Updates

• Brown – Load from banner system; list view config and ontology changes. Also loaded coauthors. Interface for faculty to approve publications that have been harvested.
• Colorado – Wrote out changes for VIVO Harvester; modified SPARQL translator to read in multiple models. Will document new classes.
• Cornell –  List view review is completed; did not gain much from some minor changes. Continuing with changes to the VIVO Cornell home page. Knowledge share of multi-site search to prepare for updates.
• Duke – 
• Florida – 
• Indiana – Able to visualize the UFL data in the map of science; still working on timing issues. Looking at the times for the specific queries that are called. Will send some of the problematic queries to Brian L. at Cornell.
• Johns Hopkins – Continuing to identify hardware requirements viz the Harvester. Trying to harvest 9k publications from PubMed, which took approximately 16 hours.
• Memorial University – 
• NYU – 
• Scripps (Michaeleen) –
  
  • New faculty often have publications in VIVO that pre-date their Scripps appointment. The publications affiliated with them as "Unknown Person" now need to appear on their new faculty profile pages. Working on how best to handle this: identifying duplicates prior to ingesting new records vs ingesting the duplicates then cleaning up.
  • Grant ingest: Senior administration identified the scope of the project to ingest grant data from NIH Reporter. We're going to ingest the most recent 5 fiscal years and capture the following fields: grant awarded by (which NIH institute); PI name(s); title of grant; description (mult-paragraph text); grant number; start date; end date (for whole award period); direct funding amount; indirect funding amount; NIH ID number of PI; which campus received the award (CA vs FL)
• Stony Brook – 
• UCLA – 
• UCSF – OpenSocial: had been looking for a standard library to convert RDF into JSON and identified one. Also use an ingest tool to pull grant data from the NIH Reporter. Planning a workshop for the VIVO conference in August. Would like to be able to harvest multi-media content, which they have a lot of in their VIVO.
• WashU – Working on various things for the conference in August.
• Weill Cornell – No performance issues since the 15th. Will be doing inferencing after each harvest. One early harvester issue was caused by not declaring UTF-8. Ongoing performance testing to see if they can duplicate the error that caused the issue on the 15th. Looking into garbage collection.

Upcoming events

2013 VIVO Conference – Workshops Proposals due March 29

• The 4th annual VIVO Conference will be held on August 14-16 in St. Louis
• The Call for Workshop Proposals is now out with a deadline to submit workshop proposals by March 29
• The Call for Papers should be out soon – stay tuned – the goal is to give paper and poster presenters early feedback on what has been accepted to help people make their travel plans
• topics you'd like to attend if somebody else organizes?
  
  • Solr functionality in VIVO and how it supports not only search but display functionalities – and relates to caching
  • (please add others)

2013 Implementation Fest – April 25-26 at CU Boulder

• Looking for some estimates of numbers – would be helpful to make sure we have sessions in the right rooms
• It would also be helpful to have feedback from people who can't attend but would join by video link – send an email to Jon (jc55 at cornell) to be added as a remote attendee so that you can indicate the sessions you want to attend on the sched.org site.  We will need to know in advance the sessions needing WebEx or the H.323 bridge at Stony Brook.
• A community hands-on development day is planned as an optional additional activity on Saturday the 27th, e.g. working on internationalization
  
  • We have interest from Costa Rica, Mexico, and France in principle – there's one room choice option that has H.323 videoconferencing
• Read the vivoweb.org blog entry, and the 2013 VIVO Implementation Fest page has information on transportation and hotels
• A registration page is now live – note that there is no registration fee for the workshop
• A DRAFT schedule is available for preview on sched.org (including for mobile view) and as a Google Doc
