VIVO Documentation
Old Release
This documentation relates to an old version of VIVO, version 1.9.x. Looking for another version? See all documentation.
VIVO supports the concept of an Institutional Internal Class, a class that you can create and assign to your people, and other entities, to indicate that they are part of your institution. Using an Institutional Internal Class, you can limit VIVO's displays of entities to those in your institution.
Creating an Institutional Internal Class
Create a new local ontology if you do not already have one. If you have one, add a class to your existing local ontology.
Go to:
Site Admin > Ontology list > Add new ontology
Ontology name: Whatever you want; Namespace: something like http://vivo.youruniversity.edu/ontology/vlocal#
- Namespace prefix: vlocal
Add a new class
- ‘Hierachy of Classes Defined in This Namespace’ > Add New Class
- Fields can be whatever you want, except make sure to pick your new local ontology from the dropdown for ‘Ontology’
Assigning an Institutional Internal Class
Assert that your employees are a member of the new class
- Either upload RDF with triples like Mike showed, or go to that person in the UI, ‘Edit this individual’, and ‘Add Type'
Using an Institutional Internal Class
Define institutional internal class
- Site Admin > Institutional internal class
- Select your new class from dropdown
Go to Page Management > ‘People’ > Click the plus sign to expand the ‘Browse Class Group’ box > Check ‘Only display people within my institution.
