Breakout discussions
Breakout discussions on day 1 and day 2 (09.00-10.30) included the following topics:
- Improving inter-project collaboration – avoiding duplication of effort, sharing CERIF-XML between projects, using infoNet tools, other useful tools
- Options for maintaining key CERIF outputs from JISC projects – who should custodians be? (eg role of euroCRIS and CERIF task group)
- Research data
- Managing impact data
- REF and CERIF
- Working with the Gateway to Research
Day 2 Breakout Discussions Morning (11.30-12.30)
RIM information flows diagrams
'As is' and 'to be' information flows:
Group 1: Institutional information flows:
'as
is' - part 1
'as
is' - part 2
'as
is' - part 3
'to
be'
Group 2: Services
'as is'
Day 2 Breakout Discussions: Afternoon
Breakout group 1
Funding streams: How to represent the relations between:
- entities (projects, outputs etc)
- funding streams (grants, APC funds, etc)
What are the requirements, scope and relationships with other things?
Breakout group 2
What are the priority vocabularies and/or authority files that the sector needs to be able to use and share? For example:
- JACS
- Organisational identifiers
- Grant identifiers…
What first steps can be taken toward them, and who should be involved?
Powerpoint Slides: Priority Vocabularies and Authority Files
Breakout group 3
Functions and (meta)data seem to be moving from repositories to CRIS (at institutional and sector level).
- What are the challenges in this transition?
- What should we (not) do now to help?
Powerpoint Slides: IR/CRIS challenges
The Twitter hashtag for the event is '#rimbristol'.
