What is CERIF ?
Common European Research Information Format
(1) data model (data-centric focus)
(2) allows for a (metadata) representation of
– research entities
– their activities / interconnections (research)
– their output (results)
(3) enables quality maintenance, archiving, access and
interchange of research information
(4) supports knowledge transfer to researchers / research
managers / research strategists / publication editors /
media / brokers / the general public

What is Metadata ?
„Metadata is structured data which describes the
characteristics of a resource.”
An Introduction to Metadata, by Chris Taylor, University of Queensland
“Metadata is sometimes defined literally as 'data about data,'
but the term is normally understood to mean structured
data about resources that can be used to help support a
wide range of operations. These might include, for
example, resource description and discovery, the
management of information resources and their long-term
preservation.” Metadata in a Nutshell, by Michael Day, UKOLN

What is data-centric ?
– Data / Metadata in the center
– Data Maintenance, Curation, Preservation
and Quality a major interest

informs
B
 It allows for a better communication between
interested parties
 It supports mutual understanding
 It supports (re-)design decisions
 It supports documentation
 It can be exchanged, re-used, iterated, extended

JISC Report from April 2008
“Metadata for digital libraries: state of the art and future directions”
by Richard Gartner
http://www.jisc.ac.uk/media/documents/techwatch/tsw_0801pdf.pdf

Many available Schemas (DC, METS, MODS, …)

Each schema was singularly developed and not designed as an overal
architecture to cover integrated object entities

JISC recommends therefore to overcome the problem by best
practise guidelines and pragmatic application

Issues of duplicate information (overlap in sections of metadata)
need rules and are currently being addressed by the library
community in good practise guidelines

XML is of great importance to embed and make use of namespaces
Combining Metadata standards, even a limited such as described
above, will always be messier than utilising a single standard that
combines their taxonomic powers and resolves any potential clashes
or duplications between them.
Integration by itself would of course be of little consequence if the
standards themselves failed to address the metadata needs of the
digital library community. In this respect, the provenance of each
standard is of some importance. All have been constructed by
authoritative standard setters within their communities.
Most of the mentioned standards have proved their ability to meet
the requirements of major and highly complex digital collections.

CERIF 91
– published in a first release
– recommended to Member States
• to harmonise databases on research projects
• ease exchange of comparable information
• guidelines for building research databases
– only dealt with research project records
– demonstrated in the ERGO pilot project
• access to more than 80.000 project records
• from more than 20 national information services
– demonstrated the feasability of exchange
– identified the need for more detailed guidelines
– confirmed the need to revise CERIF and extend it to other types
of research information, not only projects
– revision activities started in 1997 co-ordinated by the EC
– led to CERIF 2000

– a base framework for data exchange
– multilingual subject indexing (Ortelius Thesaurus)
– recommendations for controlled attribute values
– reflection on user groups and requirements

(Geert van Grootel, EWI, Flanders; atira A/S, Aalborg, Denmark)
 Exchange with Best Practice
(Ales Bosniak, IZUM, Slovenia)
 Collaborate with new TG Institutional Repositories (IR-CERIF)
(Anna Clements, University of St. Andrews, UK)
 Next Steps:
 Extension of Semantic Layer with Content
 Check Tools for Managing the Semantics
 Mappings of major Schemas (Standards)
