What is a Research Information System?
Ref: KG Jeffery 2008 History of CRIS http://www.eurocris.org/Uploads/Web%20pages/historyCRIS/3HistoryofCRIS.ppt See also: Nick Sheppard. "Learning How to Play Nicely: Repositories and CRIS". July 2010, Ariadne Issue 64 http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/issue64/wrn-repos-2010-05-rpt/
What do we want ?
• The dream: single, user-curated, consistent and up to date source that knows everything about someone
• Many aiming at being the one
The Dutch situation – many playersMetis is very detailed, fed by admin (universities, KNAW)but has a limited on-line interface.
CWTS is the ‘Scientific Observatory’ in NL forResearch Evaluation; but the databases are not public.
NARCIS is the main national portal for those looking for information about researchers and their work.

Why is information lost ?
• Incentiveso Keeping one data source up to date is costlyo Keeping several is even more so!
• Standards o Information that can not be expressed is lost
• Confusiono Re-invent the well & (partially) duplicate

Overview
Conceptual model of the core ontology
Core vocabulary as ‘middle-ware’
NL
US
The core vocabulary proposal crosses the usual multi-purposeontologies at different scales of scope. It has one purpose (the presentation of a researchers career). It does not translate 1:1;but defines shells of meaning (facets).Up-scaled (higher scope) it losses expressivity; down-scaled it gains expressivity in turn for lesser interoperability of the fine-grained information.

•Our proposal
•Outlook
Just another ontology?
There is no escape of machine-readable information exchange and processing.
There is a limit at user-provided content.
There are institutional and national interests.
There is a tension of locally cared information and the globalization of science.
Might not be ‘our’ system, but a system will come! Discourse about this is needed!
