Research infrastructures: metadata model & data capturing in FRIS

Abstract

The presentation, jointly delivered by members of the Flemish Government Department of Economy, Science and Innovation and the ECOOM at Hasselt University, describes the ongoing process for the inclusion of data on research infrastructures into the regional Flanders Research Information Space (FRIS) regional CRIS. The scope of the initiative and the metadata model used to capture this additional piece of research information are outlined and some examples are shown. Future plans around this development involve offering a visualisation of what projects make use of the infrastructure and what publications are the result of data created via a certain piece of research equipment or facility.
