Google indexing improvements

Continuing the SEO improvements from 1.9.0, this release addresses some small issues with the way schema.org metadata was marked up, improving indexing in Google.

Capability map tweaks

Improvements have been made to the caching services that should result in a more responsive experience when using the capability map

Maven improvements

The Maven project settings have been changed to correctly use UTF-8 character set for source, and to ensure that Java 1.7 is set as a target.

With these changes, building on Windows should be more reliable.

Capability map

Initially developed by University of Melbourne, and adapted from modifications by University of Colorado, Boulder, the capability map is a new addition to VIVO, allowing you to visualise the relationship between people and their research areas.

This version has been modified to work via caches directly from the triple store, so every VIVO instance can use it without installing additional software.

Maven project structure

Converting from a custom Ant script to a standard Maven project layout allows the majority of existing Java developers to get started with VIVO more easily.

Additionally, the size of the standard distribution is greatly reduced, with pre-built artefacts being retrieved from central servers at installation time. For developers that require access to the whole of the source code, they should download the "full" distributions.

For additional information about the enhancements and bug fixes in v1.9.0, please read the full release notes on the VIVO wiki.

Release vivo-1.8.1

VIVO 1.8.1—Improved Performance and New Visualizations

Full release notes are available on the VIVO wiki: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/VIVO/VIVO+v1.8.1+Release+Notes.

Performance improvements

Users should see up to 75% reduction in time to display profiles compared to VIVO 1.8, and a 30% reduction compared to VIVO 1.7. These findings have been observed on both small data sets (200 people, 3,500 articles), and large data sets (4,500 people, 40,000 articles). Most profiles - even large/complex profiles - display within approximately two seconds.

Visualizations

New Javascript based versions of Co-Author and Co-Investigator are networks available. These new visualizations do not require Flash and display on mobile devices such as phones and tablets.

New AltMetric badges are enabled on publications by default, providing direct link to AltMetric information regarding the publication.

All visualizations have significant performance improvements. Maps of Science, Temporal Graphs and Co-author and Co-Investigator networks now all complete in just a few seconds. The very largest Maps of Science may require up to two minutes to complete.
