Marjan Vernooy-GerritseneuroCRIS - St. Andrews – November 2009

Agenda

• Laboratorial Assessment of CRIS’s• Prioritising criteria (MoSCoW)• Dreaming of …. As-is To-be

Dutch Situation

• Metis - Built by UCI of Radboud University Nijmegen

- Started in 1993, based on Oracle

- Used by all 13 universities and KNAW

- Metadata of content in Open Access Repositories

- Affiliation central (person – organisation)
