VIVO is a web-based, open-source suite of computer software for managing data about researchers, scientists, and faculty members. VIVO uses Semantic Web techniques to represent people and their work. As of 2020, it is used by dozens of universities and the United States Department of Agriculture.[1]

History

The

The Scripps Research Institute, Washington University in St. Louis, and Weill Cornell Medical College to expand the tool for use outside of Cornell.[3]

Data ingest

VIVO can harvest publication data from

OAI-PMH harvest. It then uses a semi-automated process to match publications to researchers.[4] It also harvests information about researchers from Human Resources systems and student information systems.[5]

Ontology

The VIVO ontology incorporates elements of several established ontologies, including

FOAF, and SKOS. The ontology can be used to describe several roles of faculty members, including research, teaching, and service.[6]

The Dutch Data Archiving and Networked Services and Indiana University worked to develop the ontology to enable bilingual modeling of researchers.[7]
