Notes

  1. Many identifiers are configured by default to not be publicly displayed.  To change the display level of an identifier, go to Site Admin > Property Groups, select the identifier in the identity section and then click Edit Property Record.  Alternatively, make the change in initialTBoxAnnotations.n3.

  2. sameAs can be configured as supported or unsupported in VIVO.  See VIVO v1.6 release planning#sameAs
  3. ORCID can be configured for integration with the ORCID.  See Activating the ORCID integration
    1. To add ORCID identifiers using RDF, assert the triple associating the personURI with orcidURI: <personURI> <vivo:orcidId> <orcidURI>, where orcidURI looks like http://orcid.org/xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx
    2. Add a second triple to assert that the orcidURI is a thing:  <orcidURI> a owl:Thing .
    3. When these two triples are added for a person, the VIVO interface will report the ORCID as unconfirmed.
    4. The user can  logon to VIVO, select "Confirm the ID" and enter their ORCID password.  The ORCID iD will then be confirmed in VIVO.
    5. Or you can confirm the ORCID by adding another triple to VIVO: <orcidURI> vivo:confirmedOrcidId <personURI>
  4. For a SCOPUS ID, VIVO provides a link to SCOPUS at http://www.scopus.com/authid/detail.url?authorId=nnnnnnnn
