VIVO 1.10.0 has a DOI VIVO has a DOI! It is 10.5281/zenodo= .2639713 This is a Ze= nodo archive DOI for release 1.10.0. This DOI is required to complete the J= ournal of Open Source Software paper which has submitted last fall. The pap= er's favorable review has been completed and we expect publication shortly.= You will also note that the VIVO repository README has been updated to inc= lude a Zenodo archive DOI badge. See https://git= hub.com/vivo-project/VIVO A = new wiki page has been created to document that the project now has a Zenod= o community collection. The wiki page is here: Zenodo Community Collection. = The Zenodo Community Col= lection is here: https://zenodo.org/commun= ities/vivo/ I'm currently th= e curator of the archive record at Zenodo. I'd love to have some community = members join me as named archivists able to add things to the archive, mint= new DOI as appropriate and execute the projects archive policy (to be writ= ten by project governance).
VIVO Combine Item 3 in the Product Direction for 2019 is "VIVO = Combine" =E2=80=93 a new piece of software for collecting metadata for= scholarship, providing disambiguation of works and people, and curation by= authors and curators. We hope to form a Combine interest group soon = and look forward to your ideas about it. Several VIVO sites have soph= isticated metadata collection and curation processes and are considering th= e approach to producing open source software for use in the scholarly ecosy= stem. Look for an announcement soon.
RDA I had a good visit to the 13th plenary Resear= ch Data Alliance meeting in Philadelphia. FAIR data was all the rage,= with many interest and working groups considering how best to make researc= h data FAIR. VIVO has a straightforward approach based on ontology, R= DF, and TPF. That is, VIVO can be deployed in a manner that provides = FAIR data. I am using this approach as part of an NIH grant to make m= etabolomic data more FAIR. I am also contributing to a working group = on representing specimens of various, which has recommended the VIVO ontolo= gy as an approach to FAIR specimen data. I continue to work with the = Data Foundations and Terminology group, as well as an emerging interest gro= up on research graphs. RDA participants understand that VIVO produces= an institutional research graph based on its triple store and ontology.&nb= sp; The emergence of research graphs is a hot topic at RDA. The next = plenary will be held in October in Helsinki. We hope to continue all = these efforts there.
CNI and Summit Last week I had a chance to see ma= ny members of the VIVO community at the Coalition for Networked Information me= etings in St. Louis, followed by the Duraspace Summit. The VIVO proje= ct had two breakouts =E2=80=93 one focused on current technical initia= tives, including the transition from the product evolution effort to the ne= w VIVO Scholar Task = Force effort, work beginning on a second version of the VIVO ontology (= more about that here soon), the VIVO Combine effort, and the recent w= ork on VIVO 1.11, including additional decoupling and improvements in inter= nationalization. A second breakout considered the needs of the VIVO p= roject in the context of the merger of Duraspace and LYRASIS. Lau= rie Arp from LYRASIS participated in the breakout as an observer. The= VIVO Leadership Group= is considering how best to create a strong future for the project.&nbs= p; Your thoughts about the merger and how VIVO might prosper in a new organ= ization are very welcome. Please share with any member of the leaders= hip group, myself included.
ROR At both RDA and the CNI Meeting, presentations were= made regarding ROR =E2=80=93 the Research Organization Registry. See&= nbsp; h= ttp://ror.org ROR is an effort of the California Digital Library, = CrossRef, Digital Science, and others to build on the work of the Digital S= cience GRID project. GRID is a CC0 dataset of information regarding t= he research organizations of the world. ROR uses the GRID data to pro= vide identifiers, URI, a curation process and an open API for research orga= nization data. The goal is to create standard pick lists for publishe= rs, repositories, and metadata integrates such as VIVO so that affiliation = information is standardized across the ecosystem. Expect to hear more= about ROR =E2=80=93 its policies, sustainability and its use in the V= IVO ontology to provide common organizational assertions across VIVO implem= entations.
Reminders See the VIVO Event Calendar for all VIVO meetings. Re= gister for the VIVO Conferen= ce. Submit your work for presentation at the conference!
Go VIVO!
