The Open VIVO task force is active, and looking for additional help in Graphics/UI, Java development and RDF generation and management. If you'd like to help, please contact Mike Conlon or Graham Triggs

 

Context

Open VIVO will be a demonstration of VIVO at the Force11 Conference in Portland, April 17-19.  The demonstration is expected to run through the VIVO Conference in August

Objectives

  1. Provide a hosted Open VIVO platform that anyone with an ORCiD can join
  2. Develop attribution ontology for use with Open VIVO
  3. Import content from GRID (orgs), CrossRef (journals), Dates, Concepts.  Import data for attendees from Figshare.  Import content for users from ORCID.
  4. Provide a capability for a user to enter a DOI and the contribution they made to the work, and have that work added to Open VIVO
  5. Export all the data nightly to GitHub under FAIR data principles for reuse by the community.
  6. Demonstrate the system and support its use throughout the demonstration period.

Many elements of Open VIVO will find their way into future releases of VIVO.  Sign on procedures, RDF data, attribution ontology, interactive addition of works via DOI and others will be added to VIVO for all sites to use.  An export utility is planned for extracted data from Open VIVO regarding a particular institution.  Using this tool, local data stewards will be able to extract data from Open VIVO pertaining to their organization, and add it to their local VIVO.

Schedule

This is a community-driven project.  Schedules are subject to change as people are available.  Open VIVO is a demonstration schedule for first appearance at the Force16 conference in Portland, Sunday April 17-Tuesday April 19.  To demonstrate Open VIVO at the conference, the schedule below is proposed.

Requirements are in place.  Additional features could be added if time and resources permit, and if the feature(s) are consistent with the nature and purpose of Open VIVO.

Items in Green are sub projects that proceed in parallel.  Items in Red are major deadlines.  Other items are in Black.
