Ontologists Unite! The Ontology Improvement Task Force is looking for you. The task force will create methods for improving the VIVO ontology. As some of you may know, the VIVO ontology is a subset of VIVO-ISF, the VIVO Integrated Semantic framework. No changes have been made for several years. But there are reasons to improve the ontologies used by VIVO (what are they?) and there needs to be a way to update the ontology (what might that be?) If you are interested in change management in the context of open source communities, this is the task force for you. The next call of the task force will be Monday, March 13 at 11 AM US Daylight time (US clocks "spring forward for daylight savings time the day before the call). Here's the webex link. All are welcome!

Do you have a VIVO site? Is your site in the VIVO Site registry? If not, please add your site. It is very important to the VIVO Project to help our sites across the world and to share information with our sites. If your site is already listed, that's great! If not, please follow the directions on the page to add your site. If your site is listed, but the listing needs to be updated, please update your listing using the instructions on the page. Oh, one more thing. If you know of a VIVO site or site(s) that are not listed in the registry, please let us know so we can contact them and have them added. Thanks to all for your help maintaining the VIVO Site Registry!
Go VIVO!
