Theme: VIVO Visualization Working Group?
High level questions
- How should VIVO be updated in such a way to allow developers to more readily develop and integrate visualizations?
- Do visualizations belong in the core?
- How might the VIVO community be involved, to reduce cost of initial development and of long term maintenance?
- Can we build a working group to do this soon?
- Can we clarify what people working on the core need to do to support a visualization effort -- how would this fit with priorities for core development?
- How to facilitate visualization development without requiring Java development expertise?
- Which technologies are best-suited and most versatile for creating visualizations within VIVO?
- Existing visualization libraries
- OpenSocial, other?
- What is the best process by which new visualizations would be decided upon?
- Which visualizations and what use cases do they address?
Review Don’s project proposal and planning spreadsheet, and discuss his goal.
- Suggestion to maintain 4-5 visualizations in the core VIVO source code
- Defining a framework to easily add more visualizations to the core
- Can we tackle this work collaboratively, to reduce cost and increase sustainability?
Action items to keep this moving?
- Define a charter -- how to we know when we’ve succeeded?
- Identifying (or recruiting) the initial working group
- Selecting up a regular time to meet
