  • Presentation Goals: To provide a general overview of VIVO: semantics, profiles, search. How libraries fit in. Why semantics and how it can create a federated search, browse, and visualizations
  • VIVO is funded by the NIH, specifically the NCRR (National Center for Research Resources).Stimulus money from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA)
  • Cornell – UF – NIH grantInternational – National Science Library, Chinese Academy of Science (3 instances, visiting scholar at CU translating materials) and University of Melbourne in Australia (Research data and records registry).
  • What is VIVO?It’s a semantic web application with rich profiles that display publications, teaching, service and professional affiliations. Faceted search for fast and meaningful results.--------- Foster team science by providing tools for identifying potential collaborators. Improve collaboration by creating tools using this information for enhancing new and existing teams. Not limited to science – at Cornell, VIVO covers all disciplines across the entire institutionTalking points: Profiles are largely created via automated data feeds, but can be customized to suit the needs of the individual. Information is open source (free) and is stored in a framework that allows for exporting to other applications. Profiles are richer in content than typical [web pages or] social networking sites and will rank higher in general internet searches.
  • Who uses VIVO? In addition to the faculty and researchers, it’s also useful to funding agencies, students, and administrators. These users will come from within and outside of the participating institutions.The technology is versatile and flexible making it responsive to innovation and user needsTalking points: VIVO is useful to many different users and audiences. Users will come from within and outside of the participating institutions.The technology is versatile and flexible enough to easily accommodate changes based on new and innovative demands that users make as they utilize VIVO.
  • Simple semantic advantageSemantic web: describes methods and technologies to allow machines to understand the meaning or "semantics” of information on the web. -- W3C director Sir Tim Berners-LeeOntology: a formal representation of the knowledge by a set of concepts within a domain and the relationships between those concepts.-- Wikipedia
  • Faceted search, simple and flexible, based on ontology hierarchy.
  • Part of the solutionLibraries are posed to meet participation challenges due to their role on campus as information resource and technology centers.Librarians are subject matter experts, understand their user’s needs and institution’s research environment. In VIVO-funded institutions, the librarians are the ones negotiating with the owners of local data sources to explain what data we need and why we need it. The library is a stable and natural home for VIVO, but the implementers need to work closely with the institution’s administration and faculty.
  • So what do librarians DO?Identification of content types – ontology ;development and interface refinementWe negotiate with the owners of local data sources to explain what data we need and why we need it.We provide local and national support and training through the development of documentation, presentations and help-desk servicesUsing the vivoweb.org website we liaise with potential collaborators – giving demos and answering questionsCreating a community of supportAnd delivering usability feedback to the technical team.Marketing – through demonstrations, conferences, workshops and the development PR materials designed both to attract new participants and to assist participants with local adoption
  • Authoritative data, diverse formats, filter out private informationCentralizes the information into a pool to draw on (the bucket)Talk about verified dataTalking points: Much of the data in VIVO profiles is ingested from authoritative sources so it is accurate and current, reducing the need for manual input.Private or sensitive information is never imported into VIVO. Only public information will be stored and displayed. Data is housed and maintained at the local institutions. There it can be updated on a regular basis. There are three ways to get data: internal, external, individuals. Internal is authoritative!Examples of internal data – Faculty reporting, course listings, grants, directoryExamples of external sources – PubmedManual – affiliations, geographic locations
  • Since VIVO stores profile information drawn from a variety of sources in a single, flexible format, it can be easily “re-skinned” or “re-purposed” to present specialized views into the institution.For example:Graduate Programs in the Life Sciences - geared toward a specific user – prospective graduate students in the life sciencesCALS Research Portal - Or a filtered view for a specific departmentCALS Impact statements- repurposed in a CMS (Drupal), development onlyFaculty profiles in Classics - have a dept pulling faculty profiles into Common Spot
  • How is this data stored?Talking points: Simple formatBased on triplesShared ontology, giving meaning to names and terminologies
  • Example – Mike Conlon.See URI for Mike - html view (human readable), marbles RDF view (application use), straight-up RDF (machine readable)
  • RDF browser of Mike’s information…. person, thing, etcKeep going, you get more data.Machine and human readableSemantically labeled data, not just text.
  • Feel for the VIVO ontology, Point out examples of relationships or Susan Riha.
  • Individual, institution, network
  • National exemplarsearch, browse, share as RDFvisualization – Katy Borner at Indiana UniversityMapped to the much larger world of the semantic web.Anyone running VIVO will provide this RDF data with a unique namespace. Marked from an institution and considered authoritative data.VIVO enables authoritative data about researchers to join the Linked Data cloud
  • Download, Adopt, and Implement:  VIVO is open source and is available for download. Provide Data:  You can participate by providing machine readable data for research discovery.  Bibliometric and funding data are of great interest to the research community. Develop Applications: Many software applications can benefit from using information that will be provided by the national network. External application development:enhanced search, new collaboration capabilities, grouping, finding and mapping scientists and their work. Anything that will leverage VIVO and the semantic cloud.

  • 3. VIVO history… born in the library
    • Originally developed at Cornell University in 2004 to support Life Sciences
    • 4. Reimplemented using RDF, OWL, Jena and SPARQL in 2007
    • 5. Now covers all faculty, researchers and disciplines at Cornell
    • 6. Implemented at University of Florida in 2007
    • 7. Underlying system in use at Chinese Academy of Sciences and Australian Universities
    In September 2009, seven institutions received $12.2 million in funding from the National Center for Research Resources of the NIH to to enable National Networking with VIVO
  • 8. VIVO is:
    An open-source semantic web application that enables the discovery of research and scholarship across disciplines in an institution.
    Populated with detailed profiles of faculty and researchers; displaying items such as publications, teaching, service, and professional affiliations.
    A powerful search functionality for locating people and information within or across institutions.
  • 9. Who uses VIVO?
    …and many more!
  • 10. VIVO’s semantic advantage
    Everything has its own URI
    All data has standard format
    Data modeled as bidirectional relationships
  • 11. Faceted search, browse, and ontology hierarchy
  • 12. Why Libraries?
    Libraries:
    • Are a trusted, neutral entity
    • 13. Have a tradition of service and support
    • 14. Strive to serve all missions of the institution
    • 15. Are technology centers and have IT and data expertise
    Librarians:
    • Have skills—information organization, instruction, usability, subject expertise
    • 16. Have close relationships with their clients (buy in)
    • 17. Understand user needs
    • 18. Understand the importance of collaboration and know how to bring people together
    • 19. Have knowledge of institution, research, education, clinical landscape
  • Library staff as facilitators
  • 20. Data, data, data
    VIVO harvests much of its data programmatically from verified sources
    • Reduces the need for manual input of data
