Editorial commentary
VIVO uses the VIVO Ontology (an OWL ontology that imports BIBO, FOAF, and several other vocabularies) to express research-information facts as RDF triples in a triple store, with a Java web application providing the user interface and SPARQL endpoints for federated querying. VIVO instances at participating universities can be harvested into the VIVO Search service (VIVO Search) and into wider linked-data graphs. VIVO is one of the principal open-source CRIS-style platforms and is influential in the linked-data-for-research movement.
