VIVO is a semantic web application with data on researchers and research publications in the life sciences. The service uses open-source software originally developed and implemented at Cornell University. Data includes information on researcher interests, activities, and accomplishments. VIVO provides automated and self-updating processes for improving data quality and authenticity, and the data can be re-used by other systems. This webinar will include discussion on the practicalities of building a Semantic-Web search service using existing data at large, diverse institutions and will highlight services that leverage data in innovative ways.
