Developing a model approach for community led CRIS aggregations

Abstract

This abstract is intended to provide information on how we have developed an easily deployed and scalable CRIS aggregation service intended to provide value-added services for research communities, based on research information sourced via CRIS systems and/or repositories used by participating institutions. The goal was to build a common, inter-institutional information source based on the Pure data model. The proposed presentation will describe the technical approach taken and outline some core challenges encountered. The paper and presentation will also invite discussion around future opportunities made possible because of the new aggregation service.
