VIVO software/business can be to represent information about people and their productivity; a business case

• The DNA of VIVO is that the data can be shared; there will be uses that will be one-off rather than large usage
• The pitch needs to be shorter--this organization is looking to maintain VIVO as the key extensible information research platform
• Create and share data about scholarly work; what rather than how we do it

One strategic tactic would be to create a simple VIVO

• Brilliant design to the platform is to take in any amount of scholarly work; we did a fabulous job on a core purpose
• Agreement on the mission

Alliances with VIVO

• Other projects and DuraSpace
• Developing ecosystems--in repos, publishers; we want to make it shareable, we knit things together
• We are natural partners and can allow connectivity
• We need a place at the table for conversations about machine-enabled data transmission from…
• Map Fedora and VIVO ontologies? Yes
• Andrew Woods is asking for use cases
• In favor of a strategic relationship with Fedora

Not in the business of supporting internal admin function at an institution?

• Offices of sponsored programs need compliance info and can get it from VIVO, careful about where we draw the line
• Have information to support the admin function and the publishing function
• If its easy to get data out of VIVO it makes it easier

Spurring adoption and enabling implementation

• Lots of ideas, need a product manager
• Leadership or leading, right words? It is a leadership "product"
• For more users, survey is a start
  • how data is collected is good piece of documentation
  • negotiating adoption is key information
  • cannonical institutional models would be good
