Reflections of The Service Provider

A presentation given by Jonathan Breeze & Alex Viggio at the VIVO 2015 conference in Cambridge, MA.

Abstract

As the first official DuraSpace Registered Service Provider for VIVO, Symplectic provides services that cover everything from installation to support of VIVO on client servers. Our continued involvement in user groups, the DuraSpace community and participation in VIVO working groups mean that we are well placed to support the needs of the VIVO community.
Symplectic is also a registered service provider for Profiles RNS, the open source Semantic Web research networking platform based on the VIVO ontology. This presentation will reflect on Symplectic’s first year as a Registered Service Provider, showcasing the projects we have supported for both VIVO and Profiles RNS - covering installations, data analysis, data population and customisation. As well as our current engagements, we will introduce a number of new initiatives we plan to introduce in support of both open source communities.
