  1. Mathias Brochhausen Breakout Group Report

  2. What efforts existing to measure scientific impact? • Nigam Shah: ontology-based method to measuring scientific impact in medicine • huge data bases • tailored to Nigam • Expand Google Scholar to capture citations in e.g. clinical guidelines • Should be imported to Faculty Reporting (e.g. • We need requirements list for faculty reporting system? • Specify population you work with (elderly, children, etc.) for community service in general (including talks & teaching) • VIVO • Can Google Scholar data be imported into VIVO? • against Google Scholar policy

  3. What efforts existing to measure scientific impact? • David Shotton • narrative statements in Excel • Paolo Ciccarese • Challenge: • How do you translate into ISF? • How do you make faculty do it • Auto-tagging • Auto-pull

  4. What efforts existing to measure scientific impact? • SchemaWeb (www.schema.org) • Project embraced by google and other big players • small ontology; encourages people to tag their data with this small ontology • Develop or decide upon a CTSA ISF CV ontology for faculty reporting • Get benefits from getting organizations to use the same tags. • check Paolo's work, check possibility of re-use • Dublin Core

  5. What efforts aid in the evaluation of CTSA activity and outcomes? • 20 (out of 60) CTSA sites use VIVO • How could we best go about extending the ISF idea to other beneficiaries? • The CTSAs are mandated to show, how it transforms translational research within their entire organization. • This creates pressure on the CTSA, due to the fact that they need to spend CTSA money BEYOND the limits of merely the CTSA member

  6. What efforts aid in the evaluation of CTSA activity and outcomes? • Explore ways how to export from Scival, Lattice Grid, Loki, Digital Vita, Stanford Cap into the ISF ontology (This is independent from running VIVO software.) • con: cost issue • pro: Would allow cross CTSA discovery and comparison.

  7. How have open ontologies helped and could help in these efforts? • Comparability • Discoverability • Transportability of the data in a software independent way • Not only to find data, but to use it! • Vendors will not like this, due to business model.

  8. What roles can the CTSA and the OAG play in that context? • CTSA (via NIH) needs to use its weight in the market to force vendors to agree to change of standards. • Disciplinary societies need to help with this. • The NCBO is eager to provide ontology workshop in bi disciplinary meetings. • Come up with common definition of "ontology" for the CTSA • How would we within the OAG define "ontology" • How can we get the CTSA to accept that definition? • Explore what is needed to expand OBI or OGMS or OMRSE to cover clinical and research assessment outcomes
