Will VIVO Scholar replace VIVO?
No, VIVO is not going away. If accepted by the community, VIVO Scholar will join the VIVO Project’s suite of applications for representing scholarship, any of which can be used together or separately. All of these applications will continue to be upgraded and enhanced to meet the diverse needs of the VIVO community:
VIVO represents scholars and their scholarship using the VIVO ontology and Vitro.
Vitro is a general-purpose, semantic web platform that can create web pages using any ontology -- for example, to show items in a collection of artifacts.
The VIVO ontology, with components from related ontologies, represents scholars and scholarship as a collection of RDF triples. The VIVO ontology can be used with any ontology-based software and any triple store.
VIVO Scholar (under development) will display scholarly profiles with data maintained in VIVO and simplify sharing VIVO data with other websites and systems.
