   4. Draft HTTP API
4. Draft requirements
   1. Performance considerations
   2. Data flow considerations
5. Convergence of diagrams - using Jim Blake's diagram as a rally-point
   1. How to improve VIVO to more seamlessly consume Rialto-Combine-esque data?
   2. How to improve VIVO to more seamlessly produce Product-Evolution-esque data?
   3. How to modularize core VIVO to be more accessible and maintainable for developers?
   4. How to distribute CPU-intensive processes across multiple machines?
6. "Required reading" materials before fly-in
   1. Architecture
   2. ?product evolution
   3. ?Rialto (VIVO/Vitro assessment)
   4. ?JavaScript frameworks
7. Thoughts on the fly-in agenda

Working documents

1. Architectural diagrams
   1. Top-level and Detailed, component-level
   2. APIs and services, specified
2. Features spreadsheet
   1. Questions to answer:
      
      1. What will the product will do/support?
      2. What additional business value-add can the re-architecture offer?
      3. What are core? and why?
      4. Which features are in/out/optional?
      5. What audiences are specific features for?
      6. What are the logical groupings for features into modules?
      7. Will we offer multiple product distributions, analogous to VIVO/Vitro?
         1. Perhaps an "enterprise VIVO" vs. a "small-shop VIVO" vs. Vitro

The word of Mike

1. Statement of direction
   • Focus on 2019 actions
   • Common goal: Advancing scholarship
2. VIVO community should be (will be) much larger... 1000s
   • Everyone should have a profile
   • ..with data that backs up the profile

Applications of VIVO

1. Research Information management application
2. Showcase profiles application
3. Data production application
   • Producing value for institutions and the broader community

Actions for each team member

1. See section "Pre-Fly-in actions"

More requirements

1. Response time to render profiles
   • 20sec too much
2. Cloud-ready?
3. Need suggestion for graph-store
   • Need that suggestion/answer as a foundation
   • Actively maintained, production ready, multi-threaded, etc
4. Speed of removing triples
   • Timeout on dumping large named graphs

Actions

• ...

Collection of existing architecture diagrams / resources

• Architectural diagrams

Cornell (Huda)

• VIVO (in general)
  • From the wiki: diagram from architecture overview page
    • component diagram from main architecture page
  • • Can include more brainstorming/high level component diagrams/discussions from presentations and documents as well but not sure this is the bullet for it
• Scholars at Cornell
  • Presentation: https://figshare.com/articles/Scholars_Cornell_Visualizing_the_Scholarship_Data/5277958/1 (Slide 19 shows a high level overview of the components)Data Distribution API structure:
    • image which  shows API-related components (these would connect to VIVO)

Discussion

Previous Actions

• All to complete priority row
• All to review produce diagrams

• Collect diagrams Opera (Brian)

• Collect diagrams Rialto (Justin)

• ACTION: ALL to help enumerate list of current features "Feature audit" (Google-doc)

  • What to carry forward
  • What to leave out
• Andrew to Potentially poll the community
