<br>
CINECA[1] and the University of Hong Kong (HKU)[2] are pleased to<br>
announce the immediate availability for download of a new release of the<br>
DSpace CRIS module:<br>

<br>
Publications are an important output of the research cycle. They allow<br>
communication between scholars, and measurement and decision support of<br>
research amongst research administrators. However there are many other<br>
equally important entities in research that need description and<br>
tracking, such as projects, grants, patents, organization units,<br>
researcher profiles (people), etc. Integrating and contextualizing all<br>
of these entities along with publications, adds greater value to each<br>
individual piece, in terms of visibility, discovery, and understanding<br>
of the total research picture. One name used for such integrations is<br>
Current Research Information System (CRIS).<br>

<br>
This DSpace addon enables the ingestion, storage, display and management<br>
of metadata & fulltext on these other research entities. This module<br>
produces a smooth integration between native DSpace items (publications)<br>
and other CRIS entities. All entities (native DSpace items or new CRIS<br>
Entities) can be linked with each other using autocomplete/lookup<br>
functions in the submission edit phase and/or the inter-navigation in<br>
visualizations.<br>
<br>
This new release is a step forward to CERIF compliance<br>

that is scheduled for the next release. The updated DSpace CRIS Roadmap<br>

<br>
This is the version upon which the HKU Scholar Hub <a href="http://hub.hku.hk" target="_blank">http://hub.hku.hk</a> is<br>
built. It is tagged as a beta mainly due to poor documentation and the<br>
presence of areas of code and database that are still under development.<br>
<br>
In this new release some exciting features of the HKU Hub are included,<br>
such as:<br>
- PubMed integration<br>
- statistics visualization and alert (via email & RSS)<br>
- network graph visualization & analysis<br>
- management of researcher's preference to make a selected list (or<br>
hide) publications, projects, etc, self-made by researcher, or by staff<br>
- SOAP webservices to access data (read-only)<br>
<br>
At the technical level we worked hard to make the installation procedure<br>
easier, all the required steps are automatically performed during the<br>
standard DSpace installation (mvn package). The database settings are<br>
now automatically derived from the dspace.cfg file without need for<br>
editing extra hibernate configuration files.<br>
<br>
The code has been updated to work with SOLR 4.1, this allows the use of<br>
SOLR join to make interesting statistics analysis grouping by authors,<br>
content types, etc.<br>
<br>
We plan to work with the DSpace community to contribute the upgrade to<br>
SOLR 4.1 to the next main release of DSpace, expected to be 4.0.<br>
<br>
Some of this code base will make its way into general DSpace releases,<br>
such as “Solr Discovery for JSPUI” in DSpace 3. However we envision that<br>
most of this work will be an optional addon, which DSpace developers can<br>
choose to implement, or not. In the spirit of open source, we hope that<br>
this DSpace CRIS module will receive wide adoption in the DSpace<br>
community. We hope that many will find it useful and then build further<br>
upon this start. To enable this desired multilateral collaboration, we<br>
ask that you send any inquires directly to the dspace mailing lists<br>
(mainly dspace-tech at <a href="http://lists.sourceforge.net" target="_blank">lists.sourceforge.net</a>).<br>
<br>
We invite all the interested parties to get in touch with us. The next<br>
Open Repository meeting will be a nice opportunity to talk face-to-face<br>
about DSpace-CRIS. There are no scheduled presentations about<br>
DSpace-CRIS, so just look around to find me and talk directly with me.<br>
<br>
Up to now, this has been a collaboration between CINECA and HKU. The HKU<br>
side is supported by funding from the HKU Office of Knowledge Exchange<br>
and the University Libraries.<br>
