At its core, the semantic web comprises a set of design principles, collaborative working groups, and a variety of enabling technologies. Some elements of the semantic web are expressed as prospective future possibilities that are yet to be implemented or realized.Other elements of the semantic web are expressed in formal specifications.\nSome of these include Resource Description Framework (RDF), a variety of data interchange formats (e.g. RDF\/XML, N3, Turtle, N-Triples), and notations such as RDF Schema (RDFS) and the Web Ontology Language (OWL), all of which are intended to provide a formal description of concepts, terms, and relationships within a given knowledge domain. -&quot;definition from Wikipedia&quot; http:\/\/semanticweb.org\/wiki\/Main_Page\" href=\"http:\/\/vivoweb.org\/glossary\/term\/51\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">!<\/a><\/sup> constructs thus this cooperation is timely.<\/p>\n<p>We propose to structure the cooperation in three aspects:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\u00a0Interoperation and convergence of semantics in the two systems;<\/li>\n<li>Interoperation of the systems to allow homogeneous access over heterogeneous research information systems;<\/li>\n<li>Exploring utilising the VIVO user interface for researchers as a \u2018front-end\u2019 to the CERIF research information storage environment;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Full statements on <a title=\"eurocris.org\" href=\"http:\/\/www.eurocris.org\/Index.php?page=banner&amp;t=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">eurocris.org<\/a> and <a title=\"vivoiweb.org\" href=\"http:\/\/vivoweb.org\/blog\/2011\/11\/joint-statement-eurocris-and-vivo-project\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">vivoweb.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Board of euroCRIS and the Leaders of the VIVO Project team are delighted to announce their intention to cooperate in the development of international systems for research information. euroCRIS is mandated by the European Commission to maintain, develop and &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/community\/vivo\/2011\/11\/04\/joint-statement-eurocris-and-the-vivo-project\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":379,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_s2mail":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-25","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/community\/vivo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/community\/vivo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/community\/vivo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/community\/vivo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/379"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/community\/vivo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/community\/vivo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":31,"href":"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/community\/vivo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25\/revisions\/31"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/community\/vivo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/community\/vivo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/community\/vivo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
