This is a draft of a Research Intelligence Task Force charter. Comments welcome and encouraged.
We will hold our first meeting (via teleconference) in early 2019. - Tom Cramer

Context

Research intelligence is increasingly interesting to the VIVO community, and a sphere where VIVO is particularly well-positioned to add value to adopting institutions, and as an open project, to help shape practices and expectations within the international research community. This Task Force will provide a designated area for the VIVO Community and fellow travelers to communicate and collaborate on research intelligence, emerging requirements and best practices, and implications for policy, systems, interfaces and data models. 

Objectives

  • Discuss institutional and national practices, requirements and trends in research intelligence
  • Share use cases, success stories, reports and functional benefits of research intelligence among research institutions 
  • Share technical architectures, integrations, system developments, and data model implications
  • Identify and help coordinate opportunities for collaborative work
  • Serve as a latch-point for external communities and commercial providers to the VIVO community for efforts of mutual interest and benefit 

Deliverables

  • standing forum for sharing information on RI within the VIVO Commmunity 
  • a library or knowledge base of research intelligence use cases, reports and success stories from the field
    • identifying the questions that can be answered by RI
    • exploring the best visualizations & reports to convey the analysis
    • sharing the institutional value of the RI analyses (including specific stakeholders)
  • recommendations / input to Product Evolution and VIVO Technical Roadmap committees on making VIVO more RI-friendly
  • mapping of VIVO integration points (system & data) to other components of the research ecosystem (institutional, funder, publishers, et al.)
    • identify and explore potential APIs for common components in ecosystem (among identity management, profiles, financial systems, e.g.)
    • capture examples of data access and reuse from open data endpoints
  • organization of Research Intelligence track at VIVO Conferences (if accepted into program)
