What is CERIF ?


– A Concept about Research Entities and their Relationships Specification (Conceptual Level)

– An abstract formal description of the concept about entities and their relationships Model (Logical Level)

– A formal machine readable description of the concept Database Scripts (Physical Level)

SQL Script-----------------------CREATE Table PersonCREATE Table ProjectCREATE Table OrgUnit

Organisation of Data / Information accordingly !!

What is CERIF ?


– data model (conceptual, logical, physical)

– allows for a (metadata) representation of – research entities – their activities / interconnections (research)– their output (results)

– allows for high flexibility with formal semantic relationships

enables quality maintenance, archiving, access and interchange of research information

supports knowledge transfer to decision makers, for research evaluation, research managers, strategists, researchers, editors, the general public

What is CERIF ?


CERIF is an EU Recommendation to Member States

http://cordis.europa.eu/cerif/

The European Commission (EC) has authorised euroCRIS to maintain and develop CERIF and its usage

Allows to capture any Schema or Structure• Flat Lists• Taxonomies• Ontologies

Open / Extensible in all directions• New Schemas• New Concepts / Terms• New Relationships

Enables to manage• Roles / Types Semantics• Subject Headings • Archiving (Time component)

Allows for simple Mappings between Schemas (Interchange)

Allows for an efficient (independent) Maintenance

Discussion

• Which entities define the range of the repository (IR) world ? – Person– Project– Organisation– Publication

• Are additional CERIF entities required in the repository world ?– Teaching ?– Software, Resources, Media?

• Are additional CERIF attributes required?– firstname, nickname, … ?

• What are essential relationships in the repository World?– Author, Editor, Reviewer, Metrics ?
