4. Ingest of material from the Force16 collection at Figshare (extensible to any collection on Figshare)
5. Real-time addition of publications to a faculty profile by specifying a DOI or PubMed ID
6. Standard RDF for journals, dates, and organizations
7. Use of FAST as a standard vocabulary for research areas
8. Publication of Open VIVO data to GitHub
9. Consumption of Open VIVO data in CTSA Search
10. Demonstration of a controlled vocabulary for attribution  and contribution to scholarly works
11. Provide a hosted Open VIVO platform that anyone with an ORCiD can join

Many elements of Open VIVO will find their way into future releases of VIVO.  Sign on procedures, RDF data, attribution ontology, interactive addition of works via DOI and others will be added to VIVO for all sites to use.  An export utility is planned for extracted data from Open VIVO regarding a particular institution.  Using this tool, local data stewards will be able to extract data from Open VIVO pertaining to their organization, and add it to their local VIVO.
