Researcher portfolio extension & NIMS plan

 * high priority
 * NIMS need to provide a more clear interface for the researcher protfolio
 * not jet ingested the NIMS data for cone service (700 researchers)
 * as long as the mpdl has the data, it is not a problem to ingest it
 * cone it not ready yet for differentiation in administration --> data modification only possible for a general administrator
 * the availability of an only NIMS administrator will not be possible till next year, similar to the possibility that each individual can change his data himself on the researcher portfolio
 * at the moment, the mpdl can not say when next year they can implement this requirements --> mpdl is doing the planing in the next week and then will inform NIMS about the results
 * for NIMS this function is very high priority (they plan to use the interface in Feb 2010)
 * at the moment NIMS can get an administrator account for the whole cone service but should only use it for NIMS data, not for the MPDL data
 * thats ok for NIMS

Virtual server settings
'''
 * Nihon server: it is set up and running; Lars already send around accounts
 * organizational unit and contexts can be set up by NIMS themselves (using the admin solution)
 * '''NIMS wants to change the URL of the server --> Lars will contact NIMS

Faces

 * sorting
 * error message should be displayed if sorting for a metadata is not possible
 * mpdl started to set up a virtual server where to ingest the diamonds pictures --> when that is finished, NIMS will be get a note
 * at the moment, mpdl is working on a bug fix release till the end of next week, afterworlds we will upload the nims pictures (they will be available at the end of October)
 * if the schedule will be delayed, mpdl will inform NIMS
 * controlled vocabulary for some metadata
 * to allow a better quality of the metadata the usage of controlled vocabulary would be useful
 * at the moment NIMS doesn't need a Japanese version of FACES
 * NIMS would like to have more statistics --> future development of FACES, ideas will be collected on the Faces_Statistics page

MultipleImport of items

 * high priority
 * NIMS wants to test the multiple import somewhere --> they can use the migration server of the mpdl
 * NIMS needs a possibility for person IDs (Natasa will check if thats possible with the migration server)
 * mpdl has a test instance for cone, thats sure
 * automatic matching between cone data and the authors of an automatic ingestion of publications can be done if the authors are written in exactly the same way in the cone service and in the publication
 * ownership: each user gets an own account --> for each researcher the data has to be ingested separately on his account --> after the automatic ingestion, each user can changes his data them self via his own account --> thats the only way NIMS sees at the moment --> that's the scenario of ingesting data on behalf of someone else
 * the change of the ownership is not planed to be implemented
 * possible work around: to ingest the data in different context and give the researcher the moderator role for "their context" --> only for past publications

two issues:
 * how to create 700 accounts
 * mpdl has a utility that can do the batch creation of the accounts: python library in the admin interface
 * mpdl will send NIMS more information about how to use the utility
 * --> perhaps now it is a godd moment to think about a new instance for NIMS, so that not all these accounts are running on the mpdl instance and are not coupled with the mps repository
 * how to ingest the publications of these 700 researchers to their corresponding accounts (multiple ingest)
 * should be done in November
 * mpdl team will think about this requirements and will give feedback to NIMS (but first tests can already be done manually on the test server)

CoNE Persons improvements
New field required from NIMS for CoNE persons: "Academic society", where the researcher is a member
 * is that only the name of an organization or contain more information (similar to an affiliation) like how long does the person belong to the organization, since when did the organization exist, etc.
 * Natasa has to check if the new field will be available when ingesting the NIMD researcher data --> thats high priority for NIMS; mpdl will do their best
 * --> only the name of the society is needed by NIMS

Mass batch submission of NIMS researchers
 * data about 700 researchers has to be ingested
 * the data has to be prepared in a special way (Michael will send some more infos to Masao, today ore tomorrow)
 * NIMS has to prepare the data in the required format
 * mpdl or NIMS will do the ingestion
