CIA Workshop: London, 19th October 2012

Workshop: Transferring research data to RCUK and other organisations

*** FULL ***

Register your interest now for the opportunity to attend our free event on Friday 19th October in London.

Come along and hear about the work we have been doing on exchanging research data via CERIF-XML.

This event will include an overview and demonstration of prototypes to transfer information between organisations such as RCUK (via the Research Outcomes System [ROS]) and other Research Organisations using a standard CERIF format via various Research Information Systems; ultimately saving researchers and central research administrators’ time, allowing them time to concentrate on their core tasks.

The workshop will include discussion as to sustainability of the CERIF-XML model, and will include a short presentation from our RIM3 partner project IRIOS2, with whom we have been working closely to create a standard model for CERIF-XML.
