Creating an Academic Information Domain: a Dutch Example Chris Baars EuroCRIS 2008 – June 5- 7th Maribor
WWW.NARCIS.INFO National Academic Research and Collaborations Information System
Outline • AID: Three different worlds:CRIS, OAR & E-data • Joining three worlds in NARCIS • Digital Author Identifier (DAI) • Persistent Identifiers (PI) • Conclusions and further development
Personnel Information Domain Financial Information Domain H.R. Finan. CRIS Academic Information Domain Repositories E-Research Academic Information Domain Based on:
Component I: Dutch CRIS • 14 CRIS’s participate in NOD, Dutch Research Database • Researchers (expertise, research data and workplaces) • Research Institutions and Research Schools (Profiles and Addresses) • Current Research Programmes and Research Projects
Component II: OAR • Central Access Point to the Dutch Institutional Repositories of Open Access publications (21 OARs) • Dutch Academic Output that is available Open Access • Subsections: Cream of Science and Promise of Science
Component III: E-DATA • E-DATA Institute DANS (Data Archiving and Networked Services) • Developed OAI interface on EASY – Electronic Archiving System • Data themselves available under the conditions specified by the depositor • Humanities and Social Sciences
Joining the three worlds: problems Organizational issues • Willingness, commitment and participation • Infrastructure: Benefit DARE-program (SurfFoundation) Technical issues • Interoperability: OAI - PMH protocol • Exchange formats: DC & DIDL / MODS for OAR’s CERIF based XML for CRIS
Digital Glue • DigitalAuthorIdentifier (DAI) • Persistent Identifiers (PI) • Interlinking • Extra metadata elements
Persistent Identifiers (PI) • Unlike URL’s, PI’s do not change in time • Target URL should be resolvable • National resolver functionality
Conclusions and Future Developments • To create an AID the greatest challenges are organizational • Need for integration on some level (DAI) • Persistent Identifiers are necessary for sustainability and guaranteed access to the right information. • Enhanced publications • Validation tool • Metadata store (NARCIS becomes a National Repository)
