QuestionResponse
How many institutions does the application currently support?8 – 7 VIVO sites plus 1 Harvard Profiles site
How many institutions will be targeted?
  • initially 12-20; in 2 years, 100; ultimately 1000
  • must represent VIVO, Harvard Profiles, SciVal experts, Iowa's Loki, and hopefully Pittsburgh's Digital Vita and Stanford's CAP systems; ideally one institution participating only through static RDF files in a web-accessible directory
  • will target a range of institutions including government (USDA), commercial (American Psychological Association), international (Melbourne, Griffith, Bournemouth, Eindhoven, ColPos, Memorial University of Newfoundland, etc), small (Scripps) and large (Florida, Colorado, Nebraska, Duke), and on diverse platforms (Harvard, UCSF, and Minnesota for Profiles, Northwestern for Scival Experts, Iowa for Loki)
What are the roles?project manager | ontologist/data curator | UI designer | web developer | indexing programmer | system manager
What will be the division of labor?

Initially: DuraSpace could do project management and system administration/support, and VIVO ontologists and developers could rewrite the indexing code, update the UI and web front end, and review candidate data

Utlimately: could become a division between all aspects of production support, including marketing, and development of new features based on input from subscribers and sponsors

What are the primary "keys to success"?going beyond providing the obvious first win (integrated search) to addressing some of the immediately visible disambiguation problems (the same persons, organizations, events, funding agencies, journals, etc. coming in from indexing with multiple different URIs from the different source systems
Is there a market to attract service providers for readying data at campuses/organizations?yes, including Symplectic, Recombinant, potentially others
