Interoperability between Current Research Information Systems (CRIS) and Open Access Repository (OAR) systems was increased by defining and proposing a metadata exchange format for publication information with an associated common vocabulary, and thus contributing to:
- Making metadata input more efficient
- Avoiding or reducing duplicated inputs on the two platforms
- Increasing metadata quality, reliability and reusability
- Increasing quality level of services based on these metadata
- Reducing costs of metadata handling and exchange
This project started in January 2009 and outcomes were presented in October 2010.

Presentation at EUROCRIS
The preliminary results were discussed in a workshop at the EUROCRIS conference in June 2010 in Aalborg Denmark. View the CRIS OAR project presentation.
