Modeling relationships
Example Scenario
Melissa creates mouse1 David creates mouse2 Layne uses performs RNAseq analysis on mouse1 and mouse2 to generate dataset3, which he subsequently curates and analyzes
Layne writes publication pmid:12345 about the results of his analysis
Layne explicitly credits Melissa as an author but not David.
Credit is connected
=> Credit to Melissa is asserted, but credit to David can be inferred
Attribution comes with provenance
=> Reproducibility also enables attribution

A little VIVO-ISF History
eagle-i is an ontology-driven application . . . for collecting and searching research resources.
VIVO is an ontology-driven application . . . for collecting anddisplaying information about people.
CTSAconnect produced a single Integrated Semantic Framework, a modular collection of ontologies that also includes clinical expertise
This new research activity exchange standard is VIVO-ISF

Roles can be hierarchal
Representation of more general or more specific roles
Definitions are inherited
Role based queries enable aggregate results
Extensibile by end users to address local needs
Computable when represented in a formal language
What kind of questions can we ask? Find all people who made contributions to a given
publication
Find all publications or research entities to which a person has contributed
Track what types of contributions a person made during their post-doc
Find all persons at my institution who have contributed to publications as a data curator or software developer
Find all papers that used software developed by a given person
Find all research entities that are related to the funding of a particular grant
