Overview

The Data Distribution API is used to create data feeds from your VIVO site by editing a configuration file.

Use data feeds to:

• provide content to other sites
• service AJAX requests from your own VIVO pages
• provide a more responsive user interface on your VIVO site
• drive visualizations of your VIVO data

Get more use of the data in your VIVO site

• without opening your site to expensive queries
• without digging into the internals of VIVO
• without writing any Java code

You will likely need to know SPARQL, Turtle syntax for RDF, and the structure of your data in VIVO.
