Visualization of NARCIS: a network of experts and knowledge organization in the Netherlands

Abstract

NARCIS is a well-known CERIF-based initiative of a model national CRIS where the outputs of the Dutch institutional CRIS and repository networks are aggregated for both universities and research organisations. On top of its datamodel covering researchers, organisations and projects, NARCIS has recently adopted the 'enhanced publications' approach for collecting additional files providing context to a paper (such as research data or others). This presentation focuses on the visualisation tools and strategies currently being applied to the information held in NARCIS in order to deliver innovative knowledge and collaboration maps for the research activity carried out in the country.
