Overview

Direct2Experts was a cross-site search capability for identifying expertise as expressed by research networking systems such as VIVO, PURE, and Harvard Profiles.  Every VIVO site version 1.10 and later has Direct2Experts capability built-in.

The Direct2Experts Endpoints

VIVO uses two endpoints to provide Direct2Experts services:

  1. The bootstrap endpoint.  For VIVO,  this is /FS.xml.  A small XML file is returned describing your VIVO endpoint.  Your application name, set in application-settings.xml is returned by FS.xml
  2. The aggregated query endpoint.  For VIVO, this is /ctsasearch.
