DRIS/BP Task Group

Report, Madrid, 5-7.11.2012

Sergey Parinov, TG leader

Barbara Ebert, deputy TG leader

DRIS concept (in brief)

• DRIS has to be supportive for building a research DIS and to develop e-infrastructure, e.g. as Pan European (or wider) Research Portal

• Basic DRIS – proper visualization of CRISs characteristics with focus on CERIF based interoperability and interests of other TGs

• Extended DRIS – a unit of global research e-infrastructure (e.g. information hub) served to reuse CRIS artifacts outside parent systems

DRIS usefulness

• Visualization of CRISs landscape and potential benefits of interoperability among CRISs

• Registration of CRIS artifacts for its using outside parent systems

• CRIS artifact types: 1)content, 2)software (tools/services), 3)sem.linkages, 4)indicators, …

• DRIS new features: what CRISs have: – semantic linkages for the selected information object– specific indicators and/or services to produce

necessary indicator over selected information objects

TG’s main activities on 2013-2014(a proposal)

• Best Practice materials: – technical platform (a euroCRIS repository)– submission & selection policy– use cases and structure of catalogues

• DRIS: – a startup of the current DRIS application– use cases– extended DRIS as research e-infrastructure unit– requirements, a concept and technical platforms– funded projects, partner organizations and a

consortium

Topics of BP/DRIS TG meetingNovember 6th, 10:00 – 13:00

• 10:00 – 11:00 – Mission, work done to-date, discussion

• 11:00 – 12:00 (joint with CRIS-IR TG)– DRIS demonstration (about 30 minutes, Ed Simons)– Discussion: necessary improvements, when the

launch• 12:00 – 12:30 Breakout in small working groups

– Best Practice (materials and expertise, a repository, etc.)

– DRIS (how to make DRIS useful: extended DRIS, etc.)

• 12:30 – 13:00 Closing discussion– Priorities for a TG work program, Updated work

program

DRIS Use cases

• Basic DRIS – similar to IR lists, like ROAR, DOAR, etc. – to get a picture about CRISs landscape– to investigate a resource of possible CRIS

interoperability – to find out needed content, metadata, etc.

• Extended DRIS – – a list of CRIS artifacts (more details about CRIS)– a support of interoperability for CRIS2CRIS and

CRIS2Humans

Challenges of DRIS subTG

• A list of use cases for basic DRIS• Current basic DRIS application –

necessary improvements and proper startup

• Extended DRIS– new use cases, requirements, a concept– types of interoperability– a technical platform for experiments– a request to vendors for providing us tools

Storing semantic linkages for outsideusing of informationobjects

Storing necessary data (URL/protocols)for CRIS artifactsusing

Visualization of CRISslandscape and potentialbenefits of interoperability

What CRIS has for outside using: content,software, linkages, indicators

Challenges of BP subTG

• A technical platform to manage catalogues of different types of BP materials (a repository?)

• Submission & selection rules

• A structure of BP catalogues

• Use cases
