/ ResearcherPages

/ Projects

/ OrgUnits

/ 2nd Level Dynamic Objects

DEFINE ANY ASPECTS

Main DSpace-CRIS Entities

– a single entity specialized by a profile (type) ie Journal, Prize, Event, etc.;– Every profile has it own set of properties and nested objects

independently defined

– managing people;– structural relations with System Users and pre-

configured properties to manage the name variants;– This is the only entity that can be managed out-of-box

by non-system administrators

– defined as separated entities;– Easy to develop future extensions, specializations,

specific workflows and editing rules

ResearcherPages

Projects and OrgUnits

Second level Dynamic Objects

Defining a DSpace-CRIS Entity

• UUID• Public flag• Dynamic Properties: every property belongs to a

PropertyDefinition• System administrator can decide:

– Repeatable– Mandatory– Storage data type: String, int, double, date, html link, link to

other entities– Start / End date– Scope: link to a Semantic/Classification Object (itself a

DynamicObject)

• Nested object: Repeatable, mandatory, list of properties

A note about the DSpace Metadata model

DSpace is known to support out-of-box, the Dublin Core Initiative

Work has been done to update from the LoC profile to a dcterms schema

DSpace metadata model is not bound to DC / DC qualified or any other schema

DSpace metadata: a different point of view

– When allowed by the configuration any metadata can hold a reference to other object (authority)

.. the technical agnostic one…

– Any metadata is characterized by a schema, element and qualifier but…

schema = bibliographic information, administrative metadata, etc.;element = relation with people;qualifier = the type of relationship (author, editor, etc.)

– Which metadata are possible, which repeatable and which mandatory is defined by configuration

CRIS entities management

• Dedicated administrative UI for data model definition

• Detail page for any entity organized in Tab and Box themed with JQuery UI

• Faceted Searches & Customizable Browse indexes

• Network visualizations and analysis

Advantages for an Institutional Repository

• CRIS entities as authority for Item metadata values

• DSpace Items can be linked and displayed in the detail page of any CRIS entity

• Ability to display selected publications (or any other related entity) in the researcher profile

• Produce a list of selected publications (or any other related entity

– Page vists, CRIS entity detail page– Global & Top related CERIF Entity views & downloads referencing the

CRIS entity (ie, top projects for each researcher, top researcher for each OrgUnit, etc.)

– Global & Top publication item views & downloads referencing the CRIS entity

– email and RSS alerts

Advantages for an Institutional Repository

• Usage Statistics

• Article level metrics for PubMed (extensible)– Cited-by count in the item page– Number of articles for researcher– Total citations for each researcher (only items in

local DSpace database will be counted)

New features_1

Two new standard home page components:– Big infographics summarizing the CRIS

dimensions– Global search (inspired from Narcis.nl)

google like with clustering and highlighting

The new features

Improved submission & ORCID integration– Creation on-the-fly, of related objects

www.cineca.it | IRIS & DSpace-CRIS Updates | May, 2015 | euroCRIS Membership Meeting

23

The new features

Ability to create text fields that are resolved automatically as a hyperlink (i.e. ORCID, ResearcherID, etc.)

24 24

Data load

• We are implementing a generic tool to load, update and delete data in DSpace-CRIS, using spreedsheets

• This tool has been used to load data in the euroCRIS repository1. Using ORCID API, 2. grabbed ORCID record metadata, 3. updated Researcher Page

26

DSpace-CRIS & ORCID: next steps

– Research’s bibliographic data(including the possibility to activate synchronisation for

single field)

– Publications(with the possibility to chose the publications to sync)

– Projects(with the possibility to chose which projects to sync)

PUSH local information to

ORCID

PULL extended information from

ORCID

Ask user to import records retrieved from her ORCID profile into DSpace-CRIS

OrAutomatically (if notification and preferences allowed in DSpace-CRIS) when ORCID premium membership is available

Next milestones

• This month (June 2015): PUSH services to ORCID, Researcher Page ORCID record– Local identifier– Biographic information– Publications– Projects

• September 2015: PULL services from ORCID– Capture publications & projects– Retrieve biographic information

• Data model manipulation• Linkage between CRIS Entities• Linkage between Items and CRIS

Entities• ORCID integration• Components– To show reverse link in the target entity– For statistics

• Network visualization
