Finalizing data load process from existing profile system for December rollout to faculty, starting with campus availability
Stephen: please share results of your focus groups
Working with Provost’s office on displaying organizational structure in VIVO, thus filling a real need on campus.
Colorado (Stephen & Alex)
Working on testing 1.6 of VIVO starting with our UCCS data. We’ll send in tickets to Jira later today (and confirm tickets if they already exist)
Beginning to wireframe visualizations using D3.js and Google’s API and our VIVO data.
2013 curation in Elements is finished and our curators are going back in time

Cornell (Jim, Brian, Huda)
Working on 1.6RC3 for early next week
Huda continuing to work on DataStar
Duke (Patrick, Richard & Sheri)
Continued work on artistic works looking at legacy data from previous systems.
Looking at the Library of Congress Subject Headings and getting those included into our instance.
Sheri: will version 1.6 include an LCSH service call? Answer: yes!
EPA (Zac)
No updates again today, sorry.
Memorial (Max)
Working on a Drupal application…[sorry didn’t catch the details]
Correction: Memorial is continuing to work with Stella as a migration analyst.
Looking for third party VIVO consultant as Stella who was consulting on a project basis with them, but has moved to a full-time job -- also VIVO docs need updating for 1.5/1.6
Stephen recommended posting this to the VIVO dev list, as some older VIVO NIH project developers might have interest and availability
Alex to follow up with Max offline about tracking down a possible consultant; it’s important that the project (DuraSpace) maintains and provides a list of consultants, vendors, or interested former VIVO developers
Paul: what’s the best way to publicize your need and solicit consultants?
There are a lot of other semantic web developers outside the VIVO community (see LinkedIn Semantic Web groups -- is there a VIVO wiki page for this?) who might be drawn into the VIVO project.
RPI - Patrick out today, but interested in possible VIVO/CKAN integration demo next week
Scripps (Michaeleen) - no update today
Does the Implementation Fest rate apply to Saturday night? Who should I contact?
Stephen: try calling the hotel
Alex: still working out a schedule, but considering a hackathon on Tuesday; possible Friday sponsor meeting
Update: Julia Trimmer at Duke will contact the Hilton to discuss the possibility of extending the VIVO rate to include Monday and Saturday nights
Stony Brook (Tammy) - loaded data on to VIVO Stony Brook Medicine, converted from VIVO 1.5.2 to VIVO 1.6 rc 2. I know rc2 is not officially “ready” yet, but… I’m happy to report that it appears to be working very nicely!
Although, one strange little thing happens - when you log in, a few rogue predicates are visible under “Other” (“bearer of”, “has contact info”, “participates in”, “related by”). “Related by” shows some good things -- the labels for grant name and position name. But it also shows only the URI for the authorship(s).
First look at a VIVO 1.6 instance with data?
Paul to talk with Tammy about modeling medical expertise data
Might be a 1.6-specific bug modeling organizations
UCSF (Eric)
Would be willing to do an OpenSocial demo at a future implementation call
Alex: you should try to attend the Implementation Fest -- interest in OpenSocial and ORNG, and Profiles’ VIVO RDF
Virginia Tech (Julie)
No major updates; been working on other projects
Beginning of the search process to find two systems engineers (one for VIVO and Symplectic Elements and another for cloud management)
Weill Cornell (Paul, Eliza)
VIVO is in Large Pilot stage
Struggling to remove/subtract data from graphs using site admin tools
Stephen: this has been a recurring bug in Harvester; Eliza: but we are using the site admin tool
Brian: normally this should work; we might have to go offline and see what the problem is
Eliza to send out message describing the problem to dev-all list
any others?
Next Thursday’s call
Alex: what about two demos next week - VIVO/CKA and OpenSocial?
Stephen: sounds good; we should do the release update, the two demos, and then the updates pending time

- CAS and VIVO – (John from Memorial) – Is anyone using it, and if so, do you have any good anecdotes or documentation to share? Our institutional single sign-on is built on a stock CAS instalI.
Notre Dame may have done so in the past but is not pursuing it.
Tammy is using CAS.
I hear no
- How are user accounts associated with profile pages?
- JRuby code that performs the equivalent of creating inferences in the process of assembling a Jena resource: https://gist.github.com/patrickmcelwee/7377676 (Patrick)
This is awesome. Thanks, Patrick!
