  1. Current Research Information Systems Anna Clements Data Architect, University of St Andrews

  2. Agenda • What is a CRIS? • Who needs it and why? • A brief history of CERIF and euroCRIS • CERIF-CRIS at St Andrews

  3. What is a CRIS? “a Current Research Information System, commonly known as "CRIS", is any information tool dedicated to provide access to and disseminate research information”(www.eurocris.org) A CRIS consists of • a datamodel describing objects of interest to R&D • a tool or set of tools to manage the data

  4. What information could be in a CRIS? • Who could use a CRIS and for what purpose? 10 – 15 minutes brainstorm

  5. CERIF Entities Facility Equipment Funding ExpertiseAndSkills Service Qualification ElectronicAddresse Prize PostalAddress CV Country Citation Currency Metrics Event Language

  6. Linkages From CERIF • CERIF does not only provide strong, role-typed, timestamped within-links • But also provides the facility for strong, role-typed, timestamped outward-links

  7. End-User CRIS Research Context [projects, persons, organisational units funding, products, patents, publications facilities, equipment, events] CERIF CERIF OA Repository Documents e-Research repository Datasets and Software OAI-PMH Variousprotocols CRIS + Repositories

  8. Who needs it and why? • political decision-makers • funding organisations • research institutions • individual researchers • entrepreneurs and innovators • media and general public

  9. Agenda • What is a CRIS? • Who needs it and why? • A brief history of CERIF and euroCRIS • CERIF-CRIS at St Andrews

  10. CERIF & euroCRIS • CERIF is an EU Recommendation to Member States http://cordis.europa.eu/cerif/ • The European Commission (EC) has authorised euroCRIS to maintain and develop CERIF and its usage • http://www.eurocris.org
