Notes 

Correction of estimations for short term tasks

Brian and Dragan estimated short term tasks at the previous week meeting. It has been presented to the VIVO Strategic group. Dragan presented briefly the feedback. The out-of-the-box analytics via Kibana are expected. There are some security vulnerabilities with this approach which Georgy reported at the last tech meeting. 

REST API approach

Team discussed which approach should be used for building REST API endpoints. Brian and Dragan discussed the challenges of using a semantic web approach for data retrieval and the need for a more user-friendly interface. Brian suggested the development of a hybrid system that would allow users to interact with the ontology and generate REST API endpoints without needing to write Java code. He emphasized the importance of promoting the benefits of the ontology and graph approach to avoid being seen as an impediment. The team decided to continue the discussion in future meetings to make the ideas more concrete and estimate the time needed for implementation.     

Progress on the implementation/review 

Georgy worked on decoupling building and deployment processes. The idea is similar to William's idea, but simplified. The unpacking was file into tomcat creates vivo-home directory if it is not already created and copying there bin and config directories. The RDF subdirectory stays in the tomcat/webapps, not in vivo-home. This should be discussed with William.

DOCKER improvements were suggested in different tickets, we need to consolidate them. Dragan will start working on specifications for a unique Docker ticket.
