The world of scholarship is changing rapidly. Increasing demands on
scholars, the growing size and complexity of questions and problems
to be addressed, and advances in sophistication of data collection,
analysis, and presentation require new approaches to scholarship. A
ubiquitous, open information infrastructure for scholarship,
consisting of linked open data, open-source software tools, and a
community committed to sustainability are emerging to meet the
needs of scholars today. This book provides an introduction to
VIVO, http://vivoweb.org/, a tool for representing information
about research and researchers -- their scholarly works, research
interests, and organizational relationships. VIVO provides an
expressive ontology, tools for managing the ontology, and a
platform for using the ontology to create and manage linked open
data for scholarship and discovery. Begun as a project at Cornell
and further developed by an NIH funded consortium, VIVO is now
being established as an open-source project with community
participation from around the world. By the end of 2012, over 20
countries and 50 organizations will provide information in VIVO
format on more than one million researchers and research staff,
including publications, research resources, events, funding,
courses taught, and other scholarly activity. The rapid growth of
VIVO and of VIVO-compatible data sources speaks to the fundamental
need to transform scholarship for the 21st century. Table of
