Humanities ontology requirements and design discussion
Duke humanities-related ontology extensions
At the request of the Duke and Brown VIVO implementation teams we are having a work session on modeling things like acting, archives and portfolios, CD recordings and liner notes, catalogs and catalog essays, choreography collections, commissions, compositions and performances of those compositions, architectural design projects, conducting, directing, dramaturgy, exhibitions, exhibition series, festival participation, film, graphic design, group shows, guest teaching, installations, master classes, photography, prints, public lectures, radio broadcasts, radio interviews, puppetry, scene design, sculptures, solo performances, workshops. Please join in or comment if you're interested.

This also brings up the need for distinguishing between being the creator of a work vs. being the subject of the work.
Notes from the meeting
Duke is looking at the existing data in the current faculty reporting system (SES) and trying to represent it in VIVO
...
- we need an ontology VM to replace http://flora.mannlib.cornell.edu:8080/vivoontology
- but we need to be able to have sample data in ways that doesn't complicate creation of the ontology release
- some things can go right in Cornell VIVO
- Brown may have a sandbox
- Duke will not have Pat after next week
- may not be able to call on the dev team for help with ontology-related work until have time to work out priorities
- they will be supporting self-editing
- have the possibility of editing in Elements – they have some categories like Design, performances, compositions, etc (under Others) , but prompts you for the same categories of role as articles or books – are either author, editor, or translator
- local administrators can customize their local instances
- but would have to get that data to VIVO – adds another layer that don't really need
- won't find in any consistent information online
