Key Objectives for the Future

• Standards: to have the CERIF family of standards (including conversion to XML and LOD) recognised widely.

• Services: developing concrete services to the member community (DRIS, Reference implementation, CERIF-compatibility testing, CERIF-tutorials).

• Business orientation: focus on domain-related (content) issues in addition to technical issues (e.g. the “semantics” of CERIF-CRIS, but also: possible services for various user groups/ stakeholders of CRIS).

• Communication: clearly formulate and broadcast our mission and goals to our members and strategic partners; re-organizing/designing our on line presence (web site, blogs, social media).

• Governance: to be recognized worldwide as the curator of CERIF and related semantic resources, governance of the associated authority lists.

• Relation management: to strengthen and increase strategic partnerships with a clearly agreed joint set of actions.

• Cooperation: to cooperate with relevant other communities in the research information domain (the semantic web community, the repository community …) (mentioning the Rome Declaration, OpenAire agreement).

• Expertise building and exchange: to improve the skill and expertise level of all the members of the community through meetings and conferences.

Short term operational targets

• Services:• Further extension of DRIS.• Development of Reference CERIF-CRIS implementation under eurocris.org.• Development of CERIF-compatibility Testing application (for CRIS developers), based

on the Reference CRIS.

• Standards: • Promotion / acceptance of CERIF-XML as the international interoperability standard. • Complete the CERIF-VIVO mapping.

• Business orientation: • Further developing/formulating the semantics in the CERIF-model (in cooperation with

CASRAI) • Inventory/formulation of Best Practices in use/implementation of CRIS for/by various

user groups.

• Communication:• Re-design and revision of functionality of Website

Short term operational targets

• Governance:• Implement a model/procedure for CERIF authority list management under eurocris.org.

• Relation management:• Enhance the (number of) communication with strategic partners.• Start the definition of a joint set of actions with the strategic partners.

• Cooperation:• Operationalize the cooperation with VIVO and LATTES (Brasil).• Further extend/strengthen the cooperation with the Repository Community. • Participation in (funded) projects.

• Expertise building and exchange:• Preparation of the euroCRIS 2014 Conference in Rome on “Data Intensive Science”.

Summary Strategic Seminar„Metadata in Research Information Systems“Key Outcome:

Still need more interoperability

Take care of business requirements from the very beginning
