Get the Good CRIS Going: Ensuring Quality of Service for the User in the ERA
9th international Conference on Current Research Information Systems
June 5-7th, 2008 in Maribor, Slovenia
Quality and reliability are key factors for achieving the European Research Area (ERA). To establish an environment where researchers, technology and knowledge freely circulate and where national and regional research activities, programmes and policies are coordinated at the European level, trust in the enabling information and technology is crucial. By ensuring completeness, consistency and reliability of information and by providing dedicated services to different groups of stakeholders, current research information systems (CRIS) play an important role in the ERA e-Infrastructure.
CRIS 2008 focuses on how quality, reliability and trust can be established at different levels of research information systems, and how they contributeto the overall quality of service from a user's point of view. The conference is aimed at promoting scientific discussion on CRIS-related aspects and information exchange on best practice examples. CRIS 2008 continues the tradition of encouraging the sharing of experiences among developers, producers and users of research information systems. CRIS 2008 seeks also to foster discussion on novel approaches and ideas on international dialogue, pan-European cooperation,and the transfer and use of information related to CRIS.
Conference Topics
=================
Quality: Data management and quality assurance
----------------------------------------------
Defining the scope of a CRIS (institutional, national, international; discipline-specific vs. interdisciplinary); organizing data collection and sharing (involving end users and external systems; centralized, federatedand distributed approaches); establishing criteria and mechanisms for quality assurance; ensuring interoperability (ownership of data and privacy issues; authority and reliability of data; data fusion; standardization; heterogeneity of structure and semantics; data exchange and linkage between individual systems).
Success Stories: Learning from each other
-----------------------------------------
Best practice examples and success criteria for CRISs uses (as evaluationand management tools; for dissemination and information services; for profile-building of researchers, organizations or regions; influencing funding and research programmes); thinking e-Infrastructures from the CRIS point of view (relation to other information systems and services); service-oriented view on CRISs allowing re-use of information and functions (describing and detecting CRISs and their services; re-usable services for e.g. data collection, quality assurance, data fusion and information extraction; adding value by combining services and systems; CRISs and the Semantic Web / Web 2.0).
Sustainability: Research information systems as a strategic commitment
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Getting institutional commitment; embedding CRISs in an institution's strategy; relating CRISs to institutional processes and systems; cost-effectivenessof CRISs; ensuring timeliness of data in the future; cooperation as a way to sustainability; change management and end-user involvement.
Eingereicht werden können Abstracts zu Vorträgen, Workshops und Posterpräsentationen.

German
You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
