VIVO, and Vitro, its underlying technology, are open and flexible. There is significant opportunity to extend VIVO and/or Vitro to accommodate the needs of your institution. No extensions are needed – VIVO contains a comprehensive information representation for scholarship. Vitro provides a general purpose platform for semantic data management.
Some of the topics in this section are very common – most sites want to localize their branding, many sites use external authentication, and many sites use VIVO in languages other than english. Other topics are more advanced and less common – creating custom editing forms, for example.
Take what you need and leave the rest.
