As already reported, the workshop was a huge success with a ‘sell-out audience’ of over 60 participants. The attached document summarises the breakout sessions which were held in the afternoon, but first the CiA project team have highlighted below the key themes and ‘take home’ messages from these sessions ;
- the need for a governance model to sustain and extend CiA (and other use case) schemas and mappings going forward
- the need for funders (e.g. research councils) to standardise their reporting requirements and co-ordinate communication across the research community
- the need for clear definitions and use cases (mapping back to business terminology) for CERIF entities
- the need for authoritative lists e.g. research organisations, funding organisations, journals
