Research networking systems (RNS), such as VIVO and Digital Vita (DV), p=
rovide an important source of information about researchers=E2=80=99 public=
ations, grants and other accomplishments. Their primary purpose is to facil=
itate the discovery of researcher interests and the establishment of high-i=
mpact, productive collaborations. While these functions are important, they=
are not sufficient to fully incentivize adoption of RNSs among their targe=
t audiences. Importantly, RNSs must provide other direct and tangible benef=
its to be fully adopted. Among these benefits is the ability for researcher=
s to generate various documents relevant to their work, such as a Curriculu=
m Vitae (CV), NIH biosketches, evaluation forms and online profile pages fr=
om their RNS profile data. Digital Vita (DV), the University of Pittsburgh=
=E2=80=99s RNS for biomedical researchers, has, since its inception, allowe=
d faculty to maintain their full CV data, and to generate NIH biosketches a=
nd the University of Pittsburgh-specific health sciences CV.
The focus of this proposal is to port Digital Vita=E2=80=99s document gene=
ration functions to the VIVO platform, generalize them, and to provide a si=
mple Web application for VIVO users to manage and generate NIH biosketches.=
Subsequent to the project period, this Web application could be implemente=
d as part of the VIVO application.
The development of DV Docs described in this proposal has three goals: (= 1) develop a method to output personal profile data stored in VIVO as struc= tured, well-formatted documents in rtf or pdf format; (2) provide a general= ized, template-based approach for developers to modify the format and/or co= ntent of generated documents in order to allow them to create new documents= based on the VIVO data model; and (3) provide a basic, standalone Web appl= ication to edit and generate full NIH biosketches based on functionality cu= rrently implemented in DV. The first two of these goals provide an importan= t addition to the VIVO infrastructure by allowing VIVO developers to levera= ge document generation functions that we have implemented already in Digita= l Vita. Generalizing these functions through our second goal enables develo= pers to create customized documents that are adapted to the local, regional= or national context. The third goal offers end users the important capabil= ity to edit and output NIH biosketches based on their VIVO data. This appli= cation will be available to end users at the end of the project period, and= we anticipate that its functionality will be integrated with the VIVO appl= ication code base subsequently.
