Current open issues

• From Mike Conlon: "How to represent that a person is no longer associated with the university? It's becoming more obvious that we have many people in VIVO that are no longer at UF. We need information representation, then display, and likely some places where formers are filtered out of displays and lists."
• Courses and semester classes
• Radio and TV programs
• Representing and displaying re-publication or performance
• Progress on the Knowledge Mobilization Ontology interest group
