Researchers@Brown brings together, in one site, publicly available information on the people, departments, and activities that collectively make up research and scholarship in all disciplines at Brown University. Researchers@Brown is an implementation of VIVO, an open community, open information model, and open source semantic web application. VIVO was originally developed at Cornell University and was improved and expanded via an National Institutes of Health (NIH) multi-institution grant in 2009 – 2012. VIVO is currently a project of DuraSpace, an independent 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization whose mission is to “preserve and provide access to the world’s intellectual, cultural and scientific heritage” by supporting open technologies that provide long-term, durable access to digital assets. VIVO is currently in use at over 150 institutions worldwide.
