As part of the EuroCRIS 2012 conference in Prague, taking place in June, the IRIOS-2 project has had a poster accepted and submitted.
below is the poster that will be at the conference.
The two projects IRIOS-2 and CiA provided progress updates at the JISC hosted RIM3 Programme meeting. See below for a link to the IRIOS-2 presentation given by Simon Kerridge and Kevin Ginty. There were also presentations from RMAS, OSSWatch and JISC InfoKit.
Overall, the event was excellent and the projects have agreed a number of joint initiatives, including working with RMAS and potentially CASRAI.
Keep following the blog for updates on the projects progress.
Presentation: IRIOS-2 Overview
the poster for the IRIOS-2 project has now been completed.
Kevin Kiely, TCD
CERIFy
TCD RIS and TR incites, data exchange, two way
InCites uses separate fields for year, month, day
Brigitte did a mapping from InCites to CERIF
Ids are an issues again.. How should they be dealt with
they have a long list of supported publication types
Plenty of actual CERIF XML examples
In summary the system
passes CERIF XML data from the TCD CRIS to TR, they matched data and then returned TR metrics from InCites in CERIF XML back to the TCD CRIS. NB it was citation counts rather than a whole list of citations… But still useful!
Jason Young from TR also chipped in to the presentation and Q&A
Thomas Vestdam, Atira
CERIF XML fragmentation
Looking to have everything in one schema, if possible… To aid efficiency
Eg embed everything in cfOrgUnit that relates to it, including the link info.
Saw an example (in word wrangler)
So link entities can be in either end object, or just in the document
Helps with OAI with the web services due to efficiencies.
The new formatting can be used soon… For internal testing in the next few weeks.
Would hope it to be offered in CERIF 2.0
2.0 will be available early next year.
Atira will be testing the speed up during next year with the Flanders system, and also in the CIA project.
Now listening to Robert Sanderson Ron NERC talking about how they converted RCUK SSC project data into CERIF for the IRIOS project.
They used Funding, electronicaddress, postaladdress, country, organisationunit, person, and of course project. There are some interesting issues with using uuids. Hopefully these will be addressed in the planned discussions on identifiers later today
I am in the CIA workshop meeting that Anna Clements has organised as part of the “Sunderland CERIF Week”. We have people from Sunderland, St Andrews, euroCRIS, TCD, Thomson Reuters, Symplectic and SONEX here in the room… And also via webex we have NERC, Atira, Exeter and UKOLN…
So far we have had short presentations from CRISPool and IRIOS… With more to come. it is extremely interesting to see how people have used CERIF and what they have learned about what to do… And what not to do… Great input from euroCRIS here… “did you know that you could do it like this…” sort of thing
During 2011, the CERIF TG has had an intensive work schedule and has met several times. In the UK there are a lot of CERIF-CRIS implementations and a plethora of JISC-funded projects (such as IRIOS, IRIOS-2, C4D, RMAS, CIA) in which CERIF plays a central part.
The stakeholders wish to unite the UK community and the need is felt for more information and in-depth discussion on CERIF-CRIS, a tutorial and a ‘surgery’ session. Moreover, CERIF has intersections with other TGs, particularly CRIS-IR, CRIS Architecture & Development and the new Linked Open Data TG, but never had joint meetings. Therefore it has been decided to match both needs and take this opportunity to bring the UK community and euroCRIS expert members together.
The meetings will be held on the 9th and 10th of February 2012. UKOLN is willing to host the event and will work jointly with the euroCRIS Secretariat, in consultation with the TG leaders, to make arrangements. Details have still to be elaborated, but the ideas are:
- Thursday 9th of February: Introduction to CRIS, CERIF tutorial, surgery section (UK community + CERIF experts)
- Friday 10th of February: 3 parallel sessions (6 TGs), half a day each
The bulk of this message is reproduced from an e-notification from EuroCRIS.
euroCRIS have released details of their 2012 Conference to be held 6-9 June, Prague, Czech Republic. The call for papers has been launched and IRIOS-2 will submit an abstract for the deadline of 10th December 2011.
The conference of next year is the eleventh event in the euroCRIS series of biennial conferences dedicated to improve the availability of research information across Europe. The target audience includes managers of research performing or funding institutions, evaluators,librarians, ICT experts, as well as policy makers. CRIS 2012 is organized by euroCRIS and InfoScience Praha, under the patronage of the Research and Development and Innovation Council of the Czech Republic, headed by the Prime Minister of the Czech Republic.
The theme of the Conference is: “e-Infrastructures for Research and Innovation – LinkingInformation Systems to Improve Scientific Knowledge Production”. The Conference willdiscuss recent trends in the development of Current Research Information Systems (CRIS) in the context of virtual research environments and the construction of powerful infrastructures for e-Science. Three programme tracks have been defined, viz. Research Information Management, Advances in Technology, and Future Trends in Research Information Management. Tracks consist of keynotes by prominent stakeholders and contributed talks selected by the Programme Committee from submitted papers. Connected to the Conference will be an Exhibition and Business session as well as Workshops and Tutorials.
