Interlinking
Have demonstrated:1. Interlinking of CERIF CRIS2. Interlinking of CERIF-CRIS with a
repository of documents3. Interlinking of CERIF-CRIS with a
research data /software repositoryThis provides a complete contextual information resource for the organisation locally, nationally and internationally
© euroCRIS/Keith G Jeffery 13euroCRIS and e-Infrastructure
Why is this Important?
Management Information for decision-making on research priorities
e.g. by funding organisations or research institutionsManagement Information on research performance
e.g. by research institution based on information on person, organisational unit, facility…
Information to complete automatically many proformas
eg research project proposalManagement information for Innovation
© euroCRIS/Keith G Jeffery 14euroCRIS and e-Infrastructure
And more….
CERIF-CRIS can be linked to other systems
E.g. finance, HR, project management, CRM….
So becoming the corporate central system for an organisation
Relating together all the information and acting as a ‘bridge’ across all the different systems
