Idea Challenge

A team including Tom Cramer of Stanford, Jiri Kuncar of CERN, Justin Simpson of Artefactual, Graham and I won the OR IDeaChallenge for a presentation entitled "The Magic Place".  Slides here: https://goo.gl/zi2ZJD Basic idea is to provide a single drag and drop widget that would have multiple workflows behind it to facilitate faculty contribution of work.  The widget could appear on a VIVO profile, a library repo site, OSF, or other places where faculty might be found.  The faculty member would drag a file on to the magic place widget and "magic would happen" – the file would be annotated with approiate metadata from the institutional sign on system, and provides to various workflows for repo deposit, profile systems, RIM systems, CRIS systems, publication systems, security reviews or whever they file needs to go.

Comments

Much better conference in Dublin than in Indianapolis.  Much more research content.  Much more interest in data sharing.  More interest in VIVO.  Better access to thought leaders.  Next year conference is in Brisbane, Australia.

Enterprise architectures for VIVO and repos and metadata providers are beginning to emerge.
