Program Description
In 2012, the University of Idaho Library began implementing VIVO, an open-source Semantic Web application, both as a database to describe, visualize, and report university research activity as well as a discovery layer for its fledgling institutional repository.
Since VIVO was not designed to be used as an institutional repository, the University of Idaho Library has encountered unique difficulties, challenges, and opportunities. This talk will detail some of those challenges, discuss tools and techniques, and encourage others to take the untrodden path.
