Description of the topic: The grantee of this STSM will contribute to both technical and contextual development of VIRTA-ENRESSH data model and how it could be used as a basis for research publication metadata transfers between CRIS systems and planned European Research Information Infrastructure. The STSM will use the outcome of ENRESSH-VIRTA project, conducted in activities of working group 3, as a starting point and investigate the potential of VIRTA-ENRESSH based publication metadata transfers by producing a minimum set of CERIF data model elements needed in publication metadata transfers. In addition, the STSM will provide review of this data transfer from the point of view of ENRESSH-VIRTA infrastructure as national publication metadata aggregator.
Objectives:
- Develop the existing VIRTA-ENRESSH data model by taking into consideration the CERIF data model and achieve wider interoperability by forming a minimum set of CERIF elements needed in publication metadata transfers
- Investigate the potential of VIRTA-ENRESSH data model as a basis of research publication metadata transfers in European context and outline how the research publication metadata could be transferred by using the ENRESSH-VIRTA infrastructure as an example of national metadata aggregator
Expected results:
- A summary of minimum CERIF data model elements needed in research publication metadata transfers considering CRIS systems and national aggregators in European context
- An outline of implementing the research publication metadata transfer in ENRESSH-VIRTA infrastructure
Special criteria for this STSM: Preferably the applicant has access to and is familiar with the data infrastructure of ENRESSH-VIRTA. Understanding of the CERIF data model is an advantage.
