This repository contains the customisations made by Griffith University as part of development of the Research Hub ( http://research-hub.griffith.edu.au ). The Research Hub is based on VIVO/Vitro software version 1.5.1 ( see below section on VIVO ), and requires installation of VIVO/Vitro to create a working instance.
The Research Hub also uses a customised version of MOAI ( https://pypi.python.org/pypi/MOAI/2.0.0 ) to enable a OAI-PMH interface for data discovery. Our MOAI customisations can be found here: https://github.com/gu-eresearch/VIVO_moai
The Griffith Research Hub (GRH) was developed with funding from the Australian National Data Service (ANDS) and Griffith University. The Hub includes modifications to several open source products (VIVO, Jeddox, MOAI etc). The code for each component is licensed under the terms of the parent product.
The Research Hub does implement some customised user experiences in terms of imporved faceted search and enchanced editing templates, but has no major changes in regards to site administration and usage. We reccomend that you follow the VIVO documentation in the links below, for in-depth information on installation, upgrade, administration and ontology management, as well as the excellent and very active vivo-dev-all mailing list mentioned below.
For installation/upgrade documentation for VIVO/Vitro software version 1.5, please see the VIVO Installation and Upgrade Guides located on this page: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/VIVO/Install+Guide.
Below are some very basic steps for deploying a VIVO 1.5 instance with Griffith's customisations in a linux/unix environment: (assumes working installations of Java, Tomcat 6, ant and git). The only real difference from building a vanilla VIVO instance from GitHub is that you are cloning Griffiths VIVO repository instead of the vanilla VIVO repository.
- Create directory for vivo source:
mkdir vivo - Clone the Vitro core repository:
git clone https://github.com/vivo-project/Vitro.git Vitro - Clone the Griffith modifications repository:
git clone https://github.com/gu-eresearch/VIVO.git vivo - Enter the vivo directory:
cd vivo - Create symlink to vitro core files:
ln -s ../Vitro vitro-core - Modify your deploy.properties file to match your environment (see VIVO documentation for further details on this)
- Test a build of your VIVO instance:
ant test - Compile and deploy VIVO instance:
ant all - Start your tomcat server
- Access your VIVO installation by pointing your browser to the designated VIVO url specified in deploy.properties

Specific 1.5 Install Guide: http://sourceforge.net/projects/vivo/files/Project%20Documentation/VIVO_Release_V1.5_Installation_Guide.pdf/download
All VIVO/Vitro source code can be found on GitHub: https://github.com/vivo-project.
The only functional change to the user experience of VIVO based on Griffiths modifications, is a different theme (display layout) including a enhanced faceted search interface. Otherwise, the experience of using and administering VIVO with Griffith's modifications are similar to that of a vanilla VIVO instance. Therefore, for detailed documentation, please refer to all existing documentation created for VIVO and contained on the VIVO wiki: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/VIVO/VIVO+Main+Page

VIVO is an open source semantic web application originally developed and implemented at Cornell. When installed and populated with researcher interests, activities, and accomplishments, it enables the discovery of research and scholarship across disciplines at that institution and beyond.
VIVO supports browsing and a search function which returns faceted results for rapid retrieval of desired information. Content in any local VIVO installation may be maintained manually, brought into VIVO in automated ways from local systems of record (such as HR, grants, course, and faculty activity databases), or from database providers (such as publication aggregators and funding agencies).

The best place to get your hands dirty in the VIVO Project. Developers and Implementers frequent this listserv to get the latest on feature design, development planning, and testing.
The VIVO ontology serves as the data model for the VIVO application as well as an independent ontology for representing researchers in the context of their experience, outputs, interests, accomplishments, and associated institutions. This list is a place where you can
- raise modeling requirements,
- share your domain expertise to improve or extend the ontology,
- discuss the technical details of the design of the VIVO OWL ontology,
- share general ontology topics and news.
Implementing VIVO for the first time? Upgrading to the latest version? This list brings implementers together to help identify and solve questions ranging from installation to best practices.
For instant access to VIVO developers visit the VIVO IRC Channel. VIVO is still a small project so this channel is frequented by developers and end users alike. All are welcome.
