VIVO Overview – a quick tour for a hands-on workshop or self-tour
VIVO is an open source, semantic-web tool for research and scholarship discovery. VIVO supports searching, browsing and visualizing research activity and discovering linkages among people, programs, funding, scholarly works, events across disciplines at one institution or, through a prototype at vivosearch.org, across a distributed set of organizations. VIVO's search returns results faceted by type for rapid retrieval of desired information.

- Learning about VIVO as software, as an ontology, and as a community with many active participating individuals and institutions
- Understanding how VIVO fits into several quite different environments, from small research organizations to whole universities and distributed consortia
- Gaining basic insights into the Semantic Web technologies VIVO uses
