Status Summary • Projects • Membership Drive • Member Survey • It can be assumed that we will increase membership when we increase content delivery. • CRIS Implementation TG!!! • Membership Card • Foreign Relations • Conferences and Events • Strategic Partners • EARMA • Working Group on Research Information Management; Eric asked to be WG Leader • Post-Conference (June 2004, Romania) CRIS Course - With Geert

  3. Progress • Achievements and progress since last status update was given • Migration of TG Sites • Need still to work on uniform design • I-Tor platform • Beginning of euroCRIS Web database • Membership Directory • Blog Design • Best Practice Database Design • EuroCrisNews Publication

  4. Progress • Things that have made progress possible • Cooperation of TG and Board members and NIEK

  5. To Think About • Delays and problems since last status update was given • “Birth Pains” • Tighter cooperation needed among TG members and between TG’s • Membership involvement lacking • Communication Channel(s) • Confusion regarding use of multiple channels • Proposal to adopt single infrastructure for membership and TG groups (I.e. board@eurocris.org, cerif@eurocris.org, projects@eurocris.org, conferences@eurocris.org, excom@eurocris.org, blog@eurocris.org, May2003Seminar@eurocris.org, members@eurocris.org, webmaster@eurocris.org, president@eurocris.org, secretary@eurocris.org, treasurer@eurocris.org, etc…

  6. To Think About • Delays and problems since last status update was given • Budgeting • Corporate Imaging (Printing and Graphics) • Posters • General euroCRIS • CERIF • Generic CRISyyyy Conferences • Brochures • Letterhead • Logo • Membership Cards • Board Member Business Cards • Web Site (I.e. professional graphic work)

  7. Web Issues & Action Items • General Design Issues • Procedures • Data entry, rights, permissions, design decisions, etc… • Contingency plan for eventually migrating server • Navigation, Frames, Menu Items, etc… • It is agreed to move away from frames and to insert main menu items on each page • There needs to be a public and private space • There should be a single logon to control rights throughout the site • There should be four levels of security • World, Members, TG Members, Board • Implementation undeway • Writing to various forms (I.e. blog, newsletter, best practice database, membership form, CRISyyyy alerts, etc…)

  8. Web Issues & Action Items • Content • We need membership input • Best Practice database • Blog • Newsletter • Brussels September Seminar Series • Seminar2004 on OA Issues • With Seminar Coordinator (Anne Asserson) • CRIS06 Site • To be prepared in short order • CRIS2004 Site • With Conference TG Chair (Annemarie Nase) • Source Code copied in part from CRIS2002

  9. Web Issues & Action Items • The “CRIS Portal” (Design & Implementation) • euroCRIS Information System (The euroCRIS Web Database a la Niek) • This is the “links” section, and includes many components: • Membership (Expertise) Database design • Blog & Newsletter • Best Practices Database Design • This implementation must be developed according to the agreed upon format as represented in the ppt. • This system is almost ready for testing. • It is critical that ALL CERIF implementations and initiatives be entered immediately. This section should then be referenced from the CERIF page as a query to the database.

  10. Web Issues & Action Items • The “portal” concept as appears in the ppt must be developed within the database (links) concept. The types of information resources must be incorporated into the euroCRIS taxonomy / descriptors. • Digital Library • This currently appears as links and as reference material. The Reference material section should be moved into the database and appear as the CRIS Related Digital Library • CRIS Conference Papers must be referenced under the publication section

  11. Web Issues & Action Items • Contacts Database (I.e. past conference participants, ECN subscribers, CRIS2006 Alerts, etc…) • There should be a distributed approach to data entry • There should be a distributed approach to data pushing • We need to agree on the euroCRIS descriptors - a euroCRIS Taxonomy • This is a CERIF / Best Practice TG action item • We need a Website Committee • ExCom, CERIF, CRIS TG, Secretariat

  12. Action Items • EuroCrisNews Publication • Scope and Frequency • Will be limited to euroCRIS news • Will be published once every two months • Editorial Assistance • This will be pursued, but left as is for the time being

  13. Goals for Next Review • New TG Head • Early election for this post • Nominees solicited • Date of next status update • September euroCRIS seminar • Goals for next review • Re-engineering of website • Increased informational content • From membership
