Miles Worthington, winner of the 2011 VIVO Apps contest, is visiting Cornell for a few days and will talk briefly about an update to his award-winning VIVO Searchlight bookmarklet as a tool supporting AgriVIVO. Summary Here's a summary with a pointer to the code and documentation.
VIVO 1.6
Question
- Should we disable "extended linked data" in VIVO 1.6? VIVO currently returns more than the minimum set of RDF in response to a linked data request, on the theory that by returning additional labels and/or the URIs and labels of entities related via an intermediate relationship like a position or authorship that the application receiving the response may be able to make fewer secondary requests. We are no longer sure this approach makes sense – it may be less stress on a VIVO and on the application requesting linked data to get smaller amounts of data in multiple requests. We have also found in harvesting large amounts of data for the VIVO multisite search that the same data ends up being requested and returned multiple times.
- The question is: does anybody have an application or process that depends on VIVO's extended linked data feature?
- VIVO 1.6 release standup meetings are happening every weekday noon (excepting Labor Day 9/2)– open to all, but likely primarily of interest to those committing code for this release
- For background, see the VIVO 1.6 release planning (including notes from last week's version number discussion) and VIVO 1.6 JIRA issues
