Please help make this catalog better. Add any apps or tools and links and contacts for the maintainers.
| Tool Name | Description | Contact |
|---|---|---|
| VIVO Vagrant | a virtual machine for development that can load an empty vivo. Can be stored in git or other source control repository. Allows the use of scripting to configure and load with data with automation. Open issues on Github or submit pull requests to request features or ask questions. https://github.com/lawlesst/vivo-vagrant | Ted Lawless from Brown |
| VIVO Docker | This project contains code for dockerizing VIVO. In particular, it supports creating the containers to compile and deploy the VIVO application; to extend the application with GWU specific configuration, including a local ontology, for use as an example for extending the app image for local setting; to instantiate a MySQL db; to instantiate an instance of Tomcat for the app to run in; and to provide an environment for loading VIVO. | Justin Littman from George Washington University (justinlittman at gmail.com) |
| multisite VIVO search | Brian Caruso (bdc34@cornell.edu) and Jim Blake (jeb228@cornell.edu) | |
| VIVO Searchlight | browser bookmarklet for finding people across VIVO sites based on the content of the page you are on. uses search index from vivosearch.org | Miles Worthington (mw542@cornell.edu) |

| Digital Vita Docs (DV Docs) for VIVO | The development of DV Docs described in this proposal has three goals: (1) develop a method to output personal profile data stored in VIVO as structured, well-formatted documents in rtf or pdf format; (2) provide a generalized, template-based approach for developers to modify the format and/or content of generated documents in order to allow them to create new documents based on the VIVO data model; and (3) provide a basic, standalone Web application to edit and generate full NIH biosketches based on functionality currently implemented in DV. | |
| ORNG (OpenSocial) Gadgets | Cross-platform plugins for VIVO and Profiles RNS, used at several institutions. Apps library includes free apps written by Baylor, UCSF, Knode Inc., etc. More info at http://www.orng.info/ | Eric Meeks at UCSF (eric.meeks at ucsf.edu) |
