Many gadgets are already available

We've developed a library of open source gadgets you can install on your research networking system. Most of these gadgets will work in VIVO or Profiles without alteration. Others have back end processes that are specifically coded to the Profiles data structure, and a few are specific to UCSF data sources. However, all are open source and we hope that you will use these to make your particular research network sites more feature rich, making alterations as necessary and then contributing back to the ORNG open source community.
