OFIS Notes from 06 May, 2010

Past CS tasks

• Daniel:
  • imported CS data to live (as Marlon was about to flush dev system).
  • added the two users from Math to live system.
  • gave Noki a copy of a prof's NSERC form 100 data as requested, for him to use as template.
  • Prepping for profs using OFIS to make their research book. (June?)

Today: [Deferred from week]

• Priorities for term:
  • Daniel: data accuracy; import from bibtex debugged.

• Daniel: Report: Demo for profs.
  • many votes for NSERC freeform data entry (but don't want to see data auto-uploaded to NSERC website; don't trust interactions of systems). Nobody said they DON'T want NSERC freeform data entry.
  • Charlie Clark in Software Enginineering:
    • questions on university privacy policy. "How do we know where grad student data is used? Eg., NSERC restricts usage. It would be sensible to be able to publicly present grad names, degree, and date, if that is allowed."
• "There should be a statement like 'Information is released in accordance with University Privacy Policy.'"
  • Therese Biedl in CS:
    • missing grad students under Supervision: shouldn't this report as an error as well?
    • has a very useful body of data on bibtex imports. Found errors.

Upcoming Tasks:

• Daniel will fix CS Research Book code for order of display
  • look up email to the list: bibtex-using prof, wants to test.
• still to ask:
  • "2234 manuscript pages" - where does that come from? End-page isn't supposed to be a range, is it?
  • logic for page-ranges: holes around "" or 0 for source, n for end
