VIVO Documentation
Old Release
This documentation relates to an old version of VIVO, version 1.9.x. Looking for another version? See all documentation.
Organizations in VIVO are instantiations of foaf:Organization. VIVO adds attributes to record identifiers. A vcard is used to record contact information, URLs and geolocation.
Organizations may have relationships to other organizations. The "part of" relationship describes an organization as part of another in a hierarchical sense. For example, the History Department may be part of a College of Liberal Arts. The "successor" relationship describes an organization which no longer exists, and for which a successor organization now exists.

Dark blue – the entity being modeled
Light blue – entities dependent on the entity being modeled. These will typically be created along with the entity being modeled, and should be removed if the entity being modeled is removed.
Green – independent entities. These typically pre-exist in your VIVO when adding the entity being modeled. These should not be removed if the entity being modeled is removed.
