The VIVO Scholar demo is live at http://vivo-scholars-scholars.cloud.duke.edu. The site is public and live but development is ongoing. We'll deploy new features at the end of every three-week sprint.
Get in touch on the #vivo-scholar Slack channel.
November 2019
11/26: We've added the following new features to the VIVO Scholar demo (watch the demo video here):
- Home page is mostly complete (you can change the background photo)
- Profile page: the About tab is mostly done (except for organizations
- Demo data is coming from OpenVIVO for now, but sample data is coming soon
- The Search results are not complete; this will be developed in early 2020
11/4: We've revised our milestones (hey, it's software!) and are planning to release according to the following schedule:
- End of November: an early demo version with only the home page and a profile page with position and contact information
- End of December: adding the Research and Expertise tab
- End of February: adding the faceted Search
- Mid-April: beta version ready
October 2019
Duke developers attended a conference about web components and plan to develop the scholars-react user interface using web components. Web components are customizable elements of a UI that can be reused and are platform-independent.
In the VIVO community sprint, VSTF developers enhanced the developer documentation of the three VIVO Scholar components:
- The scholars-discovery module pulls data from a VIVO database to populate a SOLR search index. The data in the SOLR index in turn populates two APIs to enable systems consume the VIVO data. There's a REST-API and a GraphQL API.
- The scholars-angular user interface is the second component; it consumes data from the REST API. This is written in Angular and used by Scholars@TAMU.
- The scholars-react user interface is the third component of VIVO-Scholar and consumes data from GraphQL. This is an alternate UI written with React and Go.
These modules will give developers many options for displaying VIVO data, and provide web developers a friendly interface for using VIVO data in their own databases.
The VSTF is seeking new and existing VIVO implementations to help with testing and planning of VIVO Scholar implementation. For more information, contact Andrew Woods, Julia Trimmer, Richard Outten or anyone on the VIVO Scholar Task Force.
September 2019
The VSTF showed an early-access version of VIVO Scholar at the 2019 VIVO conference. See the demo site here: https://vivo-scholars-scholars.cloud.duke.edu/
Here's an example page showing data imported from OpenVIVO: https://vivo-scholars-scholars.cloud.duke.edu/entities/person/orcid0000-0002-1304-8447
Developers, check out the GraphQL playground here: https://scholars-discovery-scholars.cloud.duke.edu/gui
with sample queries here: https://github.com/vivo-community/scholars-discovery/wiki/Sample-GraphQL-queries
Non-developers, VIVO Scholar will use web components to enable end users to embed data in web pages. Here's a demo (more instructions coming later): https://github.com/vivo-community/scholars-discovery/wiki/Web-Components-(Demo)
