Metis

• Built and maintained by University Centre of Information Services at Radboud University in Nijmegen

• Start in 1993• Used by all 13 universities and the Royal Academy

• Contains only metadata, no content• Central concept: Affiliation (relation between

person and organisation)

• Current version (2.x) is at the end of its life cycle

How is Metis Used?

• differences between universities

• differences within universities

• between faculties

• medical faculties!

• for varying purposes

Two Surveys

• interfaces to other systems, to what purpose?

• what functionality do we want to have in the future

To recapitulate• all universities in .nl use metis (unique!)

• great diversity between universities wrt use

• even great diversity within universities

• current metis is at the end of it’s life cycle

• universities can (probably) reach agreement on a

LEAN and MEAN replacement for metis.....

• which is NOT a full text repository

• which does NOT contain advanced workflow facilities

• which does NOT offer advanced reporting facilities

• which does NOT have a “My personal CRIS” facility

• which IS able to interface to many different

systems

• which has a standard configuration

Next steps

• Unite stakeholders:

• Research universities

• Universities of Applied Sciences

• Medical Faculties

• Start European Tender

• specifications

• project organization

• Acquire additional funding
