VIVO Networking Conference, August 12-13, New York
City
Over the past few years, we've had several presentations at CNI
covering a system called VIVO, which originated at Cornell and was
designed to help researchers find other researchers with similar or
related interests. More recently, with funding from the National
Institutes of Health, it has established a national footprint. You can
find video of their presentation at the Spring 2010 CNI meeting
at

Next month, the VIVO consortium is holding its first meeting. I
have included the call for participation below.

New York Hall of Science
The first annual National VIVO Conference, Enabling National
Networking of Scientists, will bring together scientists, developers,
publishers, funding agencies, research officers, students and those
supporting the development of team science. This two day conference
will begin with workshops and tutorials for those new to VIVO, those
implementing VIVO at their institutions, and those wishing to develop
applications using VIVO. Invited speakers will present regarding the
Semantic Web, Linked Open Data and the role of VIVO in support of team
science. Panelists will discuss adoption and implementation findings.
Feedback sessions will engage participants in requirements gathering
and brainstorming regarding future network services. Presenters will
discuss mapping, social networking, crowd sourcing, support for
societies and other national network applications. Learn more at http://vivoweb.org/conference.
