Deliverables

  1. A description of the scope of VIVO and its ontologies in content & quality.  In order to ensure that the scope is well-defined, it might help to collect local ontology extensions from individual implementations and see if there is a common need that VIVO doesn't address.
  2. Develop a process for reporting ontology needs.  Currently there are several places this might be done.  We should have a place that is sufficient for the work and can be shared broadly.
  3. Make two ontology changes (one relatively easy, and one that would require a change in the software) and then deliver a technical plan and a communication plan to support these changes.

Agenda

  1. Recap of discussion at Birds of a Feather meeting at conference.
  2. Next steps for deliverable 2 – a wiki page?
  3. Update on action items (see below)
  4. Process for making changes – see Ontology Change Process (draft) https://goo.gl/3ZMSwC
