Review of discussions at Implementation Fest

Peer review
  • Hal and Bryan from the APA made it clear that individual peer review activities need to be confidential – not just on a per-article basis but even if a person is a reviewer for a journal
  • Editorial board memberships are public

Datasets

  • discussed briefly but we need to review the Datastar ontology model
  • want to model
    • subject
    • methodology
    • type
      • observational
      • invasive
  • example: citizen science
    • what (topic, discipline area)
    • where
    • observation that happened
    • data
  • what meaningful link can you provide for people to use once they've found a dataset?
    • the contact information may be most important – person, organization
  • format

Representing the humanities

  • how far to go in tracking the extended reuse – the information provided from CVs is very flat, but to really want to capture what's on the CV the modeling can become extensive
    • an original work combined with others in performances by different groups at different times in different locations
  • as Don from LASP showed, it may be helpful to be able to navigate the structure visually
    • navigate the graph, represent the network of data
    • stop at a certain point and have "more" links?
  • a practical matter of how you get the data, and get it at all consistently?
    • development branch vs. long-running side branch
  • test the migration

What do we need to get in the 1.6 release?

  • a way to represent a course as an ongoing entity across semesters, not just individual semester classes
  • a collection of events that is not an event series – e.g., performances of one work in multiple venues over time, vs. performances in a series at one place
  • additional roles – what are they, and in what if any hierarchy?
    • creator
    • performer
    • organizer
    • producer
    • director

Suggestions for the I-fest next year

  • presenter perspective – a lot to prepare to offer three tracks – is that one too many? 
  • posting some potential topics ahead of time and voting
    • some will want to know ahead of time
    • won't be a total surprise what's talked about
  • having some un-conference?
  • regional events

Ideas for submissions for conference presentations

  • A session on publications workflow growing out of Paul's and Nicholas's talks, which provided an interesting counterpoint in looking by person vs. at the institution level
    • A 3rd talk about Symplectic's workflow could round out the hour
  • Humanities ontology efforts
    • polish up the slides?
    • Events that are online only – philosophy TV
    • architectural practic
  • Using VIVO for accreditation – where scholars came from
    • for each publication
      • what was their role when authored the publication -- generate data on when published as student, postdoc, faculty, or grad
      • 5500 publications and only 1000 alumni
      • can remain entirely behind the firewall -- wants it to be an e-Porfolio
      • connect with people at NIH
        • just using the data dictionary
    • Paul -- the Weill grad school wants to do just that
      • for NIH reporting is so much work done
      • 6 or 7 different classes of students -- people hop between them
  • knowledge mobilization

Can we look again at ontology tools that support collaborative ontology development?

Jing – would like to have us look at Web Protégé, Knoodl
