The Value of VIVO
VIVO provides value as an open platform:
- for building and linking networks of curated, authoritative, structured high-quality linked open data for flexible and customizable use and re-use and integration.
- by supporting attribution, contribution, and collaboration within (and across – aspirational) diverse organizations and disciplines.
- by encouraging innovative browsing and exploration of scholarly output through search engine optimization and engaging visualizations.
- by providing an integrated toolset for ontologies and semantic web technologies, thus reducing the need for numerous independent tools and enhancing usability by integrating decentralized sources of data.
- based on robust ontologies designed around relationships, roles, and activities over time to accommodate diverse disciplines, new domains (aspirational), alternative metrics, and contributor roles.
- supported by a community of experienced, engaged members passionate about sharing knowledge.
- that presents an immediate, up-to-date, complete organizational presence and its capabilities.
