Darrell: User adoption is one of his areas of expertise. Be sure to publicize success stories quarterly. Use the existing 50% to help with testimonials, buddy system, rewards so that you're leverage existing users. Continually work with users to make sure that the site is sticky and attractive.

Alvin: We'd like to use to reuse VIVO data on curated web pages. That's an incentive to keep that profile up to date.

Michael B: Would we use SPARQL queries for populating websites?

Alvin: Does this encourage usage?
Mike C: We think so – about 10% of UFL faculty have edited their profiles and we think it's mostly junior faculty. When departments are involved, it helps to promote the message and repeating it in a consistent way. It's important to repeat the message many times – you can't just launch it, you have to live it! The university adminsitrative message is not as strong, typically.
