euroCRIS Membership Meeting, Vienna, 1-2 November 2007 Directory of Research Information Systems using CERIF Taavi Tiirik Archimedes Foundation, Estonia

euroCRIS Membership Meeting, Vienna, 1-2 November 2007 Table of contents Proposed content of the entry in DRIS How to map DRIS entry into CERIF, some examples: –Select features from predefined lists –Geographical coverage of the RIS Open issues to be resolved Similarities between cfProject and cfService entities Further simplifications of the CERIF model?

euroCRIS Membership Meeting, Vienna, 1-2 November 2007 Proposed content of the entry in DRIS Name of the RIS, Acronym, URL Description of content and purpose Main entities, classification schemes used Subject coverage, geographical coverage Languages of content and user interface Update frequency Searchability, compatibility with other systems Sources of information Hosting institution, contact information Degree of CERIF compliance

euroCRIS Membership Meeting, Vienna, 1-2 November 2007 Predefined lists of features

euroCRIS Membership Meeting, Vienna, 1-2 November 2007 Geographical coverage of the RIS

euroCRIS Membership Meeting, Vienna, 1-2 November 2007 Open issues to be resolved Contact information –Provide cfOrganisationUnit_ElectronicAddress and cfOrganisationUnit_PostAddress? OrganisationUnit can have other addresses. How to specify which addresses are relevant to the cfService entity? Compatibility / interoperability with other systems (for example OPAC, PubMed, etc.) –Indicate compatible systems (similar to other “lists of features”) –Provide description for each of the selected systems to further describe the extent of the compatibility / interoperability. How to do that using CERIF?

euroCRIS Membership Meeting, Vienna, 1-2 November 2007 Ideas for the future CERIF simplifications More generic model for CERIF in the future? –cfService and cfProject would become rather identical. Could we find a way to combine similar constructions in the model? –All texts that can be translated into different languages could be described using one entity instead of 40 almost identical ones.
