The world of scholarship is changing rapidly. Increasing demands on scholars  the growing size
and complexity of questions and problems to be addressed  and advances in sophistication of

software tools  and a community committed to sustainability are emerging to meet the needs of
scholars today.This book provides an introduction to VIVO  http:  vivoweb.org   a tool for
representing information about research and researchers -- their scholarly works  research

managing the ontology  and a platform for using the ontology to create and manage linked open
data for scholarship and discovery. Begun as a project at Cornell and further developed by an
NIH funded consortium  VIVO is now being established as an open-source project with community
participation from around the world. By the end of 2012  over 20 countries and 50 organizations
will provide information in VIVO format on more than one million researchers and research staff
