Notable development list traffic

  • Resolution of search indexing problem at Florida, and remaining questions about how to trap for the data issue involved (a form feed character pasted in from a PDF)
  • Exporting large models – a Jython script to call Jena with Harvester libraries, specifying a particular model, as developed by Ted at Brown
  • Modifying VIVO to allow authentication with WebID while still using modules in Apache httpd to support authentication
    • from Erich at Stony Brook: 
      When you try to log onto a site that accepts WebID, it will ask for your certificate.  That site will then look in the certificate for the URI of your foaf file then grab your foaf file and reference it to get your public key.  The server will then check the signature of your certificate with the public key to verify that you have the private key to the public key.  If they match, you are logged on, and, as a bonus, the server now knows basic information about you from your foaf file.  Also realize, there are no commercial certificate authorities involved.  If you suspect your private key has been compromised, re-key your foaf file and local certificate...you're done.  No running around to numerous sites.  Change the picture in your foaf file and sites accepting WebID can update from your updated foaf files, as well as, other information.  Cool eh? :-) 
  • VIVO 1.5.1 logging – how to log all edits made through the application and ignore all changes made to the inference graphs
  • Prefacing URIs with a non-numeric character (and an issue in VIVO to fix for 1.6)
  • Desire to combine multiple positions/titles for one employee when seen from the department's page
  • Jim: show me your code – "When I get your code, I'll 'diff' it against the original release code to see what you had to change, and how hard you had to work to make it happen. I'll summarize for the team, and we'll talk about ways to make it easier."
