History

The Harvester began life as a specialized ETL tool meant to ease the process of data ingest into VIVO. It has transformed into a general semantic ETL tool.

Introduction

The VIVO Harvester is a library of tools designed to take data from external data sources and ingest it into VIVO. The library was originally developed at the University of Florida during the 2009-2011 NIH Grant. Development of the Harvester follows a monthly release cycle. New features are built in the first 2-3 weeks of the cycle, with testing and releasing occurring during the 3rd and 4th week of the cycle.
