Web Issues & Action Items
The “CRIS Portal” (Design & Implementation)euroCRIS Information System (The euroCRIS Web Database a
la Niek)This is the “links” section, and includes many components:
Membership (Expertise) Database designBlog & NewsletterBest Practices Database Design
This implementation must be developed according to the agreed upon format as represented in the ppt.
This system is almost ready for testing. It is critical that ALL CERIF implementations and
initiatives be entered immediately. This section should then be referenced from the CERIF page as a query to the database.
Web Issues & Action Items
The “portal” concept as appears in the ppt must be developed within the database (links) concept. The types of information resources must be incorporated into the euroCRIS taxonomy / descriptors.
Digital LibraryThis currently appears as links and as reference
material. The Reference material section should be moved into the database and appear as the CRIS Related Digital Library
CRIS Conference Papers must be referenced under the publication section
Web Issues & Action Items
Contacts Database (I.e. past conference participants, ECN subscribers, CRIS2006 Alerts, etc…)
