Münster Interest Group meeting on the updated DRIS

Abstract

Following the tradition to provide an update on the growth and next steps for the euroCRIS Directory of Research Information Systems (DIS) before every membership meeting takes place, the presentation summarises the current status of the directory as of Nov 2019. There is a steep growth in the number of entries and an ever more comprehensive geographic coverage, even if the DRIS is still a work-in-progress initiative. Plans are laid out for the forthcoming development of an API that will allow the remote retrieval of the information kept in the records.
