Links with CRIS systems

[leahma...@gmail.com]

Hello, 

Do any of you have an eprints instance set up to recieve automatic imports from a CRIS? 

We've been experimenting with import from PURE but finding there is still a lot of manual work involved. 

Wondered if anyone might be prepared to share their experience.

Best

Leah

Hello Leah

 

For what it’s worth, when we set up our Elements CRIS, we were told that our eprints repository could receive data from Elements, but we were never able to get that to work.

 

Best wishes

Stephanie Meece

Hi Leah,

There is a Pure repository connector available from Pure themselves. You have to install some code on the EPrints server to make it work (I've got an 'improved' version that does things in a more 'eprints-y' kind of way if you're interested at some point).

It's quite 'bossy' - you essentially have to do the data validation in Pure, and it just sends stuff through to EPrints when there's any updates.

 

Have you been trying to use that connector, or have you been trying to use the Pure webservices/APIs?

 

Pure make a version of the record available in MODS format, which you then map using an XSLT into an EPrints format.

 

It seems to work OK.

 

Stephanie:

We've also got a Symplectic connector working. Were you trying to use the Elements 'Repository Tools' connector, or something else?

If you're still trying to get it to work, I might have some useful knowledge.

 

Cheers,

John

Hi Leah,

 

Here at Southampton we also have Pure feeding through to ePrints, and we also have our own bespoke connector rather than using the in-built version.

 

We no longer have some things we used to have in ePrints, so for example we can’t get shelves to work, but generally it is okay. I agree with John ‘though, Pure can be quite bossy (great way of putting it by the way, I shall definitely be borrowing it!).

Hi,

We use Converis from Clarivate as our CRIS and uses their built-in connector to push publications to our EPrint repository (and some custom code to fill the gaps all out-of-box solutions initally has).   Since metadata is handled quite differently in our systems there will always be some manual work in order to have subjects, named sets etc in sync.  Example: Organisational trees, special keyword lists, etc.  

If I was to setup a new repository from scratch using a CRIS as "the only submitter" I would really try to make the Eprint datamodel as simple as possible to avoid having processes updating subjects and similar objects which quite easily gets "forgotten" if the majority of work/workflow processing is done in the main CRIS system.  All naturally depending of what exactly you want to get out of the EPrint system.  

Best Regards,

Christer Enkvist
