# VIVO: Connect, Share, Discover
VIVO is an open source semantic web application originally developed and implemented at Cornell.
When installed and populated with researcher interests, activities, and accomplishments,
it enables the discovery of research and scholarship across disciplines at that institution and beyond.
VIVO is an open source semantic web tool for research discovery -- finding people and the research they do.
VIVO supports browsing and a search function which returns faceted results for rapid retrieval
of desired information. Content in any local VIVO installation may be maintained manually,
brought into VIVO in automated ways from local systems of record
(such as HR, grants, course, and faculty activity databases),
or from database providers (such as publication aggregators and funding agencies).
VIVO supports editing, searching, browsing and visualizing research activity in order to discover people, programs, facilities, funding, scholarly works, and events. VIVO's search returns results faceted by type for rapid retrieval of desired information across disciplines at one institution or, through a prototype at vivosearch.org, across multiple distributed institutions.
