Editorships and translatorships
- (Patrick) We agree with the apparent consensus that it would be best to move toward an Editorship context node for connected editors to publications. The authorship node has been a useful place to hang attributes, such as whether a faculty member has "favorited" that publication. Does anyone object to applying the same logic to Translatorship? Or have a better name for it? I guess there is less chance to have several translators on one publication (though I would not bet too heavily on that), but translators might also "favorite" some publications.

Formalizing an VIVO-ISF Ontology Working Group
Representatives of each of the organizations sponsoring VIVO (see http://vivoweb.org/sponsorship) will be meeting on Wednesday afternoon, August 14, at the VIVO Conference for the first official VIVO Sponsors Meeting. One item on the agenda is to formalize a set of working groups, with the current and potential activities of this group and listserv providing one example.
Working groups will continue to be open to all and to encourage participation by individuals and organizations regardless of their sponsorship status.
With release 1.6, VIVO will be adopting a larger ontology derived from the VIVO and eagle-i ontologies and addressing broader needs in research representation including research resources and clinical expertise. The ontology will be promoted going forward as the Integrated Semantic Framework or ISF, but will continue to be managed by members of the VIVO community together with participants in the CTSAconnect project representing eagle-i and the biomedical research community more generally.
Your thoughts are very much appreciated, and feel free to add comments on a wiki discussion page for the VIVO-ISF Ontology Working Group even if you can't attend the meeting.
