ABOUT THE WEBINAR:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
VIVO is a semantic web application focused on discovering researchers and research publications in the life sciences. \u00a0The service, which uses open-source software originally developed and implemented at Cornell University, operates by harvesting data about researcher interests, activities, and accomplishments from academic, administrative, professional, and funding sources. \u00a0Using a built-in, editable ontology for describing things such as People, Courses, and Publications, data is transformed into a Semantic-Web-compliant form. \u00a0VIVO provides automated and self-updating processes for improving data quality and authenticity. Starting with a classic Google-style search box, VIVO users can browse search results structured around people, research interests, courses, publications, and the like — data that can be exposed for re-use by other systems in a machine-readable format.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This webinar, held by a veteran at the Albert R. Mann Library Information Technology Services department at Cornell, where the VIVO project was born, presents the perspective of a software developer on the practicalities of building a high-quality Semantic-Web search service on existing data maintained in dozens of formats and software platforms at large, diverse institutions. \u00a0The talk will highlight services that leverage the Semantic Web platform in innovative ways, e.g., for finding researchers based on the text content of a particular Web page and for visualizing networks of collaboration across institutions.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
SPEAKER:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
John Fereira, a senior programmer\/analyst and technology strategist at Cornell University, is a contributing member of the VIVO project team. \u00a0He also consults on issues related to information technology in higher education with an emphasis on open-source, modular, distributed software systems and is currently working on systems based on VIVO software for international Agricultural Information systems communities.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Registration closes one hour before the webinar begins.<\/div>\n
