VIVO is an open source semantic web application originally developed and implemented at Cornell. When installed and populated with researcher interests, activities, and accomplishments, it enables the discovery of research and scholarship across disciplines at that institution and beyond.
VIVO supports browsing and a search function which returns faceted results for rapid retrieval of desired information. Content in any local VIVO installation may be maintained manually, brought into VIVO in automated ways from local systems of record (such as HR, grants, course, and faculty activity databases), or from database providers (such as publication aggregators and funding agencies).

There are several ways to contact the VIVO community. Use our contact form, send e-mail to the mailing lists, or join the chat room. Whatever your preference, we will be pleased to hear from you.
The best place to get your hands dirty in the VIVO Project. Developers and Implementers frequent this listserv to get the latest on feature design, development planning, and testing.
The VIVO ontology serves as the data model for the VIVO application as well as an independent ontology for representing researchers in the context of their experience, outputs, interests, accomplishments, and associated institutions. This list is a place where you can
- raise modeling requirements,
- share your domain expertise to improve or extend the ontology,
- discuss the technical details of the design of the VIVO OWL ontology,
- share general ontology topics and news.
Implementing VIVO for the first time? Upgrading to the latest version? This list brings implementers together to help identify and solve questions ranging from installation to best practices.
For instant access to VIVO developers visit the VIVO IRC Channel. VIVO is still a small project so this channel is frequented by developers and end users alike. All are welcome.
