4. VIVO is
• Ontologies — The VIVO Integrated Semantic Framework
and related ontologies for representing scholars and
scholarship
• Software — open source, community-developed software
for managing, displaying, sharing the scholarly record
• Data — assertions about scholars and their scholarly works.
At UF, 23M assertions for 63K people, 62K papers, 24K
grants, 87K courses taught.
• Community — 130+ sites in 24 countries, 200K scholars,
1M+ works. See http://vivoweb.org, Twitter: @VIVOCollab
VIVO creates an integrated record of the
scholarly work of your organization

5. History of VIVO
• 2003 Original concept and software for VIVO created
at Cornell by John Corson-Rikert
• 2006 VIVO redesigned at Cornell as a semantic web
application with ontology and triple store
• 2007 VIVO implemented at University of Florida
• 2009-2012 NIH award to University of Florida, Cornell,
Weill, Indiana, Wash U, Ponce, Scripps. M. Conlon
Principal Investigator
• 2010 First VIVO Conference, NY Hall of Science
• 2012-present VIVO, a member supported project of
Duraspace

6. VIVO and Research
• VIVO captures a complete record for each
scholar – teaching, research, and service,
sufficient for CV or biosketch
• Includes grey literature and activities that do
not typically create records in the scholarly
ecosystem
• VIVO links data together, removing ambiguity
from the scholarly record

7. VIVO Integrates Institutional Data

10. SHARE is
• Higher education initiative to maximize research impact by
making an inventory of research widely accessible,
discoverable, and reusable.
• Free, open data set of research and scholarly activities
harvested from 97+ data providers
• Notification service of >4.5 million research events of data
mgmt plans, preprints, articles, repository deposits, and other
scholarly activity
• Harvester of diverse set of data providers: funders,
publishers, data repositories, institutional repositories,
scholarly activity
• Joint working group of international members such as funders
publishers, government orgs, universities, vendors

11. History of SHARE
• Feb 2013: White House release OSTP memo on access to
federally funded research
• Jun 2013: The Association of Research Libraries (ARL), the
Association of American Universities (AAU), and the Association
of Public and Land-grant Universities (APLU) jointly launched the
SHARE initiative.
• Mar 2014: ARL awarded joint $1 million grant from the Institute
of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) and the Alfred P. Sloan
Foundation to develop and launch SHARE Notify
• Jun 2014: The Center for Open Science (COS) joined as SHARE’s
technical partner

12. History of SHARE
• Apr 2015: SHARE launches beta of SHARE Notify
• Jun 2015: SHARE collected metadata on more than 1 million
research release events
• Oct 2015: ARL awarded joint $1.2 million grant from IMLS
and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation for Phase II of SHARE to
expand and enhance SHARE’s open data set
• Feb 2016: SHARE currently at 97 providers and +4.5 million
research release events

16. SHARE and Research
• Capturing global events across diverse set of
sources and researcher activities (not just
repository data)
• By collecting, connecting, and enhancing
metadata that describes research activities
and outputs...SHARE simplifies how various
pieces can be identified as elements of a
research project.
• An index within a larger network of research
systems

19. Complementary Nature
SHARE
• Gathering metadata from
many sources
• Able to look across many
sources
• Able to assemble
ecosystem-level views
• Consumes from repositories
and other systems
• Shares with local and global
sources
VIVO
• Curating metadata about an
organization
• Identifying scholars, works
• Deep metadata model for
teaching, research, service
• Focus on scholar and the
scholar’s work
• Able to share details not
otherwise expressed in the
ecosystem
• VIVO shares globally

20. SHARE and VIVO working together
• SHARE Harvester for VIVO
• SHARE2VIVO
• SHARE Link – Fedora, VIVO and SHARE

21. SHARE Harvester for VIVO
• Supports harvesting data from individual VIVO sites to
the SHARE repository for use by SHARE Notify and SHARE
search
• VIVO site contacts SHARE and makes VIVO API
credentials available
• SHARE regularly harvests data from the VIVO site
• SHARE users benefit from access to VIVO’s detailed data
regarding the scholarship at the VIVO site
• A VIVO site can offer data to SHARE by supplying a URL
and access credentials for the VIVO API

22. SHARE2VIVO
• An open source utility for providing data from
SHARE to a VIVO site
• The VIVO site issues a query to SHARE for
metadata regarding the scholarship of people
at their organization
• SHARE2VIVO can then populate VIVO with the
returned metadata
• VIVO sites benefit from the extensive records
available from SHARE

23. SHARE Link - Early Planning
• Institutional endpoint for SHARE leveraging strengths of
– Fedora: Intellectual work focused linked data platform
– VIVO: Person focused scholarly activity linked data
– SHARE: index of global research lifecycle events
• Unified graph of repository items, researchers, events
• When viewing repository item or researcher,
recommend and browse related items/activity from
similar discipline, venue (e.g. journal, event), scholar
• Combined researcher/dept views with SHARE events
and repository items
• Expand repository search results to 2nd and 3rd level
items
• Discussing opportunities with LD4L team

24. Issues in the Ecosystem
• Scholars are not uniquely identified
– Disambiguation – works may only record scholar's
name
– ORCiD is growing, but not pervasive
• Works may not be uniquely identified
– Mostly DOI, but not for all works
• Organizations may not be uniquely identified
– Identified by name with variations
– Publications may not associate individuals with
organizations
– GRID (http://grid.ac) a potential new approach

25. Issues in the Ecosystem
• Data in SHARE coming from wide variety of
sources has some divergence in metadata unique
identifiers and fields populated
• Curation Toolkit work starting to get institutions
directly involved to enhance metadata in SHARE
(currently need to manually dedup some records)
