#cerif4data
C4D has developed a framework for incorporating research data metadata into CERIF, enabling research
organisations and researchers to more easily discover and utilise existing and future research datasets. A subject-
specific demonstrator in the area of marine sciences has been developed and verified at the three partner HEIs. It is
built upon the existing IRIOS platform, which itself extends the Universities for the North East Information System (UNIS).
Contributed to the extension of CERIF to support research data metadata
Worked with providers of systems including Pure and ePrints to ensure
that the developed metadata standards are available to as wide a range
of institutions as possible
Extended IRIOS to support:-
Storage of metadata via manual entry or CERIF import
Search metadata via ad-hoc queries or saved parameters
Link metadata to related grants
Export metadata to CERIF for use in CERIF-compliant systems
KEY OUTPUTS
Import / Export
CREATE METADATA RECORDS
IMPORT METADATA FROM CERIF
SEARCH METADATA & SAVE SEARCH PARAMETERS
LINK METADATA TO GRANTS
EXPORT METADATA (AND LINKED GRANTS) TO CERIF
All UK Research Councils expect significant datasets deriving from their research to be preserved, alongside sufficient metadata to
enable the data to be understood and discovered. Three Councils (NERC, ESRC, MRC) recommend
specific metadata discovery standards.
