A need for better networking
• Fostering collaboration and synergy through greater awareness
• Identifying missing expertise
• Facilitating team formation
• Reducing duplication of research
Who are we talking about?
• Agricultural researchers
• Agricultural practitioners
• Agricultural information managers
People already part of a community
• FAO
• GFAR
• IICA
• E-Agriculture
• CIARD
• AIMS
• FARA
• IAALD
• Forago
• CIRAD
• CGIAR
• CTA
• GFAR
• And many more
Networking needs
• potential best collaborators all over the world for a project
• a person with an answer to his/her question
• an organization running a project on a specific area of research
• publications written by a potential collaborator
• numbers or geographic distribution of available competencies or ongoing projects
How easy is it today for someone to identify /
discover...
How it’s done now
Personal connections Institutional HR database and online directories
Conferences Knowledge networks
How to do it more efficiently
1. Go beyond serendipity
• Gather information systematically
• Focus on sources providing data by discipline, organization, or topic
• Leverage existing, meaningful relationships
How to do it more efficiently
2. Go beyond isolated communities
• Search several directories / communities
• Share people profiles, affiliations, expertice across communities

Now Better networking
What is VIVO
VIVO is semantic publishing platform for
making data about research activities
visible and accessible.
History of VIVO
• 2003 – VIVO Cornell “Research & Expertise Across Cornell”
• 2009 – VIVO Network “Enabling national networking of scientists” $12.2 million, two-year grant from NIH
• 2010 – VIVO at USDA First federal organization to commit to using VIVO. Five USDA agencies to participate initially.

• AgriVIVO will not replace any existing community or database, it will work as a common registry to interlink the data managed in the existing communities.
• Communities and databases will indirectly share data through AgriVIVO
