Context
There have been several discussions in VIVO Hackathons and Implementation-Fests regarding to the possible solutions of a networked VIVO to break the VIVO silos and reduce data redundancy. One example of data redundancy is that each VIVO site has some stubby URIs for the coauthors at another institution.
Objectives
This task force will take several parallel processes to identify the challenges and investigate the possible technical solutions to a networked research ecosystem, focusing on the issues related to the person URIs:
document VIVO’s existing integration capability as a baseline
document high level user scenarios and integration requirement for linking person profiles in networked research ecosystem
explore and evaluate various technical challenges and solutions of finding personal profile URIs of person at other institutions and representing data of external URIs
- make recommendations on technical solutions towards a networked research ecosystem
Deliverables
user scenarios and use cases for linking persons in VIVO in networked research ecosystem
brief technical solutions evaluation report that outlines the various alternatives and recommendations
panel discussion at VIVO 2015 conference
