2. Royal netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences
Department of Research Information
Mission:
National focal point of research information

3. Two worlds of CRIS and OAR in the Netherlands Dutch portal NARCIS
Outline
Two worlds of CRIS and OAR in the Netherlands
Dutch portal NARCIS
Digital Author Identifier – DAI
Future
Conclusions

4. Academic Information Domain
Publications Repositories
CRIS/CERIF
E-Research + software
Other institutional systems, like financial information domain

5. Ideal situation: all AID well connected

6. Existing situation in the Netherlands

7. Current Research Information System - CRIS
Every university and the Academy: CRIS called Metis
Content
Researchers: research data, workplaces
Research institutions: profiles and addresses
Research Programmes and projects
Bibliographical information on research results

8. National CRIS: Dutch Research database
Sources:
University and Academy systems: Metis
Other research institutions
National Research Council
Content:
Research programmes and projects
Research institutions
Researchers + expertise
Datamodel:
CERIF: developed by EuroCRIS

9. Person ID in University Systems and in the Dutch Research Database
Person ID:PRS
Title:Prof.dr.
Initials:W.H.J.
Family name:Meeus
Extern ID:
DAI
UU 18361
Person ID:PRS
Title: Prof.dr.
Initials:M.T.H.
Family name:Meeus
Extern ID:
DAI
TUE11905
UU 69803

10. Open Access repositories: publications and e-data
27 institutions with Open Access publication repositories: including the 14 universities, Academy, National Research Council
219,000 OA publications
1 institution with an e-data repository: DANS =Data Archiving and Networked Services
14, 500 datasets in the field of Humanities and Social Sciences

11. Existing situation in the Netherlands

14. Digital Author Identifier - DAI
Digital Author Identifier is a unique number
Assigned to every author who has been appointed to a position at a university or reserach institute
Avoids name ambiguity and variants
In the Nederlands: national number
For example: info:eu-repo/dai/nl/

15. Assigning DAI’s
METIS (CRIS) as source

16. Joining CRIS, OAR and e-data
Cooperation
Technical aspects:
Interoperability:
Using OAI-PMH protocol
Exchange formats:
DC as a minimum
MODS (DAI) in DIDL container
CERIF based XML for CRIS

17. DAI in MODS

18. Because researchers want to have publication lists:
Future plans
Because researchers want to have publication lists:
harvest the not-open access (restricted) publications in repositories
Harvest the bibliographical information of the Metis systems

19. Seperate worlds of CRIS and OAR
Conclusion
Seperate worlds of CRIS and OAR
In NARCIS these worlds come together by harvesting
Digital Author Identifiers interlink the information
Need of standards and appointments
