• The query returns all released publications related to the person ID.
• A standard layout of publication list is shown,including the personal information of the person as stored in the CONE service .

• The user can query external name authority services when viewing the profile (look-up services for Kaken, WorldCat, ResearcherID, PND, Google Scholar)

• The external photo is integrated by URL.

Comments

• The presentation of the researcher portfolio will be in the CONE Service, as this portfolio may contain informations from various escidoc solutions (at the moment only from PubMan).
• The GUI (css) of the researcher portfolio presentation should be escidoc specific, but well distinguishable from PubMan.
• The presentation of the researcher portfolio will be in English, an extra page in CONE service will be needed to provide a translation of the researcher portfolio in e.g. japanese letters.
• NIMS wants it to be visible on the researcher profile who last modified it and when.
• There will be an alphabetic sorting for the displayed org units (if a person belongs to more than one org unit).
