Let's do data research work: the creation of a portal with research information from Catalan Universities
1 like1,019 views
The document discusses plans to create a portal with research information from Catalan universities. It describes consolidating existing university repositories and services into a new consortium. The proposed Research Portal of Catalonia (PRC) would harvest and aggregate research output data from various university repositories and databases. Decisions made for the PRC include using ORCID identifiers, the DSpace+CINECA CRIS software, and the CERIF data exchange format. Current achievements include exporting sample data from universities and implementing ORCID in their systems. Future work includes fully implementing the PRC, designing interfaces, and developing mechanisms for ingesting and harmonizing data.

- 3. New merged consortium in 2014 for catalan universities with more services and projects • The current CBUC ones • The current CESCA ones • Join purchases (electricity, printing, cleaning, facilities, etc.) • Common data center • Portal for the research output (PRC) • Electronic administrative procedures. • Etc.

- 7. Situation in 2012 – CBUC promotes IR since 1999 – Some universities (UPC & UPF) already have research portals – There are new standards and protocols that help interoperability between IR and CRIS – Research output is becoming more important for the univeristy managers.
- 8. What • To create a portal to find the research outputs of the Catalan research system Why • To increase the visibility of the research done in Catalonia • To foster OA • To increase interoperability between data How • Taking advantage of the leverage work previously done – In IR, CRIS and statistical data (Uneix) • The central idea: the works done for the portal will improve local IR and CRIS • Following international best practices – Narcis / Holland; HKU Scholars Hub / Hong Kong Decision in 2012

- 10. ORCID as researcher identifier 1. Selection of identifier – Decision based in a CBUC report: Sistemes d’identificació unívoca d’investigadors / Àngel Borrego 2. Technical work – Modify all the local CRIS in order to allow to load the ORCID identifier – Promotion of ORCID id in other working groups: repositories, CCUC, Mendeley… 3. ORCID diffusion – We studied the ORCID API to create ORCID id automatically, but we decided not to use it – Merchandising, translations, videos, ‘good practices’ document ... – UB (the biggest university) have a mandate for an ORCID id in some process related with research assessment

- 12. Software • Based on DSpace‐CRIS of CINECA (like Hong Kong University) • Main challenges (to adapt/develop) – From one institution to multi‐institution – From submit contents to harvest from local CRIS instances – Massive import mechanisms are needed (XML‐CERIF….)

- 22. Main achievements • Good working team • People from ≠ universities and ≠ services • Agreement: to use ORCID for researchers • Already done – We succeed to export 20 complete data records from 11 universities (using 5 different CRIS) – All the CRIS systems already have a field for ORCID – A good program selected • Adopted by EUROCRIS as repository because CERIF compliance

Work to be done & challenges • Organizational • More meetings with expert group • ORCID ids implementation • MoU for personal data • External adaptation • Local CRIS system to adapt XML‐CERIF wrapping (export) • Portal implementation • Ingest the full data of all institutions • Design and build the user interfaces • Develop the CERIF‐XML import mechanisms • Think about depuration & deduplication data mechanisms
