Data and Classification Governance: Key to Semantic Interoperability of CRIS Systems in Inter-Organizational Contexts

This research delves into the importance of data and classification governance in achieving true semantic interoperability of CRIS systems in inter-organizational contexts. It explores the benefits and challenges of semantic interoperability and presents a case study on implementing classification governance to enhance financial code management. The study highlights the need for a governance structure and collaborative semantics management to ensure efficient and effective sharing of research information.

  4. CERIF 1.6 • Almostunlimited flexibility formodelling RI • Base, result, infrastructureand 2nd level entities: 293 • Attributesfor metadata andmultilinguality: 1814 • Time-stamped / classification-referenced relations: 665

  5. Caveats • Semantic mismatches • Terminology: sameconcepts, differents meaningsandvice versa  at theinter- andintra-organizationallevel FWO Undefined OR FWO Scientific Research Network OR FWO Postdoctoral fellowship OR / Sabbatical Leave Grant

  6. CRIS needs & drivers • Correct, actual, complete research information • Maximum reuseof research information • Byconnecting data silo’s • Reducing system costs • CRIS services & applications • Administrativereduction or research reporting • Increasedstrategic intelligence • Efficient & effective policy monitoring • More information services TRUE Semanticinteroperability is a MUST

  10. 2. Involvement / creation of a business layer • Semantics (not) (yet) in place

  11. 3. Inter-organizationalsemanticalignment • Definition of required business concepts on the meta-level • Collaborative, machine-readable manner • Full-cyclebusiness semanticsmanagement

  12. Classificationgovernancefor financial codes • Research funding: • given to persons, projects, consortia,… • obtained via many funding sources • organisations, programs, grants • identified by financial codes classification • without classification governance: • semantic mismatches • terminology and meaning • decentral maintenance of code lists FRIS-portal Project database

  13. Extract Generation 1 financial code list

  14. Implementation of classificationgovernance • Revisitingthe financial information model & code list • No hierarchy, autonumbering • More granularity, in line withreportingobligations • Governance tool • Roles & responsibilities • Central maintenance of code lists in DGC, incl. allowedvalue • Semanticsandexamples • Workflowsforcreating/editing existing codes • Full view on remarks & comments • Concordancetables • Automated, collaborative & machine-readable
