1. 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?”

2. 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

3. 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

4. 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/Directori es/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

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

6. 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

7. 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
