VIVO Documentation
Old Release
This documentation relates to an old version of VIVO, version 1.9.x. Looking for another version? See all documentation.
General Method
To remove entities from VIVO, run SPARQL queries to retrieve the triples for the entities as RDF. Then go to Site Administration -> Advanced Data Tools -> Add or Remove RDF Data to upload the RDF to remove the triples for the entities.
Entities that are involved in relationships will need more attention. The relationship involving the entity should also be removed.
