Eliza’s Demo

Extending and customizing the VIVO functionality for listing publications in Weill-Cornell researcher profiles.

Eliza shows the way they have customized the publications list on the individual profile page. It required modifications to three template files, and the use of the TinySort plugin for JQuery. Some of their functions are based on data that they get from Scopus (number of citations), and they can create links to Scopus information because their library is a subscriber to Scopus.

Eiza will post the code on the Duraspace Wiki.

  • Lukas Koster at the University of Amsterdam still has a question about the Java requirement, given this statement: "We recommend starting with Java 7 since Java 6 is no longer supported." But in the Vivo 1.5 installation guide it says: "Java (SE) 1.6.x... VIVO does not work with Java 1.7"
    • Jim Blake replied seeking clarification – is anyone running 1.5 with Java 7 in production?
    • Stony Brook is using Java 1.7 with VIVO 1.52 in production, and 1.6 will require Java 7.
  • Han at RPI asked about querying against the VIVO built-in sparql endpoint by sending an http GET request.
    • Jon and Brian Caruso responded with some of the options, including 1.6 support for specifying credentials
  • Patrick at RPI followed up about issues with a cloned VIVO site. 
    • Jim and John Fereira provide feedback... Java debugging ensued... Jim provided a revised source file for [vitro]/webapp/web/error.jsp. The page may still fail under some circumstances. However, it will write the original error to vivo.all.log before doing anything else.
    • Running into a known cascading issue with the JSPs, with a fix targeted for VIVO 1.7. Hotfix available from Jim to help with debugging errors thrown in JSPs in 1.6 and 1.5.x.
  • Jon checks in with Michel in Netherlands about his progress connecting VIVO to a TDB triple store, and data ingest options.
