  • 11. Outreach and Technology Researcher Networking
  • 12. Researcher NetworkingWhat is it?Ideal role for libraries Information organization, instruction, usability, subject expertise, ontologies and controlled vocabularies Have a tradition of service and support Strive to serve all missions of the institution Have close, trusted relationships with our clients Understand user needs Understand the importance of collaboration and know how to bring people together Have knowledge of institution, research, education, technology, and clinical landscapes RN Adoption and Outreach, VIVO SF wiki
  • 13. Researcher Networking and theSemantic Web Increasing recognition of the value of semantic web standards Increasing momentum in support of semantic web technologies to facilitate research discovery Recommendations for researcher networking recently endorsed by the CTSA Consortium Steering Committee represent a new standard in researcher networking. Read more at http://vivoweb.org/blog Examples of applications that consume these rich data include: visualizations, enhanced multi-site search, and VIVO Searchlight. Other utilities are in development across a wide range of topic areas.
  • 14. VIVO Enables collaboration anddiscovery across an institution and among institutionsAn open-source semantic web applicationthat enables the discovery of research andscholarship across disciplines in aninstitution. VIVO harvests data from verified sources & offers detailed profiles of faculty and researchers; displaying items such as publications, teaching, service, and professional affiliations.A powerful search functionality forlocating people and information within oracross institutions. Public, structured linked data about investigators interests, activities and accomplishments, and tools to use that data to advance science
  • 15. Collaboration & Discovery Across institutions, VIVO provides a uniform semantic structure to enable a new class of tools using the data to advance science.
  • 16. Community-Wide Semantic Search

  • 18. Not just for individual scientists! Libraries, departments Ontology, extensions Impact Centers of excellence Memberships Beyond ICTS IRCs Bedside Core Research Facilities Funding agencies Bench Administrators Community Partners WU-ICTS community partners Highlight efforts
  • 19. The library is a conduit to information, collaboration, and discoveryand tools like VIVO can help make this work easier for everyone.(so we can all spend our time on more interesting endeavors!)
