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.
