    The Flemish Research Discipline Standard: Review & update procedure.
    (euroCRIS, 2022-12-02)
    ;
    ;
    ;
    This contribution describes the review and update process of the Flemish Research Discipline Standard (FRDS), a regional classification for research disciplines in Flanders, and will discuss the limitations of the current approach while introducing a new framework.

    Flanders Research Information Space: an indispensable regional CRIS system to efficiently monitor progress in open science
    (euroCRIS, 2022-05-13)
    ;
    ;
    In 2019, the Flemish government launched an ambitious Open Science policy outlining five key perfomance indicators to measure progress towards open science. It was decided to monitor these KPIs via Flanders Research Information Space (FRIS), the research portal of the Flemish government (www.researchportal.be).The FRIS portal operates with a knowledge model in which data objects related to research output (researchers, projects, publications etc.) are interlinked and described by metadata standards. These semantically defined metadata standards are developed and implemented in mutual agreement. The research performing and funding institutions deliver metadata on research information (persons, organizations, projects, publications, etc.) in real-time directly to FRIS via CERIF-XML (Common European Research Information Format) via their institutional repositories. This allows to link and enrich information about research data with other research outputs. This is unique in Europe and makes FRIS eminently suitable to use reliable metrics in order to monitor the Open Science indicators.

    A list of recommendations to improve the workflow of dataset metadata in the Flemish research landscape
    (euroCRIS, 2024-05-15)

    Flemish research performing institutions are obligated by the Flemish government to provide descriptive metadata on research entities (researchers, organisations, projects, publications, datasets, infrastructure, and patents) to Flanders Research Information Space (FRIS), the research portal of the Flemish government. FRIS is a Current Research Information System (CRIS) that collects and showcases information on publicly funded research carried out by Flemish research institutions. As a business information tool, FRIS reports research and development (R&D) and innovation indicators to the Flemish government and is used to monitor the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) resulting from the Flemish Open Science Policy. FRIS also serves as a discovery hub connecting with the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) through OpenAIRE. As part of the Open Science policy in Flanders, knowledge institutions have agreed to mandatorily register metadata of datasets that underlie publicly funded, peer-reviewed scientific articles and submit them to FRIS, commencing in 2019. To facilitate this process, the Flemish Open Science Board’s (FOSB) working group Metadata & Standardization, chaired by ECOOM-UHasselt, developed an application profile specifically for dataset metadata in 2020. The FOSB Application profile is built upon the DataCite model but has been expanded in order to effectively monitor the metrics of Open Science. The FOSB Application profile for dataset metadata ensures that the right information is available in FRIS to calculate the Open Data KPI. The Open Data KPI requires that, from 2019 onwards, datasets underlying peer-reviewed, Flemish-funded scientific publications should be openly accessible as far as possible (excluding legitimate opt-outs). Hence, the dataset metadata application profile facilitates the assessment of the proportion of ‘open’ datasets in terms of access level and data usage licenses.
