VIVO Scholar task force
The task force is pleased to announce VIVO Scholar 0.9.0-beta and Scholars Discovery 1.0.0-RC1. VIVO Scholar is an optional UI that can be installed with an existing VIVO site. The VIVO Scholar UI is easy to customize and provides additional faceted search features. Scholars Discovery is a middleware component that consumes VIVO data and makes it available in GraphQL, which provides an easy query interface for web developers to re-use VIVO data.
- For more about VIVO Scholar, see the VIVO Scholar Task Force wiki page.
- The VIVO Scholar README and the Scholars Discovery README in GitHub provide details about how to install these components.
- William Welling from TAMU and Rob Nelson from Duke have been nominated to the Committers Group.
