VIVO supports the concept of an Institutional Internal Class, a class that you can create and assign to your people, and other entities, to indicate that they are part of your institution. Using an Institutional Internal Class, you can limit VIVO's displays of entities to those in your institution.

Creating an Institutional Internal Class

Create a new local ontology  - You can do this through the GUI if you want. if you do not already have one.  If you have one, add a class to your existing local ontology.

Go to:

      - Site Admin > Ontology list > Add new ontology

      - Ontology name: Whatever you want; Namespace: something like http://vivo.youruniversity.edu/ontology/vlocal#
