Showing it all - a new interface for finding all Norwegian research output

Abstract

CRIStin (Current Research Information System in Norway) is on the verge of implementing a SOLR based search engine, capable of indexing the entire national CRIS database as well as all the full text entries in NORA (Norwegian Open Research Archive). Perhaps the most useful feature of the search index, from a CRIS point of view, is as a tool for validating and improving data integrity. But in addition to this and the vastly increased speed, it will also provide the basis for a host of novel and exciting services like geographical mapping, timelines, RSS feeds and an externally available API.
