Introduction
A CRIS (Current Research Information Systems), aka as RIMS (Research Information Management System), is a system to collect information about the entities that populate the research domain and provide researchers, managers and administrators, funders and decision makers, with a solid knowledge of the research activities, their outputs and results to inform institutional strategies.
DSpace-CRIS consists of a data model describing objects of interest to the Reseach ecosystem and a set of tools to manage the data. While standard DSpace deals with publications and datasets, DSpace-CRIS involves the other entities that are part of the research domain: Researchers, Projects, Organization Units and Second Level Dynamic Objects (single entities specialized by a profile, such as Journals, Prizes, Events etc: each profile can define its own set of properties and nested objects).
Differently from other (commercial) CRIS, DSpace-CRIS also includes the institutional repository and provides high visibility on the web to all the collected information and objects as defined by policies.
