CRIS and repositories: NARCIS Elly Dijk KNAW Research Information EuroCRIS meeting, Moscow (Rusland), 9 October 2008

Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences Academy'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

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  Repositories Full-text publications E-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 Metis (university) eDepot (KB) repositories NARCIS (KNAW) NOD (KNAW) F-system (university) P-system (university) Research Council NWO E-data Research institutes

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 issues Willingness 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!

Thank you for listening
