Profiles is a tool to speed the process of finding researchers with specific areas of expertise for collaboration and professional networking. Profiles is a federated web application that uses the VIVO ontology, which standardizes researchers information for sharing and allows different institutions to “talk” to each other through federated queries, enabling networks to extend beyond local collaborations while protecting institutional data. Profiles is the support application for the new and improved scientists directory, RTRN Profiles.
