- The Brazilian Scientific Research Information Ecosystem and the developments over and around the VIVO Software
- Speaker: Washington Luís R. de Carvalho Segundo
- Abstract: In this presentation we will show the Brazilian Scientific Research Information Ecosystem. This consists of the following elements: 1) a search interface built on the React javascript framework, on Elasticsearch indexes; 2) Dashboards built on the same Elasticsearch indexes; 3) An instance of the VIVO software, where we have added some visualizations using the D3.js javascript library. It should be added that all the information aggregated and exported to the Elasticsearch indexes and to the VIVO instance is pre-processed and loaded onto a platform built in the JAVA language, which was developed within the framework of the LA Referencia Network
Notes
Dragan introduced Washington and gave him the floor.
Washington explained the architecture by using documentation available at https://brcris.ibict.br/about. He also explained the fetching of the data from numerous sources. After that, the speaker demonstrated the platform including some visualizations which are extensions of the standard VIVO platform. Those visualizations include word clouds, advising networks, subject fields, etc.
After the presentation, Dragan asked about support for full-text searching of pdf files associated with publications’ metadata records and about the popularity of persistent identifiers in the Brazilian academic community (ORCID and others). David (University of Toulon) asked about data flow in the application.
Implementations of some of the features discussed after the presentation are already in the progress.
