2. WOLFcon 2022
Hajo was unable to attend the meeting, so no updates were provided.
Some placeholder sessions were proposed on the WOLFcon schedule.
We are still awaiting details on whether payment will be required for online participation.
André and Hajo have been discussing the possibility of setting up a workshop for some special interest group / consortium level discussions.
3. Documentation
Demian has reorganized the Open Data Sources page and removed some outdated information. Some of the newly-created subpages need to be reviewed and updated:
- MeSH needs to be updated to reflect the latest version of the standard
- DoAJ needs to be tested and updated
- InTech Open needs to be tested and potentially moved to a bundled example rather than code-in-wiki.
- NDLTD needs to be tested and updated to reflect code in Git rather than SVN
- PubMed Central needs to be tested and updated
- Linked Data needs to be reviewed and updated
Demian will continue updating subpages as time permits.
