VIVO Research @ Indiana University

Press

"The goal of the program is national networking of all scientists."
Mike Conlon, University of Florida

"An ontology is similar to a database schema, but is a more embedded structure where you can define all kinds of different relationships and a hierarchy of classification... additional data modeling and connections can be created from inference, so [VIVO] is an attractive element of semantic web technology."
Ying Ding, Indiana University

"We’re bringing organizations, people and their activities, and even their publications into VIVO, which seemed to be somewhat peripheral to scientific research ontologies at first... but this turned out to be the important glue layer that ties together the more academic and research ontologies."
Jon Corson-Rikert, Cornell University
