- 1. Repositories,“Plugins” & the REF Leslie Carr, University of Southampton Funding Acknowledgements: JISC Readiness for REF
- 2. Current ResearchInformation Systems A CRIS pulls together information from all the research-relevant databases Repositories should support the CERIF standard to co-operate as components of a CRIS environment CRIS HR Finance Grants Expertise Repository
- 3. CERIF Information Broad, but not necessarily DEEP.
- 4. CRIS Revisited Researchers Public Institutional Management CRIS CRIS components attempt to provide service to management and researchers Repository attempts to reach researchers and public, and provide a service to management HR Finance Grants Expertise Repository

- 7. Researchers’ View ofA Project Project name Project aims / objectives Project Logo / Website / Blog Press releases, news clippings Funding
- 8. Repository / CRIS combo Bring new perspective to CRIS Researcher-oriented Publicity-oriented Marketing-oriented Descriptive, narrative Complementary to administrative perspective
- 9. EPrints / CRIS EPrints internally accommodates CERIF data Not just publications but projects and organisations Allows data interchange with external CRIS systems Allows EPrints to act as a simple CRIS,or to provide CRIS-style functions CERIFed repositories have many separate datasets, all linked together via explicit relationships a paper doesn’t have a project property, it is related to project objects
- 10. EPrints Before (sans CERIF) Projects and funding organisations were just names typed into the paper’s metadata record
- 11. EPrints After Now they are objects in their own right A paper links to its affiliated projects, instead of just mentioning them
- 12. Concluding Remarks Available from EPrints v3.3 (summer 2011) Repositories have a history of engagement with grassroots / public providing services (portfolios, collections, reports) collecting/managing/preserving information and knowledge products These engagements can enrich CRIS products CRIS ontological breadth can enrich repositories Distinction between CRIS / repository starts to blur.
- 13. PS What is a Repository? A repository is not just a piece of information management software It is a socially embedded technological phenomenon that promotes new relationship to research information International programs of ‘advocacy’ Institutionally embedded, with teams of librarians trained to use, and to train researchers to use, repositories Personal engagement with end-users
