VIVO overview for a hands-on workshop or self-tour
VIVO is an open source, semantic-web tool for research discovery -- finding people and the research they do.
VIVO supports searching, browsing and visualizing research activity in order to discover people, programs, facilities, funding, scholarly works, and events. VIVO's search returns results faceted by type for rapid retrieval of desired information across disciplines at one institution or, through a prototype at vivosearch.org, across multiple distributed institutions.
Goals of this Tour
- 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
