The Ninth Annual VIVO Conference will be held June 6th through 8th at the JB Duke Hotel in Durham NC. The VIVO Conference creates a unique opportunity for people from around the world to come together to explore ways to use semantic technologies and linked open data to promote scholarly collaboration and research discovery.
The VIVO conference is an excellent opportunity to meet with VIVO team members from participating institutions. The conference offers an open and collaborative environment to share ideas and discuss topics related to adoption and implementation of VIVO, VIVO-based tools and the opportunities created by advancing data sharing and team science.
Our theme this year is “The value of making scholarly data open, found, and consumed.” Therefore:
-
If you are an implementer, technologist, librarian or data scientist working in the VIVO space, we want to hear from you!
-
If you use a product supported by the VIVO ontology such as VIVO, Profiles RNS, Clarivate Analytics, or Elsevier Pure and you have a story to tell, we want to hear from you!
-
If you are involved in other aspects of disseminating open scholarly data or the semantic scholarly web, we want to hear from you!
Deadlines:
- Late breaking poster proposals must be received by Wednesday, May 30th, 2018 at 12:00 AM EST
