Anna just finished the committee. This is the first time that the working group for this committee met. We started talking about basic decisions, for example, mapping will be bi-directional. We have a document from 2013 that is being reviewed and updated. We will meet again on January 12 to continue this discussion.
Dragon Dragan – supported what Anna reported. He is looking forward to continuing this work in the coming year.

Julia: Do you have a sense of the scale of the mapping task?
DragonDragan: It is quite a big task, and the first phase is to update the mapping. This would be a great presentation. Next step would be to express the mapping in a formal language. Then we can automate from one source to another. It will then be possible to easily integrate into the VIVO Platform. It is quite a big task overall. However breaking this into phases makes it more manageable.

Ann: What is being described is from DSpace to VIVO, but the project is describing using VIVO as a publication platform.
DragonDragan: We are aiming for a hybrid system between VIVO and DSpace. Researchers can update their profiles via VIVO or DSpace, whichever is easier for them to update.
