Some Key Recommendations for the management level

Eurocris Spring Meeting 11.-12.5.2015 Eurocris Spring Meeting 11.-12.5.2015 13

• Accept CRIS as basic element in your IT environment and develop it accordingly

• Look beyond immediate local needs and help to reduce barriers between systems by using standards

• Support the mobility of researcher portfolios• Agree on a set of basic requirements and help to develop

standards in Germany Use the new research core dataset as common vocabulary Recognise CERIF when developing internal data models and

definitions Provide Linked Open Data to support semantic web applications ….

Ideas for future activities

• Modular CRIS systems• Exploit research core data set as a common

vocabulary– Mobile researcher portfolios– Data exchange via CERIF xml
