- 2014 VIVO Conference Call for Paper/Poster/Panel Proposals is out – deadline Friday, April 4
Reports and Feedback from the Hackathon and I-Fest
Feedback from participants
a different way of getting interaction going ahead of time than the google docs linked to each session? were they used for notes?
but great having them all set up for note-taking
some sessions could have used more time
having multiple displays would help -- bring a portable projector?
drinking from a fire hose -- going back to look at the notes
a starter kit to come prepared for -- reading up on SPARQL, perhaps
the Vagrant setup was useful
The hackathon was great -- thanks to Ted and Chris
Upcoming Activities
First annual survey of VIVO sites
See proposed project wiki page
Updates
Brown
Colorado
Cornell
Working on the 1.6.1 bug fix release, with our extensive testing staff (a.k.a. Holly) back from vacation
Catching up on documentation that was found to be missing at the I-Fest
Duke (Sheri and Patrick)
taking care of a few issues from the go-live
got to sit in on a meeting with CS and has apparently gone pretty smoothly -- and good feedback on the artistic works
in the process of upgrading to the new Elements 4.6 API for a new publications load
Florida
IFPRI (Cristina)
Trying to find data sources and customizing the ontology to fit our organization, and working on transformations of the data for ingest -- would just write scripts in Ruby to take in a CSV and spit out triples
did look into Karma again
Memorial
RPI (Patrick)
Got the VIVO/Shibboleth integration working. Writing up documentation now.
Thank you Jim Blake
Migrating/Upgrading our instance from test to production (not as easy as thought)
Had this problem https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/VIVO-653 with 1.6
Thought would install 1.6, put the database there, and when turned it on, would migrate
Brian -- supposed to just migrate
Tried it last night -- looked at the instance data this morning and didn’t look any different -- if got to the point of showing data, should have completed the migration, so will look at log files
Scripps (Michaeleen)
A meeting at UCSD as they consider available profiling systems; several home-grown, department-level sites (including Scripps Institute of Oceanography, a part of UCSD). Division of Biological Sciences is working with Eric at UCSF and will be launching soon. Nothing campus-wide yet at UCSD
Eric -- UCSD has big ambitions to bring in a system but may be a while before a product evolves to meet their needs, including in the humanities -- similar to what Griffin has tried to tackle at Harvard
Stony Brook
Texas A&M
UCLA (David)
I-Fest was useful and motivating - lots of ideas.
VIVO federated instance -- http://vivosearch.org -- further down the road but general interest and an assumption that would want to participate
UCSF (Eric)
Trying to figure out submissions for the VIVO conference
Finally has a server for the cross-linking data that has for authors -- will be trying SPARQL endpoints in addition to linked data and web scraping
Virginia Tech (Keith)
working on basic ingest and other things learned at the I-Fest
Weill Cornell
any others?
Notable list traffic
1.6.1 bug fix release in testing
VIVO and Java 1.7 - which version? -- Oracle Java
OpenJDK had been installed with the system, and wouldn’t work for another application either, so switched to Oracle Java
image uploading -- thumbnails, images -- doesn’t seem to work with OpenJDK
Anyone using Active Directory with VIVO?
a colleague of Cristina’s -- still coming
Ponce Medical School in Puerto Rico is using Windows but is small enough they did not very likely connect their institutional authentication
It may be possible to find articles about other Java applications integrating with Active Directory -- search beyond the VIVO community for other integrations
would the CAS authentication system
or Atlassian Confluence or Jira ?
the survey would be helpful here
Shibboleth -- now working at RPI thanks to Yu -- needed configuration settings to be correct, and are updating documentation today
one short page in the installation guide
Jim has set up a new page with a sketchy outline of more detailed documentation
Map of Science – coordinating an interest group to update
if people who want to use this could let Jon know, we can approach Indiana University together
Do we have anyone brave enough to try out OpenSocial gadgets
still fully active and is being tested in the 1.6.1 release
an alternative way to bring in data
could be a solution for visualizations
