Current open issues
Research interest descriptions
Research area/interest and description (JHU) - Some faculty would like to separate expertise from research interest, and have description associated with each research area. For a faculty with several research areas, vivo:researchOverview need be sliced for consumption by a project website, which only display description of one or two research areas.
In a brief discussion on the 2013-02-06 VIVO Ontology Call, we ascertained that the descriptions of research interests need to be separate entities linked to both the person and the research area, a concept typically from a controlled vocabulary, that may be linked to by several people and/or organizations or projects. This is not a role but more of an annotation on the connection between the person and the research area or topic.
In continuing the discussion on this call, Brian mentioned a recent focus by the W3C on support for annotations via the http://openannotation.org/spec/core – it seems more straightforward than reification (giving an RDF statement its own URI and adding multiple additional statements about that statement) and appears to be intended for a similar purpose (applying terminology to resources) to what Jing describes as the use case at Hopkins.
See the Research Areas, Keywords, Interests and Expertise page for additional discussion.
Implementation Fest planning
- Will be held Thursday and Friday, April 25-26 in Boulder, Colorado, a 45-minute bus ride from Denver International Airport
- Visit the 2013 VIVO Implementation Fest page for more details on logistics and the schedule as it evolves
- There will be several ontology sessions at the event, including reviews of the existing ontology and working sessions to work through open issues and address know areas where improvements or extensions have been requested.
- Please add suggestions for areas of discussion here, which we will try to accommodate in the schedule as we develop it.
- Research grants – what are the differences between grants, awards, and contracts? How do NIH and NSF (and other funding agencies) model grants, so that VIVO can align data harvested from NIH RePorter or research.gov?
- Distinctions among North American, British, continental European, Australian and New Zealand academic position types
VIVO Conference workshop planning
Other issues as time permits
- Jon has created a page on Representing and displaying re-publication or performance
