Notes
- Development Update
- 1.16
- prepared the UI label translations & verifications
- working on reviewing the elastic search integration - still hoping to be part of 1.16, it's the last pending feature - not sure if it will make it
- clarification on benefit of elastic search - it is a replacement for Solr, and helpful for organizations who already use elastic search in their ecosystem, and don't want to add Solr only for VIVO
- ORCID
- started making progress on the implementation of the cross-walk
- Need ROR Ids for pushing affiliation - not currently present in the owl file that's in the VIVO release
- Need to have a meeting to discuss if 1.18 ontology can be included - it shouldn't have any breaking changes
- But may require some build changes
- authentication is also pending, hoping to be done within the next month
- next ORCID meeting in February, would be good to be able to present the implementation there
- MVP
- Work started on WCAG and OpenAire OAI-PMH mapping, hoping to have more progress to report in December
- Financials
- Discussion of need for different models for RSPs, more contribution back towards the program, consortium models
- Bridget and Mic are working on a proposal for an alternate model, hope to be able to share in January
- Wiki cleanup
- COI Forms
- December meetings
- Next year, November and December probably need to be moved to different weeks
- Do we want to shift weeks for the entire year?
- Decisions:
- no December leadership meeting
- strategy meeting: we will keep the 15th, cancel 1st and 29th
- OHCR & SLA
- Bridget reviewed the changes to the Addendum
- Recommended splitting the vote for the cost structure and the addendum language separately in January
- CIMES
- How to formalize discussions and efforts towards developing a plan for collaboration and grants, maybe with other states - TX, MA
- We may want to convene a task force to work on this?
- Task Forces
- Christian reviewed the main points of his task force proposal (see Slides)
- Bryan suggests a task force on defining what we want to fund and common goals, another on identifying partners
Action Items
