Ontology Improvement Task Force

Mike Conlon edited this page Mar 7, 2018 · 8 revisions

A VIVO project task force is considering how best to implement processes for ontological improvement.

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.

Call Notes

The VIVO-ISF ontology is an information standard for representing scholarly work.
