Пора переименовать блог, присвоив название связанное с доменами может хватит про них?

Thanks Martin- now that you’ve mentioned CONVERIS, I’ve noticed it mentioned in some of the CRIS literature! Will look into it! Feel free to send a link.

Interesting article. The interest in CRIS systems is obviously gaining priority among many UK HEIs. During the latest months we have been contacted by a hand full of UK universities looking for suitable systems to support them primarily for the REF. However, we have obviously not made enough marketing in the UK as our system, CONVERIS, is not mentioned in the article.

CONVERIS is a standard and CERIF compliant end-to-end Research Information System. It is primarily used for publication management & bibliometrics, contract administration & grant reporting, and as a complete CRIS for the management also of many other types of research information. As the REF obviously is an important driver for many UK universities, we are also closely following what HEFCE is doing and offer a guarantee that CONVERIS will comply with the (still partly unknown) requirements for the REF.

As a direct comment to how “this is done abroad”, it could be of interest to have a look at Sweden, where we currently implement a national Research Information System. This is a step beyond the institutional level with the purpose to make the collection and data quality assurance more efficient through collaborative means. If it would be of interest to find out more, just post a comment and I can add some further details (if Kara permits).

Hi John,
Yes, we just had DSpace for our pilot repository. The hosted solution seemed very economical, and although the technical support in-house here works well in java (partly behind our initial use of DSpace), we did not have strong local perl expertise to draw on. We got to a point where it was getting difficult to move our DSpace install along so we looked at our options. We did a comparison between continuing with an in-house solution versus a hosted solution, then compared hosted solutions and Eprints came out very well.

Hi,

I was wondering why the decision was made to move to a hosted solution? Did you have just DSpace previously?

The technical work was done by either Eprints or our Web Services team. I don’t think the actual process of export was difficult, just packaging up the xml (and then finding my metadata weak spots from DSpace). The handle situation was a bit tricker but achievable.
