The document discusses the euroCRIS DSpace-CRIS repository, which provides a platform for open access to presentations from euroCRIS events. It aims to serve both as a repository and a CRIS system by including CERIF-compliant researcher profiles and organizational data. The repository is being populated starting with the most recent materials and events. Once populated, it will also function as a CRIS to provide snapshots of the euroCRIS community and support administration. The goal is to collect and increase discoverability of outputs from euroCRIS and related events to provide a far-reaching research information management platform. Community involvement is requested to review and improve personal and organizational information.
DSpace-CRIS: an open source solution - Cineca euroCRIS membership meeting Por...Andrea Bollini
The idea of DSpace-CRIS has its origin in 2009 when the Hong Kong University decided to extend the information exposed in their DSpace IR adding information (people/projects) coming from other systems already in use (mainly) for administrative purpose: a CRIS.
One year ago, November 2012, DSpace-CRIS was released as an open source solution to enrich DSpace (1.8.2). After highlighting the important steps made by the DSpace Community in 2013, that will bring to the final release of DSpace 4.0 in December, Cineca focused its presentation on what DSpace-CRIS is today.
The most important announcement was that DSpace-CRIS is now compatible and compliant with the CERIF standard and that an export feature in CERIF XML will be available in the DSpace-CRIS 4.0 version. Indeed the key components of the CERIF data model are supported natively: UUID, timestamped relation, semantic characterization.
In addition to that, the dynamic, flexible and not hardcoded approach of DSpace-CRIS data model makes it very easy to create new entities (besides the few predefined ones) and configure instances compliant with CERIF.
There are several advantages that DSpace-CRIS brings to Institutional Repositories and to the DSpace community overall:
- CRIS entities as authority for Item metadata values;
- DSpace Items can be linked and displayed in the detail page of any CRIS entities;
- Ability to display selected publications (or any other related entities) in the researcher profile;
- It is possible to create lists of selected publications (or any other related entities);
- CRIS entity detailed page visit;
- Global & Top related CERIF Entity views & downloads referencing the CRIS entity (projects for researchers, researchers for OrgUnits, etc.);
- Global & Top item views & downloads referencing the CRIS entity;
- email and RSS alerts;
- Article level metrics for PubMed (extensible):
- Cited-by count in the item page
- Number of articles for researcher
- Total citations for researcher (only items in local DSpace database will be counted)

The research area is a complex world to manage. It involves collecting data, supporting researchers and administrators, monitoring results, allocating resources efficiently, enhancing visibility, and strengthening national and international collaborations. RIMs manage these activities, but they might be too expensive. This is why Cineca developed DSpace-CRIS, and released it in open source.

DSpace-CRIS Workshop
Andrea Bollini, Luigi Andrea Pascarelli, Michele Mennielli, David Palmer
Cineca, Italy; Hong Kong University
The 90-minute workshop will introduce attendees to the latest version of the DSpace-CRIS module, covering its functional and technical aspects.
DSpace-CRIS is an additional open-source module for the DSpace platform. It extends the DSpace data model providing the ability to manage, collect and expose data about any entities of the research domain, such as people, organizational units, projects, grants, awards, patents, publications, and so on. Before OR2015 a new version of the system will be released to follow the new DSpace 5.0 version. The new version contains, among other things, important enhancements of its integration with ORCID.
The DSpace-CRIS extensible data model will be explained in depth, through examples and discussion with participants.
Other main topics are DSpace-CRIS "components", management of relationships and network analysis functionalities.
At the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:
- understand the DSpace-CRIS data model
- evaluate if DSpace-CRIS fits the requirements of their institution
- use the DSpace-CRIS User Interface
- change the default configuration, adapting it to a specific data model.
DSpace for Cultural Heritage: adding support for images visualization,audio/v...Andrea Bollini
Digital Repositories are continuously evolving into platforms aimed at managing, visualizing, curating and preserving a variety of different cultural digital objects together with their relationships
To support interoperability and to allow a broad dissemination and re-use of cultural heritage and research results, we have built two DSpace add-ons to be released as open source, the IIIF (International Image Interoperability Framework) Image Viewer and the audio/video streaming module. The first one manages the complexity of digital objects such as page sequences, chapters and sections, exposing the metadata and the structure with the IIIF presentation API and use the IIIF API to provide fast visualization and low bandwidth use. The streaming module allows to stream audio / video content loaded in the repository using adaptive streaming and the DASH industry standard. Both modules provide a full open source stack or enable the integration with external Images and Media Server.
Managing the relations between digital objects both in a hierarchical or relational way is a key feature, in order to manage every kind of cultural heritage material. Thus we are enhancing the DSpace Data Model in order to provide not only structural metadata management but also the description of relationships within cultural contexts.

Panel Discussion: COAR Next Generation Repositories: Results and Recommendations
The presentation focus on the recommended technologies to implement in Repository platforms
The nearly ubiquitous deployment of repository systems in higher education and research institutions provides the foundation for a distributed, globally networked infrastructure for scholarly communication. However, repository platforms are still using technologies and protocols designed almost twenty years ago, before the boom of the Web and the dominance of Google, social networking, semantic web and ubiquitous mobile devices.
To that end, in April 2016, COAR launched a working group to identify the technologies and architectures of the next generation of repositories. There are two threads to our work: (1) increase the exposure by repositories of uniform behaviors that can be used by machine agents to fuel novel scholarly applications that reach beyond the scope of a single repository and that enable to smoothly embed repository content into mainstream web applications. (2) integrate with existing scholarly infrastructures, specifically those aimed at identification, as a means to solidly embed repositories in the overall scholarly communication landscape.
This panel will present the results of the COAR Next Generation Repositories Working Group including our vision, design assumptions, use cases, architectural and technical recommendations, and next steps. The session will also include time for audience discussion and feedback.

Digital Infrastructure: Storage and Content ManagementNoreen Whysel
Discusses analogies between the rise of the electric power grid and the Internet. Describes storage capacity issues and requirements for digital repositories. Reviews different repository platforms specific to archival and digital collection management. Has a really cool picture of Burden's Wheel.
This paper surveys the landscape of linked open data projects in cultural heritage, exam- ining the work of groups from around the world. Traditionally, linked open data has been ranked using the five star method proposed by Tim Berners-Lee. We found this ranking to be lacking when evaluating how cultural heritage groups not merely develop linked open datasets, but find ways to used linked data to augment user experience. Building on the five-star method, we developed a six-stage life cycle describing both dataset development and dataset usage. We use this framework to describe and evaluate fifteen linked open data projects in the realm of cultural heritage.

VRA Core 4 in Transcultural Studies - Adopting Core 4 XML in a DH Environment.Matthias Arnold
This presentation has two parts: first, I introduce the Heidelberg Research Architecture (HRA) at the Cluster of Excellence "Asia and Europe" at Heidelberg University. At the core of the HRA's development is the Tamboti metadata framework, a "suite of web applications that forms an integrated environment for interdisciplinary and internationally distributed studies in transcultural dynamics."
In the second part I present Ziziphus, the VRA Core editor which is currently being developed by the HRA. It uses VRA Core 4 XML as a base and provides a user-friendly interface where editors can add and edit image metadata without being exposed to the raw XML. To use VRA Core 4 for transcultural studies within Tamboti a number of adjustments were made and developed into a local extension. In four examples these extensions are discussed, before a screencast demonstrates the use of the editor.

Pecha Kucha presentation by the Sonex workgroup at the Repository Fringe 2010 (Edinburgh, Sep 3rd, 2010). The JISC-supported Scholarly Output Notification and Exchange (SONEX) workgroup was established at the International Repositories Workshop (Amsterdam, Mar'09) for analysing and dealing with interoperability issues
underlying strategies for populating repositories. After JISC Deposit
call for funding deposit-related projects was released last March,
the role of the SONEX workgroup widened for including coordination
and eventual support for resulting projects, as well as surveillance of
deposit-related initiatives worldwide. Strategies for handling interoperability
issues in the repository environment along SONEX rst year of
work are summarized in this paper, along with future lines of work for
the SONEX initiative.
Andrew Seybold's Rebuttal to FCC Capacity White PaperAndrew Seybold
In June 2010, the FCC published its second white paper supporting its recommendations in the National Broadband Plan (NBP) submitted to Congress in March of this year.

IRIS-supporting and managing the research life cycle-eunis15Michele Mennielli
IRIS is the new CRIS (Current Research Information System) developed by Cineca, resulting from the
merge of two different solutions that have been used by Italian universities in the last 10 years. By the end of 2015, over 60 Italian Universities will be using IRIS. One of the main components of IRIS is Dspace-CRIS, an open source stand-alone mixed repository-CRIS platform (developed by the Consortium) that combines the agile OA content management provided by DSpace with additional CERIF compliant CRIS features built on top (such as persons, organisations and projects).
IRIS has 5 different modules that can work independently, but at the same time they interoperate through standard protocols and interfaces.

This 'ORCID iDs and Open Access' presentation was delivered Oct 24th, 2014 as part of the Open Access Week 2014 activities organised by the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology (FECYT). The similarities between ORCID and Open Access as two ambitious sociotechnical initiatives are explained, together with the gradual progress in ORCID iD integration into institutional and external systems. Emphasis is made on the process for ORCID iD integration into Open Access institutional repositories on different platforms, the stages accomplished and the pending challenges.
Presentation on Current Research Information Systems (CRISs), Institutional Repositories (IRs) and their interoperability delivered at the 5th Portuguese-Brazilian Open Access Conference (ConfOA) in Coimbra on Oct 7th, 2014.
The presentation describes the ORCID_CBUA project for the implementation of the ORCID author identifier across a 9-university network covered by the Consortium of Andalusian University Libraries (CBUA) in Andalusia, Spain.
Presentation delivered Apr 24th, 2014 at the JGIC'2014 Workshop on Research Information Management at the Institut d'Estudis Catalans (IEC) in Barcelona. It deals with the key role played by global standards and identifiers in enabling system interoperability, with a specific emphasis on the Common European Research Information Format (CERIF) and its growing adoption by CRIS platforms.
ORCID presentation for the Portuguese research information management community at the Jornadas FCT-FCCN in Évora. Following the FCT initiative for ensuring researchers in Portugal.register with ORCID, new opportunities are arising for integrating ORCID into different research information systems in the country. The presentation shows the current state of ORCID and the integration initiatives taking place for different stakeholders such as funders, publishers or institutions.
This presentation, delivered at the UKCoRR Members Meeting at the Open University Milton Keynes on Dec 3rd, 2013, provides an update of the evolution of ORCID implementation with specific emphasis in the UK, highlighting the opportunities the identifier offers to repositories and CRIS systems and the challenges that universities need to address when planning to adopt ORCID at institutional level.
This presentation on CRIS/IR integration and/or interoperability was delivered within the Open Access Week 2013 events organised by the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology (FECYT) and the Spanish University Library Network (REBIUN). It addresses the ever growing integration of institutional CRIS systems and repositories into a single research information management workflow -- also known by other name as "repository embedding". A number of examples are provided for this platform integration in the UK and Spain, and emphasis is placed on the benefits that such interoperability offers for increasing the effectivity in collecting and exposing institutional Open Access contents. A final reflection is added on what steps need to be taken next in order to promote a harmonised approach to research information exchange across institutions.
The presentation provides a general UKRepNet project overview, plus a description of the highly fragmented landscape for CRIS/IR implementation at UK HEIs. Finally, a brief description is offered of the current work the project is jointly carrying out with the University of St Andrews and the Scottish Digital Library Consortium (SDLC) for enhancing the University's CRIS/IR system.

ePoster presented at the Berlin10 Open Access Conference (Stellenbosch, South Africa, Nov 7-8, 2012). Abstract: The UK RepositoryNet+ Project (RepNet) has been funded by the JISC (UK Joint Information Systems Committee) to design, develop and implement a whole range of new services for the UK Institutional Repository (IR) Network, including support for new Open Access publishing models for research papers. Following its launch at the Open Repositories 2012 Conference (OR12) last July, the RepNet is now rolling out initial Wave 1 services and specifying Wave 2 services which together will represent a comprehensive suite of tools to support Open Access publishing through the Institutional Repository network developed by JISC. The RepNet Project, being run through the EDINA National Data Centre in Edinburgh, has integrated existing components and services and will be providing new ones to fill in the needs identified through a gap analysis process. Some preliminary needs analysis has already been held with different stakeholders involved in Open Access publishing – such as funders, repository managers and STM publishers. This design phase is will be followed by a first RepNet dissemination programme for repository managers and other members of the Open Access community, with a series of events to be held in order to promote discussion and collect feedback. This poster will show the background to the funding of the project, the methodology followed to map the academic publishing landscape and establish user requirements, the process followed to develop the components catalogue, and the new services for the UK repository network the project aims to develop within its project funding through July 2013.
Presentación de ORCID realizada en los Campus de Puerto Real y Cádiz de la Universidad de Cádiz el 27 de febrero de 2013. Se describen en ella los intentos realizados hasta el momento para abordar la identificación universal de autores de trabajos de investigación, el modo en que ORCID pretende abordar el problema y las ventajas que la adopción de ORCID puede conllevar para autores individuales e instituciones. Finalmente se examinan las posibilidades de un modelo de adopción de ORCID a escala nacional y los pasos previos que en este sentido están dando algunos países.
The present BAD webinar aims to introduce the ORCID standard to the Information Science community in Portugal. The talk will deal with topics such as what ORCID is, what the benefits of its implementation will be for researchers and institutions, and what the planned strategies are for promoting ORCID adoption – which should be widespread enough for the initiative to succeed.

Durante el International Repositories Workshop celebrado en Amsterdam en marzo de 2009 se señaló la urgente necesidad de incrementar los contenidos almacenados en los repositorios institucionales. Bien a través de la promoción de iniciativas para la transferencia automática de contenidos desde los editores o mediante el desarrollo de la interoperabilidad entre los sistemas de información sobre investigación o Current Research Information Systems (CRIS) y los repositorios institucionales, era preciso fomentar estrategias que permitieran automatizar la incorporación de contenidos. El grupo de trabajo SONEX (Scholarly Output Notification and Exchange), financiado por el JISC (Joint Information Systems Committee), se estableció entonces para analizar las cuestiones relacionadas con la interoperabilidad de repositorios y contribuir a la implementación de las soluciones detectadas. Tras la publicación el pasado marzo de 2010 por parte del JISC de la convocatoria para financiar proyectos relacionados con el depósito de contenidos en los repositorios del Reino Unido, el papel del grupo SONEX se amplió para incluir la colaboración y el apoyo a los proyectos seleccionados en dicha convocatoria. En esta presentación se resume el marco de interoperabilidad de repositorios analizado por SONEX a lo largo del último año y se mencionan algunas iniciativas en la materia que vienen desarrollándose en diversos repositorios españoles.

Levelwise PageRank with Loop-Based Dead End Handling Strategy : SHORT REPORT ...Subhajit Sahu
Abstract — Levelwise PageRank is an alternative method of PageRank computation which decomposes the input graph into a directed acyclic block-graph of strongly connected components, and processes them in topological order, one level at a time. This enables calculation for ranks in a distributed fashion without per-iteration communication, unlike the standard method where all vertices are processed in each iteration. It however comes with a precondition of the absence of dead ends in the input graph. Here, the native non-distributed performance of Levelwise PageRank was compared against Monolithic PageRank on a CPU as well as a GPU. To ensure a fair comparison, Monolithic PageRank was also performed on a graph where vertices were split by components. Results indicate that Levelwise PageRank is about as fast as Monolithic PageRank on the CPU, but quite a bit slower on the GPU. Slowdown on the GPU is likely caused by a large submission of small workloads, and expected to be non-issue when the computation is performed on massive graphs.
As Europe's leading economic powerhouse and the fourth-largest hashtag#economy globally, Germany stands at the forefront of innovation and industrial might. Renowned for its precision engineering and high-tech sectors, Germany's economic structure is heavily supported by a robust service industry, accounting for approximately 68% of its GDP. This economic clout and strategic geopolitical stance position Germany as a focal point in the global cyber threat landscape.
In the face of escalating global tensions, particularly those emanating from geopolitical disputes with nations like hashtag#Russia and hashtag#China, hashtag#Germany has witnessed a significant uptick in targeted cyber operations. Our analysis indicates a marked increase in hashtag#cyberattack sophistication aimed at critical infrastructure and key industrial sectors. These attacks range from ransomware campaigns to hashtag#AdvancedPersistentThreats (hashtag#APTs), threatening national security and business integrity.
🔑 Key findings include:
🔍 Increased frequency and complexity of cyber threats.
🔍 Escalation of state-sponsored and criminally motivated cyber operations.
🔍 Active dark web exchanges of malicious tools and tactics.
Our comprehensive report delves into these challenges, using a blend of open-source and proprietary data collection techniques. By monitoring activity on critical networks and analyzing attack patterns, our team provides a detailed overview of the threats facing German entities.
This report aims to equip stakeholders across public and private sectors with the knowledge to enhance their defensive strategies, reduce exposure to cyber risks, and reinforce Germany's resilience against cyber threats.

3. The value of presentations
euroCRIS line of thought:
- In difficult economic times, attending events often gets very hard...
- However, events are key for sharing and exchanging ideas – events is often
where progress is made
- Could something be done about this?
- euroCRIS not a university nor a research centre: outputs mainly event
presentations and occasionally conference papers
- Why not putting them all together in an Open Access platform?

4. Content discoverability
euroCRIS line of thought:
- A platform with appropriate metadata and well-formed, persistent URLs would
provide euroCRIS outputs far more visibility

6. Merging repository and CRIS functionality
euroCRIS line of thought:
- Such a platform could be an Open Access repository – however, in order to be
consistent with euroCRIS mission, it would need to be CERIF-compliant and
provide basic CRIS features as well

, 2014
euroCRIS line of thought:
- By collecting info about member organisations maps could be produced eg for
event attendance or contributions
- Opportunities for (mid-term) widening platform coverage to other RIM initiatives
very much based on events and presentations (such as VIVO or ORCID) thus
providing a far-reaching RIMsubject-specific platform
A request to the community:
- Please participate by reviewing your personal items / suggesting new ones
(right presentation version, accurate abstracts...)
