1. VIVO ontology overview and design patterns; core vs. local extensions; introduction to the new Integrated Semantic Framework (Jon and Nicholas)
2. SPARQL 101: query fundamentals, sample queries, and simple reports (Nicholas)
3. Knowledge Mobilization Ontology– presenting the use cases and progress to date by that work group (Lisa, Jing, and Jon)
4. Ontology extensions to represent research & scholarship in the Humanities, including Artistic Works (Steven, Amber, and Jon)
5. Work session on open ontology issues
6.  – and coordinating with how to work with Artistic Works in Elements, including what if any identifiers should or can be attached to the work
   
   1. the notion of derivative works over its full life cycle and beyond simple authorship – republishing, translated, and appearing in different manifestations – as an additional mark of success or impact
      
      1. implications for citation tracking
   2. additional publication types
   3. relating works to events through additional relationships beyond "product of" – transcriptions, but also a work being the impetus for an event
   4. the status or condition of a work – in review or unpublished, whether the work was commissioned or funded by a grant, inclusion in a collection or anthology, on tour, part of a permanent installation
   5. when is something a work vs. an event vs. professional service – consulting activities, field work such as being the director of an archaeological dig sponsored by a grant or government project, and the works derived from these events or activities
   6. different kinds of contributing roles to publications or events – how specific or generally should these be modeled
   7. and bearing in mind previous work that has been done such as 
7. Work session on open ontology issuesProvenance – what does it mean in the VIVO context, and at what level of detail should we model it?

What issues are priorities for discussion in session 5 – especially if they are not listed here?

• Publication types and coordination between Sympectic Elements and VIVO; Artistic Works 
• Research grants – what are the differences between grants, awards, and contracts?  How do NIH and NSF (and other funding agencies) model grants, so that VIVO can align data harvested from NIH RePorter or research.gov?  (Scripps has looked at this issue recently)
• Distinctions among North American, British, continental European, Australian and New Zealand academic position types
• The Open Annotation Data Model and its potential use to annotate researcher associations with areas of interest or expertise
• Provenance – what does it mean in the VIVO context, and at what level of detail should we model it?
• From Mike Conlon: "How to represent that a person is no longer associated with the university? It's becoming more obvious that we have many people in VIVO that are no longer at UF. We need information representation, then display, and likely some places where formers are filtered out of displays and lists."
  
  • Nicholas has developed an "active" class – as well as the institutional internal class – so that someone would have both active and institutional internal to be showing up in searches or on menu pages
• Courses and semester classes – can we finalize the Course as a continuing entity that is realized in Semester Class events?
• Radio and TV programsTV programs – the collected document nature of a website (e.g., Philosophy TV) vs. an episode as one in an event series; what is the episode – the broadcast or the recorded version that can be viewed anytime
• Events such as testimony before a special congressional panel on a given data, the webpage and URI for the hearing, a linked URI for the the recording or transcript of the testimony of the individual, and any composite compiled and edited report produced from the testimony
• Representing and displaying re-publication or performance
