On June 17 2020, the task force released VIVO Scholar 0.9.0-beta and Scholars Discovery 1.0.0-RC1. 

VIVO Scholar is a new, optional user interface for VIVO. Scholars Discovery is the multi-purpose middleware component that provides data for

Info

This page is still under construction and the VIVO Scholar Task Force is still being formed.

The VIVO Scholar Task Force will be creating a new user interface for VIVO, called VIVO Scholar. VIVO Scholar will work with VIVO implementations at version 1.10 and above. The VIVO Scholar Task Force will begin on April 15, 2019.

The VIVO Scholar Task Force will address one of the goals in the Product Direction for 2019, "Modernize the Presentation Layer," which is a priority for many existing and prospective VIVO implementers. VIVO Scholar will build on the work of the Product Evolution Task Force, employing many of the ideas and technologies explored by that group. VIVO Scholar is also informed by the work of participants in the Architectural Fly-in Meeting held in January 2019.

Task Force Objectives

  • The VIVO Scholar Task Force will consist of members from three or more institutions, but the majority will come from Duke University.
    • Most of the members will have been involved with the Product Evolution Task Force in some way. 
    • We aim to keep the development team small, with 8 members or fewer if possible, and will include developers with applicable skills.
    • Some developers may contribute for specific tasks or for specific sprints.
  • The task force will operate with continuous, two-week sprints. Work will be deliverable-based rather than exploratory.
  • Weekly meetings will be closed to keep discussions focused.
  • We intend to streamline development processes and meetings as much as we can.
  • We'll create milestones with deliverables that we can share with the community and get feedback.

This is all preliminary and subject to change . .

Deliverables

VIVO Scholar will consist of three components:

  • An ElasticSearch index which will contain all data from VIVO
  • A GraphQL endpoint to provide an easy, developer-friendly mechanism for obtaining VIVO data
  • The VIVO Scholar site, a read-only user interface that displays public profiles, provides a faceted search, and enables users to browse VIVO data

VIVO Scholar is being designed to be:

  • Fast, both loading pages and retrieving VIVO data in near real-time
  • Developer-friendly so it's easy to implement and customize
  • Attractive and modern
  • Responsive to many devices and accessible for users with disabilities
  • Fully supportive of multiple languages

Milestones

These are coming soon! Still TBD.
