Group 2

Lead: Brian Butler Participants: Michael Wardlow – Elaine Collier – Mike Conlon – Robert McDonald – Ying Ding – Janos Hajagos – Neo Martinez Breakout Session on “What NRN Applications Exist and/or Are Desirable?”

General Considerations

• Serves as many people or institutions as possible
• Tools to get work done
• Search Tools –
• What is in the conversation?

– VIVO – LOKI – Harvard Catalyst Profiles – Stanford CAPS – Google Apps – Confluence – MediaWiki – BaseCamp – Sharepoint – Community of Science – Biomed Experts – Lattice Web – Goto Meeting

General Considerations cont...

• Research Networking

– What is the Research Networking Stack

• Networking Applications - VIVO-LOKI-CAPS-Catalyst
• Semantic Layer for Sharing Data

– Creating more connections locally to work outside of the local – Ontology

• Tools to work with data
• Data Infrastructure to populate the networking tools and

infrastructure

– Idm/LDAP/Directories/HR ERP Data

– Tools need to be network enabled – Scuba Divers vs Fish – gaps between the two in this analogy – Universities – how to go from IdM/LDAP/Directories

Existing NRN Tools

– VIVO – LOKI – Harvard Catalyst Profiles – Digital Vita – Stanford CAPS – Google Apps – Confluence – MediaWiki – BaseCamp – Sharepoint – Community of Science – Biomed Experts – Lattice Web – Goto Meeting – IdM/LDAP/ Directories/HR ERP – Kindle Shared Annotations – Facebook – Mendeley – Research Gate – Research Crossroads – Digital Measures – Symplectic – Research in View – MySciet – Pure – IEEE Portal – ACM Portal – SciiVal

– Individual Tools – Professional Tools – Association Tools – Research Group Specific Tools

Existing NRN Services

– People Search – Precise Semantic Search – New Info Alert Service – Document Mgmt Service-CV-Vita – Relationship with

• ther

researchers service

Desirable/Needed NRN Tools and Services

• How to query a system for... – Who at my university is most like Jim Hendler?

– SciVal uses a fingerprint profile to segregate scholars in like groups

• General tools that can help get data into the semantic layer
• Semantic Tools that can work with other network enabled tools

– RDFizer – D2R Map

• End-User Interfaces

– Administrative Report Generator – Space Visualization – Personnel Management – Researcher Notification (New Data – New Entries) – Document Management (Vita Builder) – Public Relations Lead Generator – University Foundation Fundraising Interface – Research Admin Grant Program/Team Matching – Funding Announcement from any org/institution – come in the next day – parsed information – suggested teams from an institution – Bundle identification (people/labs/equipment/resources) for context specific packages – Reporting Tools for Large Distributed Grant Teams – back to agencies and funders

Associated Challenges and Opportunities

• Ex. GoogleTalk – microsoft im and yahoo im hooking into

googletalk

• Using SPARQL Endpoint like OpenAPI
• How to get VIVO or tools like it in place at institutions

– Lower the cost – Show the benefit – Audience

• Administrators
• Investigators
• Administrator will fund Semantic tools that offer

– Efficiency for research reporting – Effectiveness for funding agency relationships
