Information Management Solutions for Modern Research and Innovation: Interoperability & Why It Matters

Global trends and research information systems development are extremely dynamic and a continuous changing landscape. In this context, where more and more institutions and researchers manage information, the channels increase such that the research information needs to be exchanged between systems. We see this as a digital ecosystem of research information.

It is pertinent to advocate the use of standards to facilitate the exchange of data to ensure that the information can flow seamlessly through the ecosystem and be reused to its maximum capacity. In addition to this streamlining the process will reduce the administrative burden faced by researchers and administrators. The presentation provides personal insights whilst exploring the current landscape and methodologies.
