VIVO basics
VIVO• Research Networking System (RNS)
• An open, shared platform for connecting scholars, research communities, campuses, and the world using Linked Open Data (LOD)
• Supports recording, editing, searching, browsing & visualizing scholarly activity
Key VIVO principles
• Open software: vivoweb.org
• Open data: RDF & Linked Open Data
• Open ontology: VIVO-ISF
• Open community: VIVO at Duraspace.org
• Local control

Lessons learned
Lessons Learned• Administrative support• Critical for project launch• Office of the COO & the Dean of Faculty
• Financial support
• Unexpected costs arise
• Team participation in early stages was limited by already-approved library budget
Lessons Learned• Technical support• NIH grant: >100 people across seven
institutions• resources to supplement in-house expertise
• Access to software development resources proven critical to project’s success• identification of qualified contract programmers
became a priority
Additional considerations
Accessibility Issues• Only library staff can log in to edit VIVO• Editing forms need further refinement to be
usable by the wider academic community• not a high priority at this time
• Most data in standard text format• Raw visualization data available for use in
other environments
Evaluation• Currently no formalized evaluation process
• Have been responsive to faculty needs• supporting NIH grant application process• institution relies on NIH grant support for
approximately three-quarters of our operating budget
Integration with Other Library Websites
• Integration of VIVO into faculty biographical sketches on the main institution website • explored with (former) director of IT services• not yet implemented
• Data curated for VIVO allows library staff to be responsive to requests from administration• demonstrate faculty collaboration
