    ***apologies for cross-posting***
    CILEA and the University of Hong Kong (HKU) are pleased to announce the
    immediate availability for download of the first alpha release of the
    DSpace CRIS module.
    https://github.com/CILEA/dspace-cris
    Publications are an important output of the research cycle. They allow
    communication between scholars, and measurement and decision support of
    research amongst research administrators. However there are many other
    equally important entities in research that need description and
    tracking, such as projects, grants, patents, organization units,
    researcher profiles (people), etc. Integrating and contextualizing all
    of these entities along with publications, adds greater value to each
    individual piece, in terms of visibility, discovery, and understanding
    of the total research picture. One name used for such integrations is
    Current Research Information System (CRIS).
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_Research_Information_System
    This DSpace addon enables the ingestion, storage, display and management
    of metadata & fulltext on these other research entities. This module
    produces a smooth integration between native DSpace items (publications)
    and other CRIS entities. All entities (native DSpace items or new CRIS
    Entities) can be linked with each other using autocomplete/lookup
    functions in the submission edit phase and the inter-navigation in
    visualizations.
    This is the first public release. Richer versions with more features and
    functionality will appear soon. These are described in the DSpace CRIS
    Roadmap page:
    https://github.com/CILEA/dspace-cris/wiki/Roadmap
    Most of these features are now in The HKU Scholars Hub.

    The current version works on a customized version of DSpace 1.8.2 JSPUI
    and can be installed by following the instructions provided here:
    https://github.com/CILEA/dspace-cris/wiki/Installation
    We expect to release a complete upgrade of the DSpace CRIS module to
    DSpace 3 in the coming months. Some of this code base will make its way
    into general DSpace releases, such as “Solr Discovery for JSPUI” in
    DSpace 3. However we envision that most of this work will be an optional
    addon, which DSpace developers can choose to implement, or not.
    In the spirit of open source, we hope that this DSpace CRIS module will
    receive wide adoption in the DSpace community. We hope that many will
    find useful and then build further upon this start. To enable this
    desired multilateral collaboration, we ask that you send any inquires
    directly to the dspace mailing lists (mainly
    dspace-tech ＠ xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx).
    Up to now, this has been a collaboration between CILEA and HKU. The HKU
    side is supported by funding from the HKU Office of Knowledge Exchange
    and the University Libraries.
    A note on mailing list etiquette:

    Our open regards to all,
    CILEA & HKU
