1. (see above)
2. How to proceed
• Christian: Start from more abstract to concrete. Begin by defining concepts (http://bit.ly/2Ekg7m6).
  • Mike: May need to go back-and-forth. It’s not a concrete definition, but a suggestion that may be changed later.
  • Brian: Can pick a document and have a “homework assignment” where we decide what changes we think can be made and then meet back together and discuss what we came up with.
  • Following discussion, group agreed to the homework approach.
3. EuroCRIS interested in an MOU with the VIVO Project
• Meeting was held in Helsinki with Ed Simon, Jan, Michelle of EuroCRIS, Mike (VIVO), Anna (SIGMA)
• Mike: EuroCRIS expressed interest in 2 initiatives:  1) Cerif to VIVO conversion (no interest for now in other direction). Could possibly be a project starting at SIGMA. Not a description of how to map- a working tool.
  • A lot of the semantics are in code tables that can be heavily customized locally.
  • Can a tool be built that converts CERIF 2 VIVO and allows others to use local code tables?
• Second interest, Aligning semantics across a series of projects. (OpenAire, FAIR, CASRAI, VIVO, Freya, ORCiD, Cerif, COAR, KDSF, OBO, etc.)
• Brian: What kind of output? A common ontology or mappings?
  • Mike: That would be the first work item to consider.
• Christian: This seems like a really large project.
• Mike: Getting people together to discuss this might make people realize how big the project is.
• Christian: Maybe have a bridge between ontologies.
  • https://coli-conc.gbv.de/cocoda/dev/ or Wikidata?
• Possible approach: http://oaei.ontologymatching.org/2019/conference/index.html?
• Mike: Aligning ontologies is feasible.  But some people only have a data model, a data structure (relational tables or JSON) and documentation.  We have had this since the 1970s.
• Research Graph has a large scale research graph.  http://researchgraph.org
• RDA may be forming a research graph working group.  
• Freya is creating a “PID Graph” connecting research entities via persistent identifiers
4. Home assigned.  See action item
5. Next meeting July 11.

Action Items

•  Read and comment on Early Thoughts on VIVO Subsumption Heirarchy https://docs.google.com/document/d/10Y5j8K_LKa-lAU-Z_p4q1ZnpuuKXEqqTTUb9F-4cFBE/edit#heading=h.vh08fi94n9io for our next meeting
