VIVO v1.6 Release Notes
What is this document?
The VIVO 1.6 Release Announcement covers the main features of the release at a high level but leaves out a number of helpful specifics. This document is intended to help those planning to implement the release as either a new installation or upgrade to learn more about new features and find pointers to more complete documentation elsewhere on this wiki.
The VIVO ontology has become VIVO-ISF
VIVO v1.6 incorporates major changes to the ontology that reflect a need dating back to 2009 to bring the VIVO and eagle-i project (https://www.eagle-i.net) ontologies closer together. NIH elected to fund two distinct projects focusing on the networking of researchers (VIVO) and research resources (eagle-i) but recognized the artificiality of the split and has encouraged collaboration, most recently by funding the CTSAconnect project (http://ctsaconnect.org) with Dr. Melissa Haendel of Oregon Health and Science University as principal investigator.
