DeGóis Portuguese National Science and Technology Platform Eurocris Membership Meeting Lisbon 9-11 November 2005 Sérgio Tenreiro de Magalhães psmagalhaes@dsi.uminho.pt Luís Amaral amaral@dsi.uminho.pt University of Minho, Portugal
DeGóis Platform • DeGóis is a set of tools conceived to collect information on the intellectual production and professional activities of the portuguese research community. • The information is collected under the form of a Curriculum Vitae, being the responsibility of each researcher to keep the information of its own CV up to date. • DeGóis Online is the software that enables this work. • The platform will increase the amount and quality of the information collected from the community
Objectives and Purposes • Have a national Science and Technology (S&T) information system that can be used by governmental agency's for, e.g.: • Candidates evaluation for obtaining financial aids and scholarships • Choosing consultants or members of evaluation commissions • Projects evaluation • To participate in a Portuguese and Spanish official language international S&T network.
Objectives and Purposes • Give visibility to national R&D • Produce S&T indicators
SCienTI Network • The SCienTI intent is to contribute for S&T development of the participant countries by facilitating interchange mechanisms, complementary and socialization experiences, products, services and information systems in ST&I management support. • This network was designed in a space of convergence between different actors in knowledge management for science development and technological innovation, through which it can generate methodologies, tools, instruments and ST&I products.
DeGóis Curriculumvitae Model 4.4 Short term courses 4.6 V&A works 3.6 Teached short term courses 4.7 Sound moulding 3.14 Oral presentations
Curriculum DeGóis components • Personal data • Some personal information (sex, birthplace, country, etc.) • Professional activities • Past and present activities, including: • Research interests • Work in the institution • Teaching • Investigation not related with projects • Etc.
Curriculum components • Academic degrees • Period • Academic Degree • Scientific Domain • Institution/course • Supervisors • Etc. • Projects • Project identification • Coordinators • Institutional partners and supporters • Related production (supervision, articles, products, patents, etc) • Fields of Science (FOS/OCDE) • Socio-economical objectives • Keywords
Curriculum components • Scientifical production (books, articles, products, etc. ) • Work classified in more than 150 types and sub-types of scientifical production in three major types (bibliographic, technical and artistic) • Scientifical production identification • Authors • Language • Related institutions • Fields of Science (FOS/OCDE) • Socio-economical objectives • Keywords • Etc.
DeGóis Online • Is a web application that enables users to manage the information on is own CV. • The existing DeGóis Online is the first set of tools in development. • It supports: • CV management • Printing CV in different formats (PDF, rtf) • Error verification • Export/import CV on XML format
Technologies • Java • JSP (JavaServer Pages) – for some parts of the platform • Apache Tomcat: servlet container • Database: Oracle 9i • Dynamic HTML and JavaScript • Enables de application to run in most common browsers • XML, XSLT (Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformation)
Potentialities and future work • Make available the DeGóis online to the scientific community for CV updating. • Interoperability with the Scienti Network and other Science & Technology Networks • Linking with integral text repositories (e.g. DSpace) • Improve the S&T portal with advanced search mechanisms • Build new applications (projects, research groups)
Potentialities and future work • Build an institutional version of the platform to install in portuguese organizations. • The use of the CV system in FCT’s grants and projects applications. • The permanent use of information offered by the platform to support science and technology management. • Creation of advanced mechanisms for knowledge discovery.
