- 5. iClicker Question 1 Had you heard of VIVO before the conference? A. Yes B. No
- 6. VIVO is: 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. An open-source semantic web application that enables the discovery of research and scholarship across disciplines in an institution.

- 8. Semantic web: describes methods and technologies to allow machines to understand the meaning or "semantics” of information on the web. -- W3C director Sir Tim Berners-Lee Ontology: a formal representation of the knowledge by a set of concepts within a domain and the relationships between those concepts. -- Wikipedia

Discussion/questions
Notas del editor
- 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 grant International – 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). 3 releases, a successful conference in Queens, and have garnished the interest of many universities, USDA, Star Metrics, CTSAs, SUNY and FL state schools
- 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 institution Talking 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.
- Semantic/ontology definitions (below RDF), Elly in RDF example for visual, point out links.
- Simple semantic advantage Semantic web: describes methods and technologies to allow machines to understand the meaning or "semantics” of information on the web. -- W3C director Sir Tim Berners-Lee Ontology: a formal representation of the knowledge by a set of concepts within a domain and the relationships between those concepts. -- Wikipedia
- 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 needs Talking 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.
- Faceted search, simple and flexible, based on ontology hierarchy.
- Authoritative data, diverse formats, filter out private information Centralizes the information into a pool to draw on (the bucket) Talk about verified data Talking 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, directory Examples of external sources – Pubmed Manual – 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 sciences CALS Research Portal - Or a filtered view for a specific department CALS Impact statements- repurposed in a CMS (Drupal), development only Faculty profiles in Classics - have a dept pulling faculty profiles into Common Spot
- How is this data stored? Talking points: Simple format Based on triples Shared 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, etc Keep going, you get more data. Machine and human readable Semantically labeled data, not just text.
- Feel for the VIVO ontology, Point out examples of relationships or Susan Riha.
- Individual, institution, network
- National exemplar search, browse, share as RDF visualization – Katy Borner at Indiana University Mapped 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
- Part of the solution Libraries 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 refinement We 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 services Using the vivoweb.org website we liaise with potential collaborators – giving demos and answering questions Creating a community of support And 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
- Notes to self: Need to create a diagram like in the Mental Models book and pull more features out . Mental Models: Aligning Design Strategy with Human Behavior, Indi Young, Rosenfeld Media, Brooklyn, NY 2008
- Weighted by frequency of keyword and priority
- Development guided by user analysis and feature list from scenarios.
- 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.
