DuraSpace is a not-for-profit organization providing open technologies and services that promote durable access to digital data. Thomson Reuters intellectual property and science professionals drive innovation, protect intellectual assets and create maximum value from their ideas by providing solutions that power the intellectual property lifecycle.

VIVO, an open source, semantic web application and growing global community, is aimed at integrating and sharing information about researchers and institutions to support collaboration and discovery. As a DuraSpace project, VIVO institutions and DuraSpace members now have a greater opportunity to develop related technologies and services across broad academic and scientific communities. Julia Laurin, Head of Product Management for the Government and Academia group within IP& Science at Thomson Reuters said, ?As a long-time supporter of VIVO, we?re excited about the opportunities this partnership makes available, especially helping institutions to easily populate VIVO with rich journal article data in an efficient and maintainable way, which has been a common challenge.? *VIVO 2016 Conference* During the 7th Annual VIVO Conference , Aug. 17-19 in Denver, members of the Thomson Reuters IP & Science team will be available at booth #19 to discuss ways to enhance your VIVO site with high-quality publication data and implementation services. *About VIVO* VIVO (http://vivoweb.org) is an open source, open ontology, open process platform for hosting information about the interests, activities and accomplishments of scientists and scholars.

Full release notes are included below and are also available on the wiki: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/VIVODOC19x/Release+Notes Downloads are available on the GitHub release page: https://github.com/vivo-project/VIVO/releases/tag/rel-1.9.0 Version 1.9 of the VIVO open source software includes several significant new features that will improve the user experience and make it simpler to implement VIVO. This release was made possible by contributions from the following community members: Ariel D Moya Sequoia, IT Alkaid Consulting S.A. Stephan Zednik, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Christian Hauschke, Bibliothek der Hochschule Hannover Roberto J. Rodrigues, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro Benjamin Gross, UNAVCO Chad Nelson, Temple University Library Brain Lowe, Ontocale Ted Lawless, Thomson Reuters Graham Triggs, DuraSpace Nate Prewitt, CU Boulder Jim Blake, Cornell Tim Worrall, Cornell Rebecca Younes, Cornell Huda Khan, Cornell Joe McInerney, Cornell John Fereira, Cornell Alvin Hutchison, Smithsonian Simon Porter, Digital Science / University of Melbourne Mat?j Korvas, University of Melbourne Martin Kwok, University of Melbourne Melissa Makin, University of Melbourne *Here?s what?s new:* *Capability Map* -- Matching research areas with experts just got easier To address the desire for improved expert finding features in VIVO, we are pleased to introduce a capability map. This feature allows you to search for research areas, and see the relationship between the research areas and the researchers. Initially developed at the University of Melbourne, the map has been updated to use the improved visualisation architecture introduced in VIVO 1.8.1. Results are cached in the same way as other VIVO visualizations such as the Map of Science, Co-Author visualization, and Temporal Graph. *SEO Improvements* -- Making profile pages more discoverable For better indexing and discoverability of your VIVO profiles, a sitemap generator for profiles is now included. Additionally, citation meta tags are now included on the pages of works. *AltMetrics Improvements* Following the addition of AltMetric badges to publications with DOIs in 1.8.1, the support has been expanded to cover publications with PubMed IDs or ISBNs. AltMetric badges are now displayed on the publication lists within a profile page. *Maven Project Structure* To make it easier to get started with VIVO, standard Maven project structures are now used, replacing the custom Ant scripts of previous versions. Both VIVO and Vitro have been migrated to Maven. Developers cloning the projects from GitHub, should place them in directories next to each other. *Maven Based Installer* Version 1.9 introduces an "installer" project, which will assemble the application and home directories, and copy them to your Tomcat and installation / home directories. The installer will automatically download all of the necessary dependencies - including pre-built Vitro and VIVO code - in order to complete the installation. This installer also provides a natural place for sites to add their customizations, such as a custom theme, additional Java classes in the web application or RDF in the home directory. *OpenJDK Support* The image processor for uploading and generating thumbnails has been replaced with a new library. As a result, there are no known OpenJDK incompatibilities. *Performance Improvements* Thanks to Brian Lowe, Ontocale, there are significant improvements writing data to the triple store, with an updated inferencer batching changes in memory. There are also minor improvements to graph comparison code (improving startup time for large graphs), and memory reductions for the caching of data in the visualizations. *SPARQL Editor Highlighting* The YASQE highlighting editor for SPARQL has been incorporated into the SPARQL Query page, thanks to a contribution from Ted Lawless, Thomson Reuters. *About VIVO* VIVO (http://vivoweb.org) is an open source, open ontology, open process platform for hosting information about the interests, activities and accomplishments of scientists and scholars.
