Group 2 Lead: Brian Butler Participants: Michael Wardlow Elaine - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Breakout Session on “ What NRN Applications Exist and/or Are Desirable? ” Group 2 Lead: Brian Butler Participants: Michael Wardlow – Elaine Collier – Mike Conlon – Robert McDonald – Ying Ding – Janos Hajagos – Neo Martinez

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

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