    • Working with Provost’s office on displaying organizational structure in VIVO, thus filling a real need on campus.

  • Colorado (Stephen & Alex)

    • Working on testing 1.6 of VIVO starting with our UCCS data.  We’ll send in tickets to Jira later today (and confirm tickets if they already exist)

    • Beginning to wireframe visualizations using D3.js and Google’s API and our VIVO data.

    • 2013 curation in Elements is finished and our curators are going back in time

    • Will be looking at Harvester integration with VIVO 1.6

    • Sheri: will version 1.6 include an LCSH service call? Answer: yes!

  • EPA (Zac)

    • No updates again today, sorry. 

  • Memorial (Max)

    • Working on a Drupal application…[sorry didn’t catch the details]

    • Correction: Memorial is continuing to work with Stella as a migration analyst.

    • Looking for third party VIVO consultant as Stella who was consulting on a project basis with them, but has moved to a full-time job -- also VIVO docs need updating for 1.5/1.6

      • Stephen recommended posting this to the VIVO dev list, as some older VIVO NIH project developers might have interest and availability

      • Alex to follow up with Max offline about tracking down a possible consultant; it’s important that the project (DuraSpace) maintains and provides a list of consultants, vendors, or interested former VIVO developers

      • Paul: what’s the best way to publicize your need and solicit consultants?

        • There are a lot of other semantic web developers outside the VIVO community (see LinkedIn Semantic Web groups -- is there a VIVO wiki page for this?) who might be drawn into the VIVO project.

  • RPI - Patrick out today, but interested in possible VIVO/CKAN integration demo next week

  • Scripps (Michaeleen) - no update today

    • Does the Implementation Fest rate apply to Saturday night? Who should I contact?

    • Stephen: try calling the hotel

    • Alex: still working out a schedule, but considering a hackathon on Tuesday; possible Friday sponsor meeting

    • Update: Julia Trimmer at Duke will contact the Hilton to discuss the possibility of extending the VIVO rate to include Monday and Saturday nights

  • Stony Brook (Tammy) - loaded data on to VIVO Stony Brook Medicine, converted from VIVO 1.5.2 to VIVO 1.6 rc 2.  I know rc2 is not officially “ready” yet, but… I’m happy to report that it appears to be working very nicely!

    • Although, one strange little thing happens - when you log in, a few rogue predicates are visible under “Other” (“bearer of”, “has contact info”, “participates in”, “related by”).  “Related by” shows some good things -- the labels for grant name and position name.  But it also shows only the URI for the authorship(s).

    • First look at a VIVO 1.6 instance with data?

    • Paul to talk with Tammy about modeling medical expertise data

    • Might be a 1.6-specific bug modeling organizations

  • UCSF (Eric)

    • Would be willing to do an OpenSocial demo at a future implementation call

    • Alex: you should try to attend the Implementation Fest -- interest in OpenSocial and ORNG, and Profiles’ VIVO RDF

  • Virginia Tech (Julie)

    • No major updates; been working on other projects

    • Beginning of the search process to find two systems engineers (one for VIVO and Symplectic Elements and another for cloud management)

  • Weill Cornell (Paul, Eliza)

    • VIVO is in Large Pilot stage

    • Struggling to remove/subtract data from graphs using site admin tools

    • Stephen: this has been a recurring bug in Harvester; Eliza: but we are using the site admin tool

    • Brian: normally this should work; we might have to go offline and see what the problem is

    • Eliza to send out message describing the problem to dev-all list

  • any others?

Next Thursday’s call

  • Alex: what about two demos next week - VIVO/CKA and OpenSocial?

  • Stephen: sounds good; we should do the release update, the two demos, and then the updates pending time

  • CAS and VIVO – (John from Memorial) – Is anyone using it, and if so, do you have any good anecdotes or documentation to share? Our institutional single sign-on is built on a stock CAS instalI.

    • Notre Dame may have done so in the past but is not pursuing it.

    • Tammy is using CAS.

    • I hear no

  • How are user accounts associated with profile pages?
