    Piloting the use of RAiD in research.fi

    Research.fi is a national service for collecting, integrating and disseminating information on research conducted in Finland. Research.fi takes over the content of a legacy repository on research projects from 'Projectnet'. Projectnet was a service that collected information about research projects focusing on natural resources from six Finnish research organizations. Research.fi will pilot the Research Activity identifier (RAiD) as part of an EU-funded project FAIRCORE4EOSC. RAiD provides persistent, unique and resolvable information for research projects. The aim of piloting RAiD is first of all to gain insights on how this type of identifier could work in the context of Research.fi. Some of the main challenges in adopting RAiD on a national level will be charted, and at the same time possible process improvements to make it more palatable to local stakeholders will be considered. Using legacy data that has originally been harvested to cater the needs of a different service in piloting RAiD does cause some challenges. To ensure optimal resolution of challenges faced, the Research.fi works in collaboration with the RAiD registration authority, ARDC, and the in-progress RAiD Registration Agency for Europe at SURF. The team doing the work described in the paper is confident that sharing the challenges they face as well as the solutions they find are of interest to the wider CRIS community.

    Piloting the use of PIDGRAPH data in research.fi

    Research.fi is a national service for collecting, integrating and disseminating information on research conducted in Finland. This includes information on publications and related research outputs (including in the arts), datasets, funding decisions and research infrastructures. It is clear, however, that the coverage of information on the connection between these objects, such as publication – dataset references, has serious shortcomings. The PIDGraph is a collection of metadata about research objects, authors, publishers, institutions, and other research related items, all identified by persistent identifiers, and a series of systems to expose that metadata and make it available for analysis and integration with other systems. In order to harvest information on the connections between publications and datasets available in Research.fi, we have been looking into the PIDGraph, first to find out the coverage of PIDGraph in regard to the content of Research.fi and secondly to see if it is possible to enrich research.fi with the information gained from PIDGraph. We aim at being able to link Research.fi publications to datasets and vice versa, publications to publications, and datasets to datasets. The testing of the PIDGraph is still a work in progress, but the authors consider that sharing the exercise of ingesting research object relationship data is of high relevance to the CRIS community. We also aim to present the applicability of lessons learned for other potential adopters of the PIDGraph.
