Defining CRIS

A CRIS contains information that documents an organizations’ involvement in science. The information usually includes data describing people, projects, and/or organizational units.

a vision for a cris movement
A Vision for a CRIS Movement

Establishment of research information systems for the support of R&D growth that will assist the work of scientists, facilitate cooperation between researchers, analyze and report on trends, advance scholarship in science, and increase the public's understanding and appreciation of science.

CRISs should work harder so that the user need not

Rather than force the user to choose the best query term, the system should be able to perform intelligent searches in a multi-lingual environment, with the assistance of a controlled vocabulary (ontology / taxonomy).

summing up
Summing Up

Clearly we are challenged to coalesce and push forward the work of CRIS, based on agreed-upon standards and recommendations, best practice and shared experience.

To achieve this, euroCRIS is rightly positioned to facilitate global CRIS development and networking.
