Theme: Launch of First Annual VIVO Survey
Designed to be one survey per site, that can be passed from one team member to another.
please use the mailing list for any questions that come up
the survey is fairly extensive, but can be saved so it can be filled in via multiple sessions and/or by multiple responders (e.g., a policy person, an ontology person, and a developer)
be sure when you save the survey to resume later you record the URL you are given -- if you don’t use that you will have to start over
Paul Albert and others will facilitate online survey process for call attendees
And Paul will send out the link below and highlight the point that if you save midway you need to copy and save the link to be able to resume
How do you want to receive feedback?
e.g., what’s the definition of a profile -- all foaf:Person entries or the count of people within the institution -- see the FAQ on the project wiki page listed below
Timeline -- encourages submissions by June 30, 2014 to be included in Paul’s proposed conference presentation
Note that Profiles institutions are also being surveyed (with a shorter survey)
See project wiki page for more information and an FAQ
The VIVO survey link: https://www.formstack.com/forms/?1704676-gIMWlsYzom
Early feedback:
yes, it’s long but I can leave blank questions that aren’t applicable
would provide very useful information in making the case for VIVO
looks like good information -- interesting to see some of the results
would it make sense to have different responses from the same institution? For this time, one per institution is what we’re looking for
Thanks to Paul for creating the survey!
Notable list traffic
A change in the version of Solr used between VIVO 1.5 and 1.6
We expect to move to Solr 4.x with 1.7
performance work is taking precedence over backporting caching from 1.6 to 1.5
specifying Accept header to sparql query against VIVO generates error
RPI could work around this but is still having a problem with the DESCRIBE query -- can anyone reproduce?
