Similar to how VIVO adds VIVO ontology-specific customizations for information display and entry, VitroLib adds customizations for the display and addition of BIBFRAME and related ontology information. Being ontology-agnostic, Vitro can support the display and editing of BIBFRAME data, but we opted to explore more usable design that could support catalogers in their workflow than that provided by Vitro which is better suited for an audience that has greater familiarity with ontology editing tools. Furthermore, we refactored code responsible for integrating vocabulary lookups from VIVO into the Vitro layer and wrote implementations for looking up Questioning Authority sources. We also explored how to enable more client-side configuration of property-specific customizations. The work we did to translate and integrate SHACL is defined (here).

Lynette Rayle and Dave Eichmann have worked on creating an infrastructure and code for enabling a configurable approach to integrating “Questioning Authority” or QA lookups. Lynette has worked on creating configurable linked data lookups using the QA Ruby on Rails gem. We refactored the VIVO lookup code to provide JAVA interfaces in the Vitro layer that could then be implemented in VitroLib to enable lookups to be available to the VitroLib interface. We added QA implementations for Library of Congress Name Authority File, Library of Congress Subject Headings, and the Library of Congress Genre Form Terms QA lookups that were made available on a server setup for this grant. We also incorporated some contextual information made possible by Lynette’s implementation to enable more information to be displayed to the user.
