Figure 2 (above): The VIVO application comes pre-packaged with an ontology (semantic vocabulary) that doesn’t cover many geodetic concepts. Figure 2 illustrates a relationship not fully supported in the VIVO-ISF ontology. A project will have many stations which may host multiple instruments (e.g. GPS and meteorological equipment), which are attached to one or more platforms (see Figure 3 for an example). Figure 4 (above): Datasets can be linked to a major geophysical event, such as an earthquake. The products shown, and others such as software and models, are tied to skos:Concepts, which are pulled from controlled vocabularies whenever possible. Geodesy-specific concepts were added to the application to capture research areas and expertise. The VIVO application was customized to better capture the needs of the geodesy community. The customizations implemented so far include ontology extensions and mapping capabilities. For the initial rollout, the database was populated from a diverse array of sources, summarized below (Figure 5). As the application matures, relevant data will be added automatically using APIs from the NSF, ORCID, and CrossRef.
