VIVO is supported by NIH award U24 RR The UF CTSI is supported in part by NIH awards UL1 RR029890, KL2 RR and TL1 RR The UF CTSI VIVO: Data, Tools and Community for Research Discovery and Scholarship Mike Conlon, CTSI, University of Florida, and the VIVO Collaboration More than 500 clinical and translational investigators at UF participated with the UF CTSI in 2010, producing more than 900 publications and 265 grant awards totaling $63.8 million.

Get Involved Concept heat map displays works for selected groups in relationship to concept map of science Get Involved VIVO stores data as “triples” of the form subject-predicate- object. For example: “Smith” “authorOf” “Paper”. Each element of a triple can be a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). The VIVO ontology describes the predicates and relations of predicates to classes of subjects and predicates. Through URIs, VIVO can link any element in its triple store to any other element on the semantic web. Cross-site searches with full semantic inference can be performed. Sites that will produce VIVO data include: CTSA Consortium (60 sites), Harvard Profiles (30 sites), SciVal experts (20 sites), HubZero (4 sites), Loki. Sites adopting VIVO include: American Psychological Association (154,000 members) USDA (120,000 staff, 50 land grant universities), eight Australian research universities, National Science Library of China, 50 sites in the US, sites in Puerto Rico, UK, Mexico, Costa Rica, India. Wellspring provides VIVO profiles. Federal Researcher Profile System, Community of Science, Thomson- Reuters, ORCID, Elsevier exchange with VIVO. What is VIVO? VIVO is a new tool for research discovery, providing answers to questions such as “who does work in my area?”, “what grants are in place at UF regarding a particular topic?” and “what papers relate to a specific concept?” VIVO provides search capabilities, faculty and department profiles, visualizations of co-author and co-funding networks and additional tools and data for discovery. VIVO provides new opportunities for discovery of work at UF and other VIVO sites. Tools provide analytics, expert finding, network, trend, spatial and concept visualization. Linked Open Data Tools for Discovery Growing Community VIVO assembles information regarding publications, grants, courses taught and university activities and positions into profiles. VIVO harvests data from university sources as well as from publishers. VIVO provides data via the semantic web using an ontology for information representation and a standard (RDF) for data formatting. VIVO enables a new class of tools and data sharing, benefiting investigators and science. Users can edit their profiles by signing on to VIVO with their Gatorlink. DSR data is updated nightly. Data is available in both human and machine formats. vivo.ufl.edu Some Data Partners vivoweb.org vivo.sourceforge.net VIVO 3, Miami, VIVO search (vivosearch.org) finds people, papers, grants, across VIVO sites Collaboration explorer depicts co-authored papers across selected schools Co-author network diagram in VIVO shows patterns of collaboration.
