Extended search ontology has been introduced. This ontology enables configuration of searching. Filters for refining search results can be defined. Search results can be sorted by different criteria, i.e. by relevance or by some field such as date or name. At the end, type of objects (classes) and instances which can be searchable for different roles can be defined. The feature is documented at Using Search.
The role management module is based on Attribute
based access control from VIVO 1.15.0. For this purpose, an
ontology has been introduced. This approach enables more
control over definition of permissions for certain roles.
The public option for resetting password which a user can carry out individually without administrator has been implemented. The option is based on sending an email with a secured link for resetting the user password. The feature is documented at Editing Your Profile.
A module enabling tracking of changes being made in the triple store has been implemented. Changes made by users and non-person entities are recorded in a triple store, with the users ID (URI), the time, and the changes that have been made. More info about this feature can be found at The VIVO audit module.
Researcher and organization individual pages can be
private, i.e. visible only for users with certain permissions
(not for anonymous users, i.e. visitors).
