What are the roles? Need to both
And to know the resources (including level of effort) required for both,working our way backward from a list of tasks | We interpret this question as what people will be needed and what will their skills and effort level need to be for a development project:
|
What will be the division of labor? Among the partners | Initially: DuraSpace might continue to primarily do mentoring as it does for VIVO activities in general. Could alternatively do more active participation in a search project, it would require additional funds – to address marketing, and system administration/support, customer service support. We expect that and VIVO ontologists and developers could would rewrite the indexing code, update the UI and web front end, and review candidate data.Project management might need to be hired. Colorado has expressed willingness to contribute to development efforts, but the project is big enough that at least some developer time will need to be budgeted. |
What are the primary "keys to success"? Not just features, but factors such as ease of participation by clients, the present | The need to go goingbeyond providing the obvious first win (integrated search) to addressing relevance ranking, frequency of update As Mike Conlon has pointed out, the search will not fully meet expectations of facilitating CTSA network analysis unless some of the immediately visible disambiguation problems (are addressed.

Is there a market to attract service providers for readying data at campuses/organizations? | yes, including Symplectic, SciVal Experts, Recombinant, potentially others, especially smaller consulting firms. |

What is the ideal deployment environment? | Stable Linux VM running Apache/Drupal or Apache/Ruby (this could be rewritten to use Hydra/Blacklight) Stable Linux VM hosting the Solr index (could probably initially be on 1 VM) More dynamically allocated Linux VMs for indexing After beta phase, move toward staging server and load balancing |
