Linked Open Data for Current Research Information Systems (CRIS)

Abstract

At the University of Bamberg a Research Information System (FIS) on the basis of the open-source software DSpace-CRIS has recently been introduced, https://fis.uni-bamberg.de. To increase the visibility of the research results, we aim at providing the RDF-Triple through a full-fledged SPARQL-Endpoint. After evaluating different approaches, we decided to develop a stand-alone DSpace-CRIS module based on the existing DSpace module for Linked Open Data. In addition to publications, this can also present CRIS entities such as awards, researcher profiles or projects and their relationships.
