Work on VitroLib will involve the following stages and components:
Stage 1: Exploration and documentation
The goal of this stage is to provide an early VitroLib prototype, with accompanying documentation and instructional materials, as a basis for preliminary exploration by LD4P partners, and to serve as a starting point for initial requirements analysis and feature specification for the more fully-featured version of Stage 2, described below. The work products of this stage are:
- A prototype VitroLib application built on Vitro 1.8.1, including some sample customizations for the ontology (LD4L-O) and recommended external vocabularies developed in the LD4L 2014-2016 project.
- A Cornell-hosted, shared sandbox instance of this version of VitroLib for exploration by LD4P partners. Sample instance data using these vocabularies, produced by the MARC-to-RDF converter produced during the 2014-2016 project, has been loaded into the instance.
- A series of introductory webinars based on this verion of VitroLib, including installation and configuration, ontology browsing; instance data browsing, editing, and querying; display customization; and user management.
- Full documentation of the stand-alone Vitro application, which has not heretofore existed. This will be based on the VIVO 1.9 documentation, include technical documentation and customization options for developers, and site and data management documentation for site administrators and editors. As the project progresses (see Stage 2 below), VitroLib-specific documentation will be provided as needed.
Stage 2: VitroLib application development
The goal of this stage is to progressively build a more fully featured application based on iterative requirements and feature specification developed in collaboration with the LD4P partners who are using VitroLib as their metadata editor. This version will be built on Vitro 1.9, and will provide display and editing customizations for the core ontology recommendations of the LD4L Labs/LD4P ontology working group. The application will be further customizable for the LD4P ontology extensions. The work products of this stage are:
