Books for VIVO Looking to build a VIVO library?&n= bsp; From time to time, we will have recommendations regarding books releva= nt to the VIVO community. Through study, you can learn more about ont= ology, queries, information representation, and the approaches VIVO uses to= collect, represent, and provide information about scholarship, and share t= hat information with others.
This month, we start at the beginning, with "the VIVO Book". Writt= en by community members in 2012, the VIVO book has edited chapters regardin= g information models, ingesting data, querying data, and the future of VIVO= . From the preface:
The world of scholarship is changing rapidly. Increasing demands on scho= lars, the growing size and complexity of questions and problems to be addre= ssed, and advances in sophistication of data collection, analysis, and pres= entation require new approaches to scholarship. A ubiquitous, open informat= ion infrastructure for scholarship, consisting of linked open data, open-so= urce software tools, and a community committed to sustainability are emergi= ng to meet the needs of scholars today.
