MIT VIVO Ontology Mapping – Grants and Publications

My colleague Sean Thomas and I are currently working on evaluating the open-source semantic web application VIVO [ http://vivoweb.org/ ] for MIT.  Our latest investigation is how to best model grant data and relate it to other entities in the system, specifically authors and publications.

The desire is to have a better grasp on compliance with NIH (National Institutes of Health) publication requirements, specifically with PubMed and PubMed Central.

Taking some queues from how the University of Florida and Cornell have modeled this type of data, and sketching out our own pseudo-ontological mappings for entities they haven’t mapped, we’ve come up with a first draft of how we imagine this will look (below).  I’m sure this will evolve and I haven’t double-checked this for accuracy against the VIVO Core ontology, but it is at least a start…

    Have you done any additional work on this since September? If so, is there an update somewhere?

    Pamarkes, we continue to work on this, but do not yet have an update to publish. We expect this to happen in the next month, and I’ll be sure to publish the next pass. If you have any further questions you can reach me via my mit email address which is just my first name.

    Cheers,

    Sands
