Dear Julie

Sorry I haven't replied earlier.

We have a CRIS (Research Expertise database) at St Andrews 
(http://portal.st-andrews.ac.uk/research-expertise/) holding RI on all 
our researchers. This reads data directly from several other central 
systems eg Human Resources, Research Grants Management, Student database 
(supervised students), RAEStore (all except the first are 
password-protected at the moment).
The database uses a locally specified data structure, although it is 
highly normalised and I am hopeful that it can be easily converted to 
CERIF format .. given the resources!  This would also allow us to create 
more robust links between staff, research projects and output. At the 
moment, research projects and linked to staff and outputs are linked to 
staff .. but the third side of the triangle (output to research 
projects) is not there.

The data stored in the CRIS is being sucked into other areas such 
individual School web-pages, for example that for Modern Languages 
(http://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/modlangs/french/french_staff.php) and 
Biology (http://bio.st-andrews.ac.uk/staffProfile.aspx?sunID=mfw2). We 
are also working on a media-friendly front-end. Our aim is to create one 
central database for this information that (i) individuals can keep up 
to date and (ii) can pull in relevant data from other central systems .. 
making it more transparent and therefore less error-prone !

As far as a link to a repository is concerned, we are working with 
Edinburgh University to setup a dSpace full-text repository which will 
link to this CRIS and so present a single point of entry for our 
researchers to enter metadata about research output and upload the 
full-text.  The CRIS will be the driver and pass DC metadata and 
full-text files via a web-service to dSpace.  We aim to have this 
facility working very shortly.

All the best

Anna
