ST&I Indicators: How was the process before… 70-80’s 80-90’s Paper Forms Electronic Forms Main problems Multiple sources of information Lack of standards Multiple efforts in S&T communities Waste of public funds Institutional system is not involved ST&I Indicators Relational DB Homogeneous sources

Concluding Remarks Methodology –Standards –Classifications, international references (difficult to live with organizational specificities) –Flexible –How to expand horizontal and vertically without destroying the reference model –Free from specific technologies –Research is always there Redundancy (production in the CVs) Entities relationship management on a decentralized flow system Knowledge systems Collaboration is in place –it is not a matter of hiring a software house or even to build up in house

Concluding Remarks New Public decision maker mentality –We are not talking about “informatics”; –If the systems work fine they will not be “ours” anymore: ( knowledge society effect) –Careful with the “call center” The issue of “convincing” the Researches: –Ex: identification, public x private information –The key is how to make them say “this is my CV” Transparency x Ownership –What to do with “non certified” information? –You have to trust in the researcher word!!! –You have also to be prepared to the “pointed out” effect Internationally –Idioms (but also culture) issues –Political timing x needing timing
