Current Work Contribution Role Ontology (CRO) The CRO, shown in the diagram at the right, was developed by the FORCE11 Attribution Working Group. This ontology extends the publication author roles in the Contributor Role Taxonomy (CRediT) based on an in-depth investigation of activities and outputs and requirements evaluation, in order to create a contributorship model that not only covers a diversity of contribution types beyond publications, but also covers a variety of research fields and is specific enough to meaningfully describe contribution. https://github.com/openrif/contribution-ontology SciENcv Alignment This work aims to align the US Federal Science Experts Network Curriculum Vitae XML Schema, which is used to create biographical sketches for federal funding applications, with the VIVO-ISF ontology. Goals include expanding the role of SciENcv in data exchange, widening the set of data sources used in research profiling analytics, and broadening the definition of researcher impact by facilitating the emergence of new standards relating to the contribution and attribution of researchers to a variety of scholarly products. This work is supported by NIH/NCATS Award 3 UL1 TR000128-10S1. https://github.com/openrif/sciencv-integration VIVO for Historical Persons (VIVO4HP) VIVO4HP is a project to extend the VIVO-ISF ontology to accommodate historical persons, using early Stuart diplomats. Current extensions address modeling diplomatic missions and historical dates. https://github.com/openrif/vivo4hp Who we are and what we contribute: The Open Research Information Framework as a means to understand scholarship Marijane White1, Shahim Essaid1, Matthew Brush1, Karen Gutzman3, Alexandre Rademaker4, Tenille Johnson5, Muhammad Javed6, Jon Corson-Rikert6, George Chacko7, Mike Conlon8, Alex Viggo9, Thea Lindquist9, Kristi Holmes3, Melissa Haendel1,3, Violeta Ilik3 1Ontology Development Group, Library, 2Department of Medical Informatics and Clinical Epidemiology, Oregon Health and Science University, Portland, OR; 3Galter Health Sciences Library, Northwestern University, Chicago, IL; 4IBM Research, Rio de Janerio, Brazil; 5Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA; 6Cornell University, Ithaca, NY; 7NET Esolutions Corporation, McLean, VA;8Duraspace, 9University of Colorado Boulder, Boulder, CO Follow Us! @OpenRIF http://www.openrif.org openrif-community@googlegroups.com Contribute! http://www.github.com/openrif openrif-dev@googlegroups.com What OpenRIF OpenRIF, the Open Research Information Framework, is an open source community devoted to representing the expertise ecosystem — all the things we do and all the things we contribute — by developing and promoting interoperable and extensible semantic infrastructure. Semantic Frameworks • VIVO Integrated Semantic Framework (VIVO-ISF), which represents people, works, and the relationships between them • Federated databases modeled on PARDI, the Portfolio Analysis and Reporting Data Infrastructure, for research impact and evaluation • eagle-i, which aims to make discoverable research resources and their relationships to scholarly activities. Alignment Opportunities OpenRIF seeks to align with other knowledge representation efforts: Future Work Implement Ontology Change Management • Formalize process for versioned ontology changes • Learn from the success of the Schema.org community Modularize the VIVO-ISF Ontology • Create external ontology modules • Create sub-graph ontology modules • Allow VIVO instances to use only the ontology they need Develop New Modules Research Outputs Ontology Academic Degrees Taxonomy Grants Taxonomy Expand Domain Coverage Beyond academic research and scholarship: • Industry Research • Open Source Software Contributions Align with Schema.org • Facilitate Search Engine Optimization (SEO) for web applications using VIVO-ISF Join the OBO Foundry Library • Increase exposure and usage of VIVO-ISF OpenRIF: Representing Expertise Ecosystems Why • Improve academic reporting by
