OFIS Notes from 20 May, 2010

Past CS tasks

Today:

• Daniel: fixing user info: replace "Department of" with blank, if "School of"?
  • Decision to remove it entirely.
  • Also for reports that say "Department of"... I can look at it; ignoring Engr. specific reports.
• Daniel: http://uhuru.uwaterloo.ca/refbase/ ? a prof's own setup for his papers. not a faculty project.
  • Beth says engr faculty excited about refbase interface in OFIS.
• Jack reported on fixes for Research Support interface
• Marlon: Office of Research: imported 50K records back to 1999; next step, putting into OFIS.
  • 30K shouldn't be imported... 500 or so are by title ("director of faculty") not name? don't bother trying to track down.
• Marlon: HR: multiple records for same person: which to pick as authoritative?
• setting up refbase meeting. how ofis will talk to it; engr test server for refbase (over network) ; directions.

Upcoming Tasks:

• Daniel will fix CS Research Book code for order of display
• Daniel will update user info (removing "Department of") and remove from reports.
