  • WashU
    • running VIVO 1.4 on local machine, skipping 1.3
    • upgrading QA server to VIVO 1.4
    • having some challenges with Harvester (mapping to internal data is smooth), e.g. performance/resource issues – who else is using it successfully? WCMC using it for publications, grants and demographic ingests (leveraging Google Refine to clean dirty data)

Special Topics

  • Making it easier to get data into VIVO, using the Harvester or other – possible track for 2012 Implementation Workshop?
    • recipes for getting Scopus publications data into VIVO, e.g. using PubMed central IDs (link to grants?) qualified by faculty? Maybe not as much of an issue for medical schools.
    • clearinghouse for Harvester scripts and recipes?
    • understanding how to best request non-copyrightable bibliographic data as an extension to library subscriptions
    • improving matching algorithms and determining what has changed during periodic updates
    • evaluate semantic web tools that tracks adds/deletes of triples like a Master Data Manager, Cornell wants to look at TopBraid Composer (http://www.topquadrant.com/products/TB_Composer.html)
  • Working with CU-Boulder on an Implementation Fest (2011 Implementation Fest materials)
    • timing?
    • tracks? intro vs advanced tracks – versus Jon's suggesting starting with 1st day intro and 2nd/3rd days more advanced
    • staggering policy vs implementation tracks?
    • topics?
    • adding to documentation
    • video recording or livecasting workshop? Maybe simple screencasting?
    • allowing invited institutions to vote on program?
    • workshop application/invitation process – challenges, lessons learned
    • best way to canvas VIVO community for instructors and their availability, then narrow down date range and canvas community of attendees – Kristi and Alex will follow up offline
