 CRIS 2002
 Call for Papers
 
 Gaining Insight from Research
 Information
 6th International Conference on Current
 Research Information Systems
 
 
 
 Conference Mission
 CRIS 2002 is aimed at promoting
 scientific discussion and information
 exchange. It also should encourage the
 sharing of experience among developers,
 producers and users of research
 information systems. A further
 intention is discussing differing and
 novel approaches and offering ideas on
 inter European cooperation, transfer and
 use of information.
 
 
 
 Conference Topics
 - Development of information
 networks/portals (i.e. from research
 databases to systems encompassing the
 realm of research activities)
 
 - Semantic heterogeneity of integrated
 searches in structured and non-
 structured information pools and those
 generated by different content analyses
 (databases from different
 countries/institutions and Internet
 offers)
 
 - Information structuring: standards,
 new drafts, acceptance (Metadata,
 Dublin Core, CERIF, XML etc.)
 
 - The verification of information in
 the light of public accessibility via
 Internet (linking research information
 with budgetary and promotional systems
 as well as with library reference
 instruments)
 
 - User-friendly systems, user help
 systems, mobile library systems
 
 - User or usage research (market
 analyses, survey, logfile analyses
 etc.)
 
 - Integration of research information
 in (knowledge) management systems
