CRIS

A Current Research Information System (CRIS) is a database or other information system storing data on current research supported by a funding programme and produced by designated organisations and researchers. CRIS solutions (such as PURE developed by Atira or CONVERIS developed by Avedas) record contracts, projects, publications, study plans and patents related to funded research. Benefits of CRIS solutions include easy access to relevant information and functionality to collect more data to overcome incomplete or inconsistent information. One particular type of CRIS standard for information systems is the CERIF standard, proposed by the EU and developed and maintained by euroCRIS.

This use case outlines potential user requirements and technical development considerations for a proposed integrated data-feed API that is able to supply machine-readable, machine-executable information on both publisher- and funder-policies regarding Open Access (OA) publication. The proposed API would support enhanced sharing of data-driven infrastructure functionality across both Current Research Information System (CRIS) and Institutional Repository (IR) platforms.

Proposed directory of RIM system implementations

This is a preliminary analysis of a proposed 'Directory of RIM System Implementations' that inventories the range of Research Information Management (RIM) systems available within UK Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). As the basis for planning harmonised repository services, RepNet is surveying the heterogenous landscape of RIM systems, including both Current Research Information System (CRIS) and Institutional Repository (IR) platforms.

Proposed metadata enhancement suite

This use case outlines potential user requirements and technical development considerations for a proposed suite of metadata enhancement tools, designed to support automated extraction of metadata useful for repository deposit management and reporting. The proposed metadata enhancement suite would focus on requirements of several stakeholders in the Research Information Management (RIM) arena, who have firmly expressed their perceived need for metadata enhancement in current RIM systems (both Open Access repositories and CRIS).
