Abstract: VIVO is an open source tool based on linked open data concepts for connecting and publishing a wide range of research information within and across institutions. The goal of this workshop is to introduce new community members to the VIVO project and software. The workshop will consist of three sections: 1. A summary of VIVO’s history and what it does, 2. How it works, and 3. Where the project is heading. Part 1 will include a background of the VIVO project, how institutions and organizations are currently using it, how institutional stakeholders are involved, what benefits it offers to researchers, to institutions, and to the global community. Part 2 will include a high level discussion about how VIVO works and introduce the concepts of Resource Description Framework, Ontology, Vitro, Triple Pattern Fragments, how VIVO is managed, and how to feed downstream systems. Finally, part 3 will introduce you to next-gen VIVO initiatives such as, decoupling of the architecture, the next version of the ontology, the VIVO Scholar, VIVO Combine, the internationalization efforts, and the VIVO Search. You’ll learn how to find the right resources as a new VIVO implementer including data sources, team members, governance models, and support structures. This workshop brings best practices and “lessons learned” from mature VIVO projects to new implementations. We’ll help you craft your messages to different stakeholders, so you’ll leave this workshop knowing how to talk about VIVO to everyone from your provost to faculty members to web developers.
