FRIS • Virtual environment of research information • The programme that is being set up in order to create this research information space: • Accelerate the innovation value chain by efficient and fast access to research information for all relevant stakeholders • Offer improved customer services (e-government) • Increase efficiency and effectiveness of the R&D policy
Problem Repeatedly interpreting the meaning of different formats: • No reuse • No documentation • Trial & error • Repeating errors • No knowledge sharing
Problem Manually creating ad-hoc mappings between different formats • Inefficient • Not manageable • Not scalable • Increases legacy • High cost
Methodology Purpose Definition Scoping Conceptual level Knowledge extraction Verbalization Build logical model Logical & Physical level Resolve to CERIF
