Version 1.9.0

What's New

Capability Map

To address the desire for improved expert finding features in VIVO, we are pleased to introduce a capability map. This feature allows you to search for research areas, and see the relationship between them and the researchers.

...

Adapted for VIVO 1.9 by: Graham Triggs; DuraSpace.

Maven Project Structure

To make it easier for new developers to get started with VIVO, the custom Ant scripts have been replaced with standard Maven project structures.

...

With this layout, you only need to tell your IDE to load or import the pom.xml in the "VIVO" project, and it will automatically load in all of the other projects, including Vitro, setting up your IDE ready to start work with full autocompletion, etc.

Maven Based Installer

As a result of the move to Maven, there is now an "installer" project, which will assemble the application and home directories, and copy them to your Tomcat and installation / home directories.

...

This installer also provides a natural place for sites to add their customisations: e.g. a custom theme or even additional Java classes in the web application; RDF in the home directory, etc.

OpenJDK Support

The image processor for uploading and generating thumbnails has been replaced with a new library. As a result, there are no known OpenJDK compatibilities.

...

Performance Improvements

Thanks to Brian Lowe, there are significant improvements writing data to the triple store, with an updated inferencer batching changes in memory.

There are also minor improvements to graph comparison code (improve startup time for large graphs), and memory reductions for the caching of data in the visualisations.

SPARQL Editor Highlighting

The YASQE highlighting editor for SPARQL has been incorporated into the SPARQL Query page, thanks to a contribution from Ted Lawless.
