VIVO has been around since 2006, created at Cornell University. It took off from 2009 to 2012 + as the result of a large multi-institutional project, which I had the honour of leading. At its peak, more than 180 people were working on the project at - seven schools -- Cornell University in Ithaca, Indiana University in Bloomington, the University of Florida, where - I work, Weill Cornell Medical College in New York City, Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, California, - Washington University at St. Louis College of Medicine, and Ponce Medical School in Ponce Puerto Rico. The - team was outstanding. Since the NIH project, VIVO has transitioned to a sponsored project of Duraspace. They have - been tremendous partners.

Since 2009 the software was significantly expanded. We started a conference series, we held - implementation fests, VIVO spread to over 200 schools around the world. VIVO is freely available, open - source software for representing the scholarship of institutions. It is institutionally-based. Each school - makes its own decisions about how VIVO will be used and what will be represented.

VIVO is a collection - of VIVO sites, just like the world wide web is a collection of independent web servers. VIVO is a semantic web - application, based on an open ontology. That takes some getting used to, but the results are well worth the learning.
