IRIOS(Integrated Research Input & Output System)

London, 3rd March 2011

Aims and Objectives• Extract Project Data from RCUK SSC• Transform data to be CERIF compliant• Store on an independent server (UNIS)• Develop an interrogation tool to allow the UNIS data to be queried• Validate the data against local CRIS info from the three HEI partners• Link HEI research output data (IRs) to UNIS project data• Run a workshop to demonstrate and promote CERIF

• Overall the aim to raise awareness in the RMA and IR community of CERIF and demonstrate its usefulness in sharing research information

Partners• Sunderland

– Simon Kerridge, Kevin Ginty, Paul Cranner, Alan Woolrych, Kathleen Callender

• Glasgow– Valerie McCutcheon, Gordon Allan

• St Andrews– Anna Clements, Niall Lockhart

• NERC– Gerry Lawson

• EPSRC– Colin Haylock

Demonstrator

• Upgrade UNIS to be CERIF compliant• Develop an adapter to allow RC project data to be imported into UNIS• Develop an interrogation tool to allow the imported data to be queried• Validate the demonstrator against local data from the three HEI

partners• Link HEI research output data to RC project data• Run a workshop to promote the demonstrator

Demonstrator will be based upon the Universities for the North East Information System (UNIS). UNIS is a collaborative project management tool used by five universities in North East England to manage reach-out activity. Key project objectives include:

General Process of Demonstrator

• Import of RC data for conversion to CERIF compliant format in UNIS

• CERIF compliant format RC data accessible to various HEI’s in UNIS (initially Sunderland, Glasgow and St Andrews) to query

• Link data from UNIS to individual HEI’s CERIF compliant IR systems
