Solution for Integrating Educational Platforms into Brazilian CRIS Model

EasyChair Preprint no. 3041

Abstract

Considering a CRIS implementation in Brazil, we aim to present a technological solution to interoperate and interact with a diverse scope of systems used by many educational institutions. We designed a customizable product, being able to adapt and be used in any ecosystem regardless the different range of data and technological maturity. Preliminary tests showed a robust and satisfactory solution.

We initially tested the solutions in the databases of Capes (Brazilian funder and graduate programs evaluator), National Library, Google Scholar, Open Library, ISBN DB, Scopus, ORCID, Google Books, Lattes (national CV), and a partner University to obtain data from the academic system.

Both solutions were able to receive any existing data source provided by participants, either via API or file upload, among others whether structured or not. All configuration for receiving and displaying data was simple and made by themselves.

Preliminary tests showed dynamic and robust solutions to solve any data interchange between institutions regardless of the degree of technological maturity of each one. They will be the technological base to collect, disambiguate and synchronize data related to education, science, technologic and innovation.

Keyphrases: A customizable solution to collect and expose data, Different academic systems used by each institution, Large scale data interchange, Necessity to have an integrating platform to interoperate data in order to reduce operational effort
