  5. What is CERIF ? Common European Research Information Format • Conceptual Level (Specification) A concept about research entitiesand their relationships • Logical Level (Conceptual Model)A formal abstract description of the research entities and their relationships according to the concept • Physical Level (Database Scripts)A formal machine readable description of the entities and their relationships according to the concept • Semantic Layer (current Formal Semantics)A formalized controlled vocabulary describing ageneral contextual semantics of the research domain is author of is author (numbered) of is publisher of is author (percentage) of Person_Publication Scheme is subject of is editor (numbered) of SQL Script ----------------------- CREATE Table Person CREATE Table Project CREATE Table OrgUnit is editor of is translator of is reviewer of

  9. CERIF 2008 – 1.2 Upgrades • Pending Entities have been discussed with the following results: No cfCall and no cfGrant entity and related entities will be added. Instead, the Funding entity will be renamed and via the cfClass pluscfClassScheme entities, a typification for FundingProgramme, Call, Tender, etc. can be realized. • Deletion of Entities in the Context of Funding: cfCall (so far pending, now removed)cfCall_FundingProgramme (so far pending, now removed)cfCallDescription (so far pending, now removed)cfCallKeywords (so far pending, now removed)cfCallName (so far pending, now removed)cfGrant (so far pending, now removed)cfGrant_FundingProgramme (so far pending, now removed)cfGrantDescription (so far pending, now removed)cfGrantKeywords (so far pending, now removed)cfGrantName (so far pending, now removed)

  10. CERIF 2008 – 1.2 Upgrades • Renaming of Funding Programme entity and its related entities: cfFundingProgramme -> cfFundingcfFundingProgramme_Classification -> cfFunding_ClassificationcfFundingProgramme_FundingProgramme -> cfFunding_FundingcfFundingProgrammeDescription -> cfFundingDescriptioncfFundingProgrammeKeywords -> cfFundingKeywordscfFundingProgrammeName -> cfFundingNamecfFundingProgramme_Equipment -> cfFunding_EquipmentcfEvent_FundingProgramme -> cfEvent_FundingcfFacility_FundingProgramme -> cfFacility_FundingcfService_FundingProgramme -> cfService_FundingcfOrganisationUnit_FundingProgramme -> cfOrganisationUnit_FundingcfPerson_FundingProgramme -> cfPerson_FundingcfProject_FundingProgramme -> cfProject_FundingcfResultPatent_FundingProgramme -> cfPatent_FundingcfResultProduct_FundingProgramme -> cfProduct_FundingcfResultPublication_FundingProgramme -> cfResultPublication_Funding

  11. CERIF 2008 – 1.2 Upgrades • Renaming of Attributes: cfSex -> cfGendercfFundProgId -> cfFundIdcfFundProgId -> cfFundId cfFundProgId1 -> cfFundId1 cfFundProgId2 -> cfFundId2 • Renaming of Relationships: "(...)FProg" -> "(...)Fund" // for all • CERIF Semantics (not physically a part of the model): The terms for relationships between CORE CERIF entities have been collected and definitions provided for a better understanding • The CERIF 2008 - 1.2 release is the last version in the 2008 series.

  15. Situation in UK (by Keith Jeffery) • Research Councils • ROP: Research outcomes project • HEFCE • REF: Research Excellence Framework • JISC • Commissioned study (EXRI): recommended CERIF • Convened experts from stakeholders: accepted • Supporting several projects to demonstrate: • Business case for using CERIF • Feasibility of interoperation universities-universities and universities-funders using CERIF

  16. Situation elsewhere Norway: CRISTIN Belgium: FRIS Denmark: PURE Sweden: Converis Netherlands: METIS, NARCIS euroHORCS recommended convergence to CERIF ESF specified CERIF for new system Plans in Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Greece, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Russia, Austria, Slovenia ERC: tender for a CERIF-based System EC: intension to move to a CERIF-based system OpenAIRE: declared to move to CERIF interest expressed by VOA3R project emerging market of commercial solutions
