2013-12-18 VIVO-ISF Ontology Call

Agenda for 12/18 VIVO-ISF Ontology Working Group call

Release 1.6 update

• new ontology file for available for browsing, but no automated way to create it

• can we put up something like the eagle-i ontology browser?

• what’s been happening with eagle-i -- no funding but progressing through effort at OHSU and Harvard -- deriving an eagle-i application file out of the ISF

• a mechanism is needed to update the Mireot files for dealing with imported ontologies

• presentation by Matt on what’s being done on the eagle-i side

• overview by Brian of how the ISF is managed in VIVO
  

• any plans for migration from Google code to GitHub -- we’ll be ready to start having other people contributing to the editing beyond Brian and Shahim

• Google Code is Subversion underneath

• some people have a learning curve with GitHub, but tools such as SourceTree are making it easier; Git has a very nice integrated documentation

Review of interest group work

• Bibliographic representation

• Grants & projects

• Organization ontology (including providing feedback to the W3C working group)

• continued progress on representing the humanities
  

Opportunities for engagement

• requirements gathering and review

• incrementally improving documentation
