VIVO Expert Finder Update
M. Conlon June 10, 2014
2
Why an Expert Finder? Collaboration is the future of scholarship
Finding experts can be difficult Cost/benefit for development is changing with new tools We have the data
3
How: Architecture
4
The Data Papers -> Concepts, Papers -> People (Experts)
Concepts on papers – PubMed and other indexing services associate concepts with papers People on papers as authors Associate people to concepts on which they have published At UF: 25,878 people with papers 18,520 concepts 20,408 papers with concepts
5
A Detour Through Histograms
We’d like to see the data. We start with simple histograms Good for learning SPARQL, JSON, Ajax, D3 Good for learning about our data Demo Ajax histogram for org types Demo JSON Histogram for org types Concept counts and its SPARQL query Concepts per paper and its SPARQL query
6
Connect Concepts to People via Papers
Tumor Suppressor Protein p53 William Stratford May, Jr “Strat” May has written two papers on Tumor Suppressor Protein, p53
7
So we will need a lot of data
All concepts, all people, all papers, connected = VIVO! But we need to have some pre-counted JSON data ready for web requests = a concordance So we use Python to process a SPARQL query concordance result set and create a JSON concordance Oops. Too big. We need another approach So we use Python for each concept to find concurrent concepts and authors So we use Python to subset the concordance and select “dense” connections Now we’re ready
8
What – bi-modal force directed graph of concepts and people
9
The real thing The concordance subset process has trimmed the concordance globally to only concepts that appear two or more times, co-occurrence of concepts must be at least two. Authors must have published at least two papers regarding the concept. For a specific concept, find all the co-occurring concepts, and for each concept, find all the people who have published on that concept. Produce a JSON file ready for display. See make_graph_json.py The resulting JSON is then shown using a force-directed bi-modal graph. See Demo
10
Next Steps Size concept nodes on number of papers
Size author nodes in two rings – inner ring size based on number of papers on the concept. Outer ring on the number of papers total Weight connects on the number of papers in the connection Provide hover navigation for concepts to the concept in VIVO, people to their profile in VIVO, links to a display of the papers comprising the connection (with links for each paper to VIVO) Provide user controls for trimming and positioning the network Provide a means for accessing all the concordance data without having to generate a new JSON file via Python Provide recentering – double click on concept or author to redraw the network around the select concept or author Provide output for identifying people of interest (experts)
