The VIVO and Fedora communities have recognized their potential complementarity for some time, as is natural given the origins of both in the library community. These discussions have typically focused either on ways Fedora could complement a typical VIVO or in return on how VIVO could complement a typical Fedora repository.
With the rapid growth of the Hydra community and the transition from Fedora 3 to Fedora 4 and its greater emphasis on RDF there new opportunities for closer connections between VIVO and Fedora, both at the Vitro (software only) and VIVO (software plus ontology plus ontology-related customizations to Vitro) levels.
