VIVO (open-source)

VIVO is an open-source semantic-web research-information platform — used heavily in US AMCs, Cornell, Duke, UF, NIH, and elsewhere. RDF-native; supports SPARQL queries; CRediT integration via SKOS Concept mappings. Excellent fit for the CASRAI Dictionary because VIVO's ontology stack naturally consumes RDF Turtle / OWL.
