VIVO: Research and Scholarship Discovery System

VIVO logo

VIVO is an open-source, semantic web application that enables the discovery of research and scholarship across disciplines at an institution. VIVO is populated with detailed profiles of faculty and researchers, displaying items such as publications, teaching, service, and professional affiliations. VIVO brings together publicly available information on the people, departments, graduate fields, facilities, and other resources that collectively make up the research and schol- arship environment at an institution. The data can then be disseminated to applications and external websites which utilize semantic web-compliant data.

Two institutions in Puerto Rico are implementing the VIVO system. Both are members of the PRCTRC.

Its contents are solely the responsibility of the authors and do not necessarily represent the official views of NIMHD or NIH.

Consortium Institutions

The Puerto Rico Clinical and Translational Research Consortium is a collaborative project of the the University of Puerto Rico Medical Sciences Campus, Universidad Central del Caribe and Ponce School of Medicine and Health Sciences.
