VIVO 2012 conference Call for Papers....

The Third Annual VIVO conference takes place August 22-24 in Miami, Florida:  Official Call for Papers.   

"In the past 3 years, a growing international movement of developers, researchers, administrators,funders, librarians and informaticians has converged around the vision of openly representing research and researchers via Linked Open Data. VIVO is helping to make this vision a reality through its community, through open software and the VIVO ontology, and a growing number of adopters and collaborators worldwide, across multiple knowledge domains. The 2012 VIVO conference will explore how to participate in and best take advantage of the emerging Linked Open Data world encompassing and expanding our understanding of research. How can we contribute? How will newly available data and the applications built around it change the future of research networking? How will the vision evolve into practice?"

This year's VIVO conference creates a unique opportunity for people from across the country and around the world to come together in the spirit of promoting scholarly collaboration and research discovery.

The VIVO conference is an excellent opportunity to meet with VIVO team members from participating institutions, and 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.

Who should attend?

Scholars, scientists, researchers, developers, publishers, funding agencies, research officers, students, institutional officials and those supporting the development of team science."
