TL;DR: TIB-FIS-Discovery represents a use-case of a VIVO implementation for a German research institute with customizations to help self-editors maintain and display their research output.

Abstract: In 2017 the TIB presented a prototype of a publicly available institutional VIVO at the CeBIT computer fair. In the meantime, numerous enhancements and customisations have been made to adapt the system to the needs of the institution. The measures include some changes to the software architecture, such as the improved password encryption already demonstrated in 2018. However, a number of improvements have also been made to the workflows and user interface. In this presentation we would like to introduce the TIB VIVO, called TIB-FIS-Discovery, including the interface based on the Tenderfoot theme, the import and claiming mechanisms adapted from OpenVIVO for publications via Pubmed-ID and DOI as well as the improvements made so far with regard to the internationalization of VIVO. Finally, we would like to point out the desiderata we consider necessary for the success of VIVO in the TIB of comparable institutions. This includes improved multiple language support including a multilingual editor for logged-in VIVO users, simplified workflows for data integration from heterogeneous data sources, and associated generic mechanisms for claiming entities.
