edu-harmonization's Issues

Point of contacts for ontology work

Identify point of contacts for ontology work on any identified platforms/teams so we can plan ontology work and complete preliminary mappings (e.g. Erudite, 4D, etc)

Design strategic plan

Strategic plan focused on landscape analysis of CTSA investments (nationally and locally) with respect to discovery, metadata, users/personas etc to understand NCATS educational resource ecosystem. This can leverage Phase 1 Competency mapping work.

Determine what needs to be in it from following stakeholders perspectives (use Personas, @saragon02):

• CTSA hub implementation
• K, T scholars
• Educators
• Workforce Development DTF
• NCATS
• etc.

It should have sections for search, curation, metadata/ontology development, QA, currency, attribution, versioning.

Requirements for EDU CD2H faceted search (prototype)

Perform requirements for embedding edu search tools into CTSA hub sites

We want discovery mechanisms into local hub websites etc that allow search of their own as well as filterable network level resources. This is focused on educational resources in this instance but is part of larger CD2H initiative re resource discovery (Lead CD2H wide is @eichmann - coordinated with him and rest of that team).

Curate initial round of CTSA "gems" as examples to assess metadata/ontology

Curation of CTSA "gems" from each CTSA will help improve engagement, will support requirements analysis for the ontologies, search and attribution, assist in development of more refined evaluation metrics and will ultimately make some of the most valuable resources more discoverable.
Steps:
A. Community outreach to assist in landscape analysis
B. Initial Exemplar “jewels” requested / socializing of idea of CTSA jewels
C. . Assessment of educational resources with respect to metadata, discovery and ease of re-use

Perform ontology gap analysis via curation of CTSA/gems

what ontologies need to be extended to serve the requirements? what are their sources? what already exists in addition to N-lighten?

Resource Estimate for next steps

Perform mapping/alignment of ontologies

Mapping and alignment of Erudite meta-data/ontology (https://bioint.github.io/erudite-training-resource-standard/) to CD2H metadata working group (leveraging schema.org) to facilitate interoperability of resources. This would allow this to be mapped this to N-Lighten ontology to improve discoverability by N-Lighten (CD2H Meta-Data/Ontology curation support)

perform requirements edu resource curation/discovery from CTSA websites

We need to understand how to best help hubs reveal their edu resources automatically using proper metadata/ontologies and schema.org @newgene @kristiholmes

Create template for landscape analysis

This should include information about:

• the platform or source
• content types
• metadata requirements or use
• Ontology requirements or use
• Search functionality
• curation functionality
• ability to keep resources current
• connectivity to other systems, such as institutional student systems
• Attribution
• licensing
