VIVO developers and implementers
VIVO is an open source, semantic-web tool for research and scholarship discovery. Emerging tools enable participants to visualize research activity, discover linkages between people, programs, funding, scholarly works, events and more.
When VIVO is installed and populated with researcher interests, activities, and accomplishments, it enables the discovery of research and scholarship across disciplines at that institution. VIVO supports browsing and a search function which returns faceted results for rapid retrieval of desired information.
Content in any local VIVO installation may be maintained manually, brought in to VIVO in automated ways from local systems of record, such as HR, grants, course, and faculty activity databases, or from database providers such as publication aggregators and funding agencies.

Many institutions run VIVO behind a campus firewall while they are under evaluation or have otherwise contributed to the VIVO community. So there may not be public links to their VIVO instances below. Institutions with contact information are willing to be contacted directly to share their experiences, or you might reach others on the VIVO implementation mailing list.
