10. UKRepNet Stakeholder Engagement: the STARS Joint Venture
STARS: [U of] ST Andrews – RepNet – SDLC
A joint initiative for enhancing the U of St Andrews CRIS/IR Research Information Mgt System
(PURE CRIS + DSpace-based IR) according to the RepNet worklines:
11. Some RepNet Findings/Lessons Learnt
ITIL framework for service acceptance testing
Repository network evolution
Different use cases for repository service provision
A long-tail of stand-alone institutional repositories
Wide variety of repository platforms and versions a challenge for
service implementation
As many models for repository operation and policy as HEIs
'Hidden repository services'
CRIS User Groups currently the most effective communication
forums

16. Some RepNet Findings/Lessons Learnt
ITIL framework for service acceptance testing : lessons learned
Service acceptance testing: running test scripts
Code coverage
Regression testing
Security
RepNet ran test scripts on behalf of component providers
Revealed qualitative differences between ‘project’ code
for demonstrators and ‘service’ code produced in a
commercial environment with matching budget
Does this matter?
Repository services as ‘mission-critical’ for HEIs?
Service code requires greater resource (2-3 x)
18. Different use cases for repository service provision
A long-tail of stand-alone institutional repositories
Wide variety of repository platforms and versions a challenge for service
implementation
As many models for repository operation and policy as HEIs
'Hidden repository services'
Repository use-cases, platforms and services
21. An alternative for OpenAIRE compliance: via Pure CRIS

Hinweis der Redaktion
The complex CRIS/IR landscape at UK HEIs: Original RepNet aim was to serve the institutional repository network The landscape has deeply evolved since, both in terms of infrastructure (CRISes) and policy (Finch, BIS, RCUK) Use cases for Research Information Mgt system implementation at institutions: not that many stand-alone IRs anymore
[Jackie] IRUS patch for DSpace 1.8 installed via SDLC. Monthly COUNTER-compliant usage reports collected. Mismatches between IRUS and GoogleAnalytics figures identified and reported to the IRUS-UK team.
[Jackie] OpenAIRE collection created with a few research outputs from FP7-funded projects in it (ssee figure). Issues with compliance met – the OpenAIRE Guidelines have been updated this year and the updated validator only came in service as a beta version a few weeks ago. Issues being researched in order to fix them. OpenAIRE compliance on EPrints-based IRs much more straightforward than for Dspace-based ones, as EPrints plug-in will crosswalk metadata elements. Atira also working on OpenAIRE compliance from Pure CRIS – a suitable alternative (see next slide).
