Presentation Transcript

  1. CASRAI • Consortia Advancing Standards in • Research Administration Information • David Baker, Executive Director

  2. The players • Research Teams (largely the data owners) • Research Institutions • Research Funders

  3. The problems • Researcher time wasted • Unnecessary duplication • Data quality • Data availability • Data silos

  4. The solution • Leading players agree on semantics and structure of data and publish specifications • Software and databases align to produce and consume data that is conformant to these specifications • Research teams maintain a single file on themselves and their activities and generate any reports from that file on demand

  5. Communities • Health Sciences • Natural Sciences • Engineering • Humanities • Social Sciences • Arts and Literature

  6. Focus • Document-centric (familiar concept for business stakeholders) • Write once, reuse anywhere • Person to org exchange centric but also facilitates org to org • Business-first focus • Implementation agnostic

  7. Conceptual Structures • Profiles • Documents • Packages

  8. Profiles • Complete history of an entity • Includes current state (which will become history) • Sections, Record-types, Fields, Lists • Technical labels, humans labels, semantic definitions, data structures, rules

  9. Documents • Template definition for a subset of a profile at a point in time • Meets the info needs of one step in a process • Can be validated separately

  10. Packages • Collections of documents • Culled from multiple, independently managed profiles

  11. Personnel Data • Describes people conducting research • Can generate: Academic CV, Funding CV, Community CV, Student CV, Faculty Annual Reports. • Includes: Contact, Education History, Employment History, Funding History, Contributions (services and outputs)

  12. Activity Data • Describe the research projects and programs conducted. • Can generate: Funding Applications, Compliance Reports, Financial and Progress Reports, Impact Reports. • Includes: Participants, Partners, Funding Received, Training of Highly Qualified Personnel (HQP), Impacts.

  13. Impact Data • Captures the direct and derived impacts of research activity on new outputs and outcomes and upon society • Inserts simple indicator elements into the Personnel and Activity data profiles • Distills all impact indicators down to common data sources (less duplication)

  14. Classification Taxonomy • An integrated taxonomy for classifying researchers and activities • Includes disciplines, subjects, and fields of application

  15. CASRAI Outputs • Conceptual data dictionary (business users) • XML data dictionary (technical users) • Lists update services • Version control • Test Suites
