Integrating CERIF Entities in a Multidisciplinary e-infrastructure for Environmental Research Data

چکیده
The paper proposes different solutions to integrate CERIF in the environmental dataset domain, based on the quality of semantic mapping as well as on the characteristics of the CERIF data model. A two-way crosswalk is described resulting in the identification of a core of corresponding metadata and a proposal of extensions of the CERIF model. Extensions of ISO concepts are also described to provide contextual research information in the domain of environmental research data. Finally, the crosswalk has been implemented in the GI-cat discovery broker framework. Successful tests demonstrated the possibility for CERIF information to be integrated in ISO compliant infrastructures and for INSPIRE information to be captured in CERIF. © 2014 The Authors.

The e-infrastructure provides interconnection of computing and data resources. Low-level middleware has been and is being developed to conceal the heterogeneity of the physical e-infrastructure and thus provide a platform for information services. The information services form the i-infrastructure, supported by the underlying e-infrastructure. A CERIF-CRIS (Common European Research Information ...

Purpose – The purpose of this research is to observe all data from the Common European Research Information Format (CERIF) data model that can be described using bibliographic standards and move those data to a data model of bibliographic standard. Design/methodology/approach – Analysis of the CERIF data model and the MARC 21 format has shown that some elements of the CERIF data model could be ...
متن کاملResearch information management: the CERIF approach
In the context of the wide research environment we introduce the CERIF (Common European Research Information Format) data model which (a) has a richer structure than the usual metadata standards used in research information; (b) separates base entities from link entities thus providing flexibility in expressing role based temporal relationships; (c) defines a distinct semantic layer so that rel...
