Researchers belong to multiple networks, from their universities to their associations, hospitals, and funding agencies. UNIWeb accounts in all of these networks can be synchronized, such that an update made on one account will replicate in all others, and researchers can showcase their output wherever they work.

Exchanging vs. synchronizing
data
While data exchange refers to
the transfer of data from a
source system to a target
system, data synchronization
means the automatic exchange
of data to maintain data
consistency across independent
systems.
For researchers who need to
report the same information for
different places, this means a
channel (or channels) where any
changes to their information are
carried across to other networks.
An open standard for
synchronizing academic data
UNIWeb’s account
synchronization creates a
functionality that triggers data
updates across multiple systems,
whenever a user chooses. So, for
example, if a researcher were to
make a change to their UNIWeb
account in their university network,
that same update would reproduce
across all other systems, if they
choose: UNIWeb network for their
hospitals, funding agency, etc.

4. The current standard for exchanging academic data
is about to be replaced.
◎ A researcher is often affiliated with multiple
institutions and organizations, and will have to
share their academic data across multiple
systems.
◎ Rather than downloading this information and
uploading it across different networks
whenever an update is made, UNIWeb’s
account synchronization updates this
information instantly across all systems,
whenever a change is made.

7. How is information shared across different
UNIWeb systems?
◎ The first thing a researcher will do, is decide
what their primary account (where they will
access and modify their data) will be.
◎ The next step will be to select which other
UNIWeb networks (that they have an account
in) they wish to synchronize.
◎ From there, users also have the option of
selecting which information is updated across
their networks.
