Agenda

1. Updates 
   1. from China
      1. Discussions with Mark Musen
      2. Discussions with Stefan Decker
   2. Other updates
2. Use of XMLLiteral and VIVO-1528
   1. https://www.w3.org/TR/rdf11-concepts/#section-html
3. Priorities for the ontology
   1. Modules, for example clinical trials, identifiers
   2. Cleaning, for example, adding definitions, providing super Classes, removing/replacing singletons, DOI definition as URL
   3. Internationalization, labels (and annotations?) in multiple languages
   4. Adding new terms/modules, for example, humanities
      1. Unable to locate Jira server for this macro. It may be due to Application Link configuration.
         1. https://github.com/OIT-ADS-Web/duke_vivo_ontologies
   5. Improving modeling, for example vcard, academic degrees, organizations, relationships
   6. Alignments, for example schema.org
4. Versioning: We should publish a release now and start to improve the ontology from there. Questions:
   1. SemVer?
   2. Review and release processes
   3. Documentation
5. ... additional items here ...

Notes

1. Updates:
   
   1. China
   2. Mike tries to get control about the entry in Bioportal: https://bioportal.bioontology.org/ontologies/VIVO
   3. Schema.org is not an ontology, more use in VIVO is appreciated.

2. Regarding use of XMLLiteral.  vivo.owl currently has 220 datatype properties.  They have ranges tabulated below:

   Count	Range
   160	None
   34	xsd:string
   14	xsd:anyURI
   4	xsd:dateTime
   3	xsd:boolean
   3	xsd:int
   1	xsd:date

   Here's the query I ran (using robot on vivo.owl in the released version)

   PREFIX owl: <http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#>
   PREFIX rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#>
   SELECT (count(DISTINCT ?s) AS ?nrange) ?r
   WHERE {
     ?s a owl:DatatypeProperty . 
     OPTIONAL { ?s rdfs:label ?l }
     OPTIONAL { ?s rdfs:range ?r }
     }
   GROUP BY ?r
   ORDER BY DESC(?nrange)

3. Following discussion the group recommends the use of rdf:HTML as range on datatype properties that require HTML editing.  All other datatype property ranges (including no ranges) are edited using a plain text edit editor. It appears that 4 datatype properties (bibo:abstract, vivo:overview, vivo:teachingOverview, vivo:researchOverview) should have range specified as rdf:HTML.  Note:  other fields may require rdf:HTML type, and other edge cases may be discovered.  The group discussed the impact of language tags, the need to add HTML to some labels, and other potential edge cases.  The group recommends testing in a branch to discover unintended consequences and edge cases.  Existing field may contain HTML that under this proposal would no longer be able to contain HTML.  Such fields may need to be stripped of HTML by site data managers.
4. Priorities
