8. The CRIS/IR Landscape in the UK

9. Extensive Stakeholder Engagement Activity

10. UKRepNet Stakeholder Engagement: the STARS Joint Venture
STARS: [U of] ST Andrews – RepNet – SDLC
A joint initiative for enhancing the U of St Andrews CRIS/IR Research Information Mgt System
(PURE CRIS + DSpace-based IR) according to the RepNet worklines:

11. Some RepNet Findings/Lessons Learnt
ITIL framework for service acceptance testing
Repository network evolution
Different use cases for repository service provision
A long-tail of stand-alone institutional repositories
Wide variety of repository platforms and versions a challenge for
service implementation
As many models for repository operation and policy as HEIs
'Hidden repository services'
CRIS User Groups currently the most effective communication
forums

15. Testing the RJ Broker on Research@StAndrews

16. Some RepNet Findings/Lessons Learnt
ITIL framework for service acceptance testing : lessons learned
Service acceptance testing: running test scripts
Code coverage
Regression testing
Security
RepNet ran test scripts on behalf of component providers
Revealed qualitative differences between ‘project’ code
for demonstrators and ‘service’ code produced in a
commercial environment with matching budget
Does this matter?
Repository services as ‘mission-critical’ for HEIs?
Service code requires greater resource (2-3 x)

17. The evolving CRIS/IR Landscape in the UK

18. Different use cases for repository service provision
A long-tail of stand-alone institutional repositories
Wide variety of repository platforms and versions a challenge for service
implementation
As many models for repository operation and policy as HEIs
'Hidden repository services'
Repository use-cases, platforms and services

19. Complying with IRUS-UK (STARS)

20. Complying with OpenAIRE (STARS)
