DRIS/BP Task Group Report, Madrid, Sergey Parinov, TG leader Barbara Ebert, deputy TG leader

DRIS concept (in brief) DRIS has to be supportive for building a research DIS and to develop e-infrastructure, e.g. as Pan European (or wider) Research Portal Basic DRIS – proper visualization of CRISs characteristics with focus on CERIF based interoperability and interests of other TGs Extended DRIS – a unit of global research e- infrastructure (e.g. information hub) served to reuse CRIS artifacts outside parent systems

DRIS usefulness Visualization of CRISs landscape and potential benefits of interoperability among CRISs Registration of CRIS artifacts for its using outside parent systems CRIS artifact types: 1)content, 2)software (tools/services), 3)sem.linkages, 4)indicators, … DRIS new features: what CRISs have: –semantic linkages for the selected information object –specific indicators and/or services to produce necessary indicator over selected information objects

TG’s main activities on (a proposal) Best Practice materials: –technical platform (a euroCRIS repository) –submission & selection policy –use cases and structure of catalogues DRIS: –a startup of the current DRIS application –use cases –extended DRIS as research e-infrastructure unit –requirements, a concept and technical platforms –funded projects, partner organizations and a consortium

Topics of BP/DRIS TG meeting November 6 th, 10:00 – 13:00 10:00 – 11:00 –Mission, work done to-date, discussion 11:00 – 12:00 (joint with CRIS-IR TG) –DRIS demonstration (about 30 minutes, Ed Simons) –Discussion: necessary improvements, when the launch 12:00 – 12:30 Breakout in small working groups –Best Practice (materials and expertise, a repository, etc.) –DRIS (how to make DRIS useful: extended DRIS, etc.) 12:30 – 13:00 Closing discussion –Priorities for a TG work program, Updated work program

DRIS Use cases Basic DRIS – similar to IR lists, like ROAR, DOAR, etc. –to get a picture about CRISs landscape –to investigate a resource of possible CRIS interoperability –to find out needed content, metadata, etc. Extended DRIS – –a list of CRIS artifacts (more details about CRIS) –a support of interoperability for CRIS2CRIS and CRIS2Humans

Challenges of DRIS subTG A list of use cases for basic DRIS Current basic DRIS application – necessary improvements and proper startup Extended DRIS –new use cases, requirements, a concept –types of interoperability –a technical platform for experiments –a request to vendors for providing us tools

Storing semantic linkages for outside using of information objects Storing necessary data (URL/protocols) for CRIS artifacts using Visualization of CRISs landscape and potential benefits of interoperability What CRIS has for outside using: content, software, linkages, indicators

Challenges of BP subTG A technical platform to manage catalogues of different types of BP materials (a repository?) Submission & selection rules A structure of BP catalogues Use cases
