The added ontology should be visible in the ontologies listed under "Ontology List".

For example:

...

  • To add the SWRC ontology to VIVO:
  • Go to Site Admin > Ontology List > Add New Ontology

      ...

        • Ontology Name="SWRC"

      ...

      ...

        • Namespace Prefix="swrc"
      • Create New Record button

      Keep in mind

      • Type namespace URIs carefully and include the final / or # depending on the namespace URI format of the ontology involved
      • Adding an ontology namespace to VIVO's ontology list does not import the specified ontology's classes or properties (or data for individuals). To add an ontology with an RDFi file, please see Add/remove RDF
      • If local requirements introduce the need to create additional ontology classes and properties for your installation of VIVO, do not create extensions in the VIVO core namespace or the namespace of any other existing ontology. First create a new ontology for your extensions as described above and give it a namespace with the following pattern: http://vivo.mydomain.edu/ontology/vivo-mydomain. For example, Cornell ontology extensions would be in the namespace (http://vivo.cornell.edu/ontology/vivo-cornell/) . Note the trailing right-slash character. Then, when creating classes or properties, be sure to select this new ontology in the "ontology" dropdown list.
