Notes

  • Development Update
    • 1.16
      • prepared the UI label translations & verifications
      • working on reviewing the elastic search integration - still hoping to be part of 1.16, it's the last pending feature - not sure if it will make it
        • clarification on benefit of elastic search - it is a replacement for Solr, and helpful for organizations who already use elastic search in their ecosystem, and don't want to add Solr only for VIVO
    • ORCID
      • started making progress on the implementation of the cross-walk
        • Need ROR Ids for pushing affiliation - not currently present in the owl file that's in the VIVO release 
        • Need to have a meeting to discuss if 1.18 ontology can be included - it shouldn't have any breaking changes
        • But may require some build changes
      • authentication is also pending, hoping to be done within the next month
      • next ORCID meeting in February, would be good to be able to present the implementation there
    • MVP
      • Work started on WCAG and OpenAire OAI-PMH mapping, hoping to have more progress to report in December
    • Financials
      • Discussion of need for different models for RSPs, more contribution back towards the program, consortium models
      • Bridget and Mic are working on a proposal for an alternate model, hope to be able to share in January
    • Wiki cleanup
      • no progress so far
    • COI Forms
      • All need to complete
    • December meetings
      • Next year, November and December probably need to be moved to different weeks
      • Do we want to shift weeks for the entire year?
      • Decisions:
        • no December leadership meeting
        • strategy meeting: we will keep the 15th, cancel 1st and 29th
    • OHCR & SLA
      • Bridget reviewed the changes to the Addendum
      • Recommended splitting the vote for the cost structure and the addendum language separately in January
    • CIMES
      • How to formalize discussions and efforts towards developing a plan for collaboration and grants, maybe with other states - TX, MA
      • We may want to convene a task force to work on this?
    • Task Forces
      • Christian reviewed the main points of his task force proposal (see Slides)
      • Bryan suggests a task force on defining what we want to fund and common goals, another on identifying partners
