CRIS and repositories: NARCIS

KNAW Research InformationEuroCRIS meeting, Moscow (Rusland), 9 October 2008

Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and SciencesAcademy's mission: To ensure the quality of

scientific research in the Netherlands

to promote the open accessibility of scientific information

Mission of my Department: national focal point of

research information

WWW.NARCIS.INFO

National Academic Research and Collaborations Information

System

Outline Academic Information Domain - AID

Situation in the Netherlands: CRIS, OAR and e-Data

Dutch scientific portal NARCIS

Digital Author Identifier – DAI

Joining CRIS, OAR and e-data: problems

The future

Conclusions

Academic Information Domain:CRIS and repositories

CRIS: Research Descriptions, Researchers, Institutions

RepositoriesFull-text publicationsE-Research: datasets

Schema of the Academic Information Domain

Academic Information Domain

Personnel Information Domain

Financial Information Domain

Repositories

CRIS-CERIF

E-Research

H.R. Finan.

Based on:

Current Research Information System

Every university and the Academy has it’s own CRIS: Metis

Content: Researchers: expertise, research data and workplaces

Research Institutions: Profiles and Addresses

Research Programmes and Projects

Bibliographical information on research results, like articles

CRIS

Open Access Repositories

National DARE programme – Digital Academic Repositories

Better access to the results of publicly funded research in the Netherlands

By development of institutional repositories: universities, Academy, National Research Council, smaller research institutes

Coordinated by SURFFoundation

Repositories

E-data The universities don’t have e-research repositories

Researchers don’t take good care of their research data Keep information in their computer Don’t take care of long-term preservation Don’t like to share their data

But we do have E-DATA Institute DANS -Data Archiving and Networked Services

E-research

DANS Data Archiving and Networked Services

EASY – Electronic Archiving System

Data themselves available under the conditions specified by the depositor

Humanities and Social Sciences

E-research

Dutch Academic Information Domain

Ideal situation

NARCIS (Daffodil): Dutch Scientific Portal

Components of NARCIS Dutch Research Database – NOD: 14 academic

CRISs and other research institutes

Central Access Point to 21 Open Access Repositories - OARs

Subsections: Cream of Science and Promise of Science

E-DATA: DANS developed OAI interface on EASY – Electronic Archiving System

Based on: SURFFoundation

Joining the three components

Digital Author Identifier - DAI Needed: link between Author and DAI

Enables integration of systems

Avoids name ambiguity and variants

Implementation of DAI Dublin Core not sufficient

Introduction of (stripped) MODS in DIDL Co-operation of all Dutch universities, KNAW and

NWO

National database hosted by OCLC

40,000 unique author names with DAI’s

DAI in action

Content of NARCIS

OARs : Over 160,000 full-text publications (of which 20,000 doctoral e-theses)

DANS: More than 2,000 datasets Dutch Research Database:

Expert database: 10,000 researchers Portal of Professors and associate professors: 7,500 names About 36,000 names of researchers Project descriptions of current (20,000 records) and

completed research projects (22,000 records) About 3,200 records of university or non-university

research institutes

Joining CRIS, OAR and e-data: problems

Technical barriers are not the main point

Organizational issuesWillingness To assign DAI’s To fill the CRISs, OARs en E-research repositories To introduce new exchange formats like (stripped) MODS

The Future Publication lists: harvesting of the “bibliographic

only records”

DAI makes it possible to develop tag clouds

Enhanced publications for the international DRIVER project -Digital Repository Infrastructure Vision for European Research

Metadata store (NARCIS becomes a National Repository)

Conclusions

It is possible to create a Dutch Academic Information Domain even when the systems are not connected

To create a Dutch AID the greatest challenges are organizational

Need for integration on some level: Digital Author Identifier

But live would be much easier with well connected and filled systems, based on CERIF!
