PURE: Purdue University Research Expertise DatabaseStatus, Maintenance, Evolution Aditya P. Mathur Professor and Head, Department of Computer Science apm@cs.purdue.edu University Deans' Luncheon November 28, 2007 http://www.purdue.edu/pure
Status: Version 3.1 • New and easier to use interface [also better looking!] • New features: • Campus, college, and department management • Research center management [Discovery Park centers added. Thanks for Pankaj Sharma.] • Link to e-Scholars [Thanks to Purdue Libraries.] • Keyword management • Appointment management • Search improved
Maintenance [1] • As of today, PURE is outdated. • Maintenance Proposal: • Create a PURE Maintenance Committee [PMC]: • One representative each from: Graduate School, ITaP, Library, Sponsored Programs, Technology Transfer Office, VPR Office. • Chaired by a faculty representative. • University committee • Place PURE under VPR’s office
Maintenance [2] • Responsibilities of the PMC: • Oversee regular updates. Schedule PURE maintenance weeks starting first Monday of October and of March. • Seek input from faculty and administrators for new or improved features • Interact with other universities participating in the INDURE project. • Faculty responsibility: update related data (optional)
Maintenance [3] • Request to the Deans: • Please ask your department heads to contact me if they have any suggestions on improving PURE. • It seems better to update/upgrade PURE than to create a separate departmental or college database for faculty expertise.
Evolution to INDURE INDURE: INdiana Database for University Research Expertise IEDC considering a proposal to fund this project. A: Authenticated access F: Free access
