1 An ecosystem of contributions
Connecting all the things that relate to disease research An ecosystem of contributions Image by Julie McMurry 2012 => we need to uniquely reference these entities and their connections

2 What is VIVO? An open source semantic web application
An information model An open community

3 A VIVO profile allows you to:
Discover potential colleagues or campus resources by work area, authorship, & collaborations. Showcase credentials, expertise, skills, and professional achievements for individuals and campus groups. Connect within focus areas and geographic expertise. Simplify reporting tasks and link data to external applications – e.g., to generate biosketches or CV or for reporting purposes. 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. Publish the URL or link the profile to other applications. Display visualizations of expertise areas or complex collaboration networks and relationships.

4 There are many beautiful visualizations, developed by Katy Borner’s group at Indiana University.
These include co-author and co-investigator networks and even temporal visualizations which allows discovery of grants and publications by defined groups over time within and beyond an institution. Most recently, the visualization team implemented a Science Map visualization, which allows users to visually explore the scientific strengths of a university, school, department, or person in the VIVO instance. Users will be able to see where an organization or person’s interests lay across 13 major scientific disciplines or 554 sub-disciplines, and will be able to see how these disciplines and sub-disciplines interrelate with one another on the map of science.

5 Integration with numerous data sources and platforms
PLATFORM: VIVO DATA: a variety of sources REACH NC – Scopus data Symplectic Elements Symplectic

6 VIVO projects around the world

7 eagle-i Research Resources
Reagents, protocols, services, instruments, organisms, training opportunities, software, human study metadata, biological specimens, etc. ~100,000 boutiques hand curated research resources

8 Common problems & The eagle-i approach
eagle-i Solution Need a way to publish resource information Open Information Publishing Platform allows institutions complete autonomy over their resource data supports multiple publishing formats Ontology Driven Platform Drives consistency of description Allows easy updating of information to accommodate dynamic information No common way to describe resources Both offer options for federated data and LOD Need a way to search all published resources Federated Search Network Allows annotated information to be easily read and re-used by other websites and applications

9 www.eagle-i.net 35 Universities and growing!
Currently there are 40 academic and not-for-profit organizations that are part of the eagle-I network. It started with an initial 9 institutions and continues to grow each year.

10 Merging VIVO and eagle-i semantic infrastructure
People eagle-i Resources eagle-i is an ontology-driven application for collecting and searching research resources. VIVO is an ontology-driven application for collecting and displaying information about people.

11 Merging VIVO and eagle-i semantic infrastructure
Integrated Framework Clinical activities eagle-i eagle-i is an ontology-driven application for collecting and searching research resources. VIVO is an ontology-driven application for collecting and displaying information about people. VIVO-ISF (CTSAconnect project) produced a single Integrated Semantic Framework, a modular collection of ontologies
