September Sprint Text of story 2VIVO is planning a development sprint
Adding Language Proficiency to VIVO The Ontology Improvement Task Force is developing new assertions for specifying language expertise. As in "Mike speaks English". The group is considering ISO 639-5 as a standard set of language URI, and language proficiencies based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_European_Framework_of_Reference_for_Languages and http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/iso639-5.html These standards, when implemented in VIVO will add to VIVO's ability to represent the expertise of people. Language coding is also planned for works, indicating the language of the work. The JIRA issue is here in JIRA: VIVO-1544
If you have comments regarding the representation of language proficiency, existing models and ontologies, or comments on these standards, please share on the ontology channel on Slack. You can join VIVO Slack here: http://bit.ly/vivo-slack
