Context

Following the convergence of the eagle-i and VIVO ontologies into a combined VIVO-ISF ontology in 2013, a manual extraction from VIVO-ISF to produce the “VIVO Core” ontology has been used for VIVO 1.6 through 1.9.2.  Changing the VIVO Core ontology betwen VIVO 1.5 to VIVO 1.6 had significant impact on the VIVO community.  Some sites never upgraded.  As a result, no ontology changes have been made since 2013. In 2015, OpenRIF, an open source organization, was created to maintain and develop the VIVO-ISF.  Several commits have been made to the OpenRIF repository, but none involving the VIVO Core.

  • What is the purpose of any ontology improvement?  What kinds of improvements are there?  Why would any improvements be needed?  What impacts would ontology changes have on the community?  How can we know the impact of any particular ontology change?

  • If we were great at ontology improvement, what form would that greatness take?  What would be included?  Can you picture a world in which we were great at ontological improvement?  What would that world look like?

  • How would we get from where we are now to what we want?  What would we do first?

Deliverables

To be developed.  Likely to include a change process by which the ontological constructs used in VIVO can be improved.
