As of version 1.6, the VIVO ontology will significantly broaden to encompass research resources (the domain of eagle-i) and clinical expertise through the work of the CTSAconnect project.
Open Community.
VIVO started at Cornell University in 2003 but by 2008 had begun to gain adoption at other U.S. universities, in Australia, and in China. With the award of a major National Institutes of Health grant in 2009, a consortium of 7 universities and medical schools became an official consortium that quickly expanded further through the three years of NIH support. Those adopting VIVO quickly realized the value of sharing knowledge, experience, and tools and the first VIVO conference was held in August, 2010 in New York City. Open implementation, development, ontology, and outreach calls further engaged new users, as did the 3 annual implementation fests held at Washington University and the University of Colorado.
VIVO has now partnered with DuraSpace to chart a path forward as an open, self-sustaining community with working groups, a management team, executive committee, and sponsors committee. Working groups will continue the strong community-driven efforts on ontology, implementation, core development, and engagement with a new group focusing on apps and tools complementing VIVO.
