• Fast, both loading pages and retrieving VIVO data in near real-time
• Developer-friendly so it's easy to implement and customize
• Attractive and modern
• Responsive to many devices and accessible for users with disabilities
• Fully supportive of multiple languages

Existing VIVO implementations can:

• add VIVO Scholar to their VIVO project and customize it to their institution OR
• develop their own user interface using the data in the GraphQL endpoint

New VIVO implementations can:

• Install VIVO and VIVO Scholar, using VIVO to edit data and permissions OR
• Install VIVO and develop their own user interface using the GraphQL endpoint

Institutional Benefits of VIVO Scholar

The GraphQL endpoint works like VIVO widgets does for many institutions such as Duke; with GraphQL, developers can quickly and easily feed data to their own websites. 

• At Duke, almost 85% of faculty have department profiles using VIVO data.
• Faculty and staff are very motivated to update their local websites, which updates VIVO.
• Widgets save web developers significant time by re-using data with little development effort.
• VIVO provides an institutional workflow for faculty to update their data in one place. "Update once, use everywhere."
• Using GraphQL, data is updated when VIVO is updated, nearly in real time.

Milestones

These are coming soon! Still TBD.
