get started
- Early successes are very important for initial buy-in
- Does the VIVO community have the capacity to:
- Offer a training session on getting up and running with VIVO-in-a-box (installation, ingest, etc.)
- VIVO Camps fulfill this need but these were in-person
- These could be modular - a couple hours at a time
- Tailored to different skill levels
- Identify a current VIVO user who can act as a parter during implementation
- Offer a training session on getting up and running with VIVO-in-a-box (installation, ingest, etc.)
- Is there any interest in a simplified VIVO outside the US?
- Easier installation is of course a benefit
- For some orgs the flexibility is more important than the complexity
- Need to present this idea to the community and determine whether or not it meets use cases
- Maybe create a small task force to explore, analyze, assess
- Should be made up of members and users from around the world
Action Items
- All: Next meeting review election practices and make recommendations for changes for next year
