- Abstract
In 2012, the University of Idaho Library began implementing VIVO, an opensource Semantic Web application, both as a discovery layer for its fledgling institutional repository and as a database to describe, visualize, and report university research activity. The presenters will detail some of the challenges they encountered developing this resource, while discussing the tools and techniques they used for obtaining, editing, and uploading institutional data into the RDF-based VIVO system.
