Comments on VIVO Conference

 

  • Presentations are starting to be available at  http://vivoweb.org/node/1727

  • If you want to request funding from your supervisor to attend next year, what would you list as benefits?

    • Networking -- getting to meet so many people that had not met before

      • learning pain points, what is happening now, and aspirations

    • Knowledge sharing -- e.g., learning about software called WalkMe to provide users an onboarding tool

    • Coming back with strategies other schools have used in launching VIVO and understanding institutional barriers

    • Posters -- would be great to have a gallery for them where we could consult them -- Alex: can upload slides to figshare to for a DOI (possibly in browser presentation) -- also can use SlideShare

    • Opportunities for collaboration -- pulling aside people who are trying to do something similar to ask them how they do it -- face-to-face interactions

    • Being able to come to a conclusion on how to handle ingest, based on the recent momentum with the Harvester

      • Can confidently devote work to the Harvester now

    • Understanding better how to leverage Karma as a tool, as templates for mapping different kinds of data sources

      • possibly developing ways to exchange JSON-LD

  • SciTS -- nice to have them there, but was hard to get interaction -- something to think about if we co-locate again

  • Program suggestions?

    • More …

    • Less …

  • Any feedback about the vendor displays or location: good to have vendors close to food?

  • What could be better next year?

    • more time to talk with people you do meet

    • it’s hard to present a poster and still circulate to see the other posters

  • What do we want to do in Boston?

    • Visiting local VIVO/Profiles sites?

    • Scholarly inquiry at the Cambridge Brewing Company

    • Duck Boat Tour
