3. Current challenges

4. What is VIVO? An open-source 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.

5. VIVO harvests data from verified sources Faculty and unit administrators can then add additional information to their profile. (M) • Internal data sources (I): • HR Directory • Office of Sponsored Research • Institutional Repositories • Registrar System • Faculty Activity Systems • Events and Seminars • Images • External data sources (I): • Publication warehouses- e.g. PubMed, Web of Science, and more. • Grant databases: e.g. NSF/ NIH • National Organizations: AAAS, AMA, etc. Data stored as RDF triples using standard ontology VIVO data is available for reuse by web pages, applications, and other consumers both within and outside the institution.

6. How does VIVO store data? • Information is stored using the Resource Description Framework (RDF) . • Data is structured in the form of “triples” as subject-predicate-object. • Concepts and their relationships use a shared ontology to facilitate the harvesting of data from multiple sources. Plant Pathology IFAS is member of Jane Smith Genetics Institute has affiliations with Journal article author of Book Book chapter Subject Predicate Object

7. Using VIVO data • By storing data in VIVO in RDF and using standard ontologies, the information in VIVO can either be displayed in a human readable web page or delivered directly to other systems as RDF. This allows the open researcher data in VIVO to be harvested, aggregated, and integrated into the Linked Open Data cloud. http://richard.cyganiak.de/2007/10/lod/lod-datasets_2010-09-22_colored.html • VIVO enables authoritative data about researchers to become part of the Linked Data cloud.

8. What does a VIVO profile look like? vivo.wustl.edu

9. A VIVO profile allows one to: Find potential colleagues by research area, authorship, and collaborations. Showcasecredentials, expertise, skills, and professional achievements. Connectwithin focus areas and geographic expertise. Simplifyreporting tasks and Linkdata to external applications – e.g., to generate biosketches or CVs. Publishthe URL or link the profile to other applications. Displayvisualizations of complex research networks and relationships.

10. Who can use VIVO?

11. Visualizations about people

12. Temporal visualizations

13. SciMaps

14. Visualizing scholars and their efforts across platforms

15. Implementation: some considerations • Prepare your plan • scope, • time, • resources, • data • Build your team and execute plan • system administration, • data curation, • policy/governance, • user support, • project management • Post Implementation: transition to operations • Getting the word out

16. Why A Library-based Support Model? Libraries: • Are a trusted, neutral entity • Have a tradition of service and support • Strive to serve all missions of the institution • Are technology centers and have IT and data expertise Library Staff: • Have skills—information organization, instruction, usability, subject expertise • Have close relationships with their clients (buy in) • Understand user needs • Understand the importance of collaboration and know how to bring people together • Have knowledge of institution, research, education, clinical landscape

17. Data, Tools and Scientists

18. Moving forward

19. VIVO Projects Collaborative Research Projects – • These awards offered funding for people outside the VIVO Collaboration to develop tools using VIVO data or code. • Awardees: • VIVO Widgets – Duke University • Digital Vita Documents for VIVO – University of Pittsburgh • VIVO and Open Researcher & Contributor ID – ORCID • UMLS Ontology and VIVO – Stony Brook University • HUBzero and Joomla! VIVO applications – Indiana University • Google Refine and VIVO – Weill Cornell Medical College

20. Possible Collaborations • Land-grant Discovery System • University of Arizona leadership (Barb Hutchinson) through Rangelands Project • USAIN/AgNIC/NAL collaboration? • Coordinated IR deposit and linking? • Links with VIVO? • Single Search? • Motivation for deposit • Challenges of strategic archiving • Interested institutions? • AgNIC Alliance Single Search • Profiles for implementing institutions • AgNIC implementation for non-participating?
