Problem: Solution:
VIVO is: A semantic web application that enables the discovery of research and scholarship across disciplines in an institution. Populated with detailed profiles of faculty and researchers; displaying items such as publications, teaching, service, and professional affiliations. A powerful search functionality for locating people and information within or across institutions.
VIVO Origins and Current Status • Originally developed at Cornell University in 2004 to support Life Sciences. • Reimplemented using RDF, OWL, Jena and SPARQL in 2007. • Now covers all faculty, researchers and disciplines at Cornell. • Implemented at University of Florida in 2007. • Underlying system in use at Chinese Academy of Sciences and Australian Universities. In September 2009, seven institutions received $12.2 million in funding from the National Center for Research Resources of the NIH to to enable National Networking with VIVO
Data in VIVO • Stored in Resource Description Framework (RDF) triples. • Uses the shared VIVO Core Ontology to describe people, organizations, activities, publications, events, interests, grants, and other relationships • VIVO Core Ontology extends Friend-of-a-Friend (FOAF) and Bibliographic Ontology (BIBO) • Supports local ontology extensions for institution-specific needs. • Project will develop mappings to other standard ontologies

Challenges in our approach • Granularity levels • Terminologies • Scalability • Disambiguation • Provenance • Temporality Jim Hendler, 1997 or 1998, http://www.cs.rpi.edu/~hendler/LittleSemanticsWeb.html

Librarians as facilitators: Our model • Leverages their technical and organizational skills • Content types, ontology, use case development… • Negotiation with campus data stewards for publicly visible data • Librarians understand the needs of their disciplines • Directly engage with faculty and researchers • Identify critical external data sources and publishers • They provide long-term, institutional support • Engage with potential collaborators, participants • Create a home for VIVO processes and content management
Future versions of VIVO will: GenerateCVs and biosketches for faculty reporting or grant proposals. Incorporate external data sources for publications and affiliations. Display visualizations of complex research networks and relationships. Linkdata to external applications and web pages. Realizethe full potential of the semantic web.
