  • Update:
  • Release Management
    • we have an org for ontologies
    • we have a repo for the VIVO ontology
    • next step would be to set up the ontology repo to publish a jar object of an VIVO ontology release that can be included in the VIVO build process
    • part of the process is set up with sonotype
    • Brian will ask Javed for being promoted to an owner of vivo-ontologies
    • THen an initial release will be published
    • After that the release tooling has to be discussed, ideally with Philip Strömert, Melanie Wacker, Anna Kasprzik  and Susanne Arndt (TIB).

• KDSF
  
  • Update: 
• Application-specific ontologies
  • Vitro search - where to put the ontology?
  • Options:
  • https://github.com/vivo-ontologies
    • Should me mix software-oriented ontologies with domain-oriented ontologies in https://github.com/vivo-ontologies?
    • not preferred situation, reusability does not seem high
  • https://github.com/vivo-community/
    • only for additions, not things that VIVO relies upon
  • https://github.com/vivo-project/
    • should contain essential pieces for VIVO.
  • if it stored outside vivo-project it would have consequences for the build process, it should be copied into vivo-project.
  • Vitro search ontology and ABAC ontology and any application oriented ontology will be put into the VIVO code-base for now. This decision will be re-assessed later. At the moment it's built for the needs for the VIVO project
  • The ontologies should be documented in Wiki
• Requested topics for next meetings
  • vitro search ontology: https://service.tib.eu/webvowl/#iri=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/litvinovg/Vitro/vowl-test/vitro-access-control-ontology.n3
