VIVO is an open source semantic web project built on the Jena semantic web framework, and is an application to facilitate the discovery of researchers and collaborators across the country and internationally.
VIVO supports editing, searching, browsing and visualizing research activity in order to discover people, programs, facilities, funding, scholarly works and events. VIVO’s search returns results faceted by type for rapid retrieval of desired information across disciplines at one institution or, through a prototype at vivosearch.org, across multiple distributed institutions.
VIVO enables high quality data to be revealed about researchers, their collaborators, their funding sources, and more, o ering elegant visualizations of the research enterprise on the individual, local, and global levels.
