VIVO 1.15 is now available!
What's New in 1.15.0
Search Facets
Extended search ontology has been introduced. This ontology enables configuration of searching. Filters for refining search results can be defined. Search results can be sorted by different criteria, i.e. by relevance or by some field such as date or name. At the end, type of objects (classes) and instances which can be searchable for different roles can be defined. The feature is documented at Using Search.
The improved role management
This feature enhances the flexibility of access control by using attributes to define and evaluate access policies, replacing Java-based policies with configurable N3 files. A new access control ontology has been introduced. This approach enables more control over definition of permissions for roles in VIVO. Technical key updates include modifications to policy datasets, authorization requests, and startup listeners. This release ensures migration from both current VIVO instances and the Advanced Role Management system. For more details, refer to the Authorization.
I forgot my VIVO password
The public option for resetting password which a user can carry out individually without administrator has been implemented. The option is based on sending an email with a secured link for resetting the user password. The feature is documented at Editing Your Account.
Audit tool
A module enabling tracking of changes being made in the triple store has been implemented. Changes made by users and non-person entities are recorded in a triple store, with the users ID (URI), the time, and the changes that have been made. More info about this feature can be found at The VIVO audit module.
Private individual page
Researcher and organization individual pages can be private, i.e. visible only for users with certain permissions (not for anonymous users, i.e. visitors). The feature is documented at Private individual pages.
