Property nameProperty nameDefault valueDefault valueExample valueExample value
Vitro.defaultNamespaceNONEhttp://vivo.mydomain.edu/individual/

The default RDF namespace for this installation.

VIVO installations make their RDF resources available for harvest using linked data. Requests for RDF resource URIs redirect to HTML or RDF representations as specified by the client. To make this possible, VIVO's default namespace must have a certain structure and begin with the public web address of the VIVO installation. For example, if the web address of a VIVO installation is "http://vivo.example.edu/" the default namespace must be set to "http://vivo.example.edu/individual/" in order to support linked data. Similarly, if VIVO is installed at "http://www.example.edu/vivo" the default namespace must be set to "http://www.example.edu/vivo/individual/"

* The namespace must end with "individual/" (including the trailing slash).
