VIVO Core Technology: the Year in Review, the Year Ahead
Keywords: strategic initiatives, technical summary
TL;DR: This session offers a summary of core technical activities since last year's VIVO conference.
Abstract: The diversity, energy and innovation in the VIVO community is inspirational. Community initiatives are strong, as are contributions back to the core application. One of the VIVO project's primary objectives is to channel, where appropriate, community effort into the core application towards agreed upon outcomes. We are delighted to say that this has been happening!
This presentation will not attempt to detail all of the technical efforts over the past year, but will highlight a range of advancements and milestones accomplished since the previous VIVO conference. In the context of reviewing the year’s activity, this session is also intended to solicit feedback from attendees on technical and community initiatives and processes.
At the end of 2018, the VIVO Leadership Group collected input from the community and created a "Statement of VIVO's Product Direction for 2019”. This statement details four strategic initiatives:
* Modernize the presentation layer of VIVO
* Decouple the architecture
* VIVO Combine
* VIVO Search
Following the publication of this statement, an architecturally-minded team representing distinct VIVO stakeholder constituencies was gathered for the purpose of developing architectural approaches required to address the direction of the project. The primary goal of the two-day face-to-face meeting was to assess and document a plan for improving the VIVO application architecture towards enabling and realizing the technical efforts defined in the "Statement of VIVO's Product Direction for 2019".
This presentation will include a detailed status of the completed as well as planned development activities following from the decisions of the architectural meeting.
