Functional Specification

UC Generate researcher portfolio

Status: in specification

Schedule: R5

• Condition: The person related to a publication must have person ID to provide researcher portfolio.
• Researcher portfolio is generated on demand, by searching of publications related to this Person ID
  • Searching by person Id can be done via Advanced Search or Search&Output.
  • The query returns all released publications related to the provided person ID.
• An XSLT is applied to the results and generates a standard layout of publication list,including the personal information of the person (see below data structure). The person information is stored in CONE.
• The external photo is integrated by URL.
• Sorting criteria are pre-defined (by year).

UC Search by name

Status: in specification

Schedule: R5

• For any name stored in the system, user can trigger "search for this name".
• It always searches by name.

• Result: Search result on PubMan, all released publications.

UC View researcher portfolio

Status: in specification

Schedule: R5

• "view portfolio" should be offered for any person which is stored with PersonID
• can be triggered from detailed item view (e.g. info icon for each person that has Person ID)
• this will link to generated researcher portfolio, see UC Generate researcher portfolio

Technical specification

Data structure

Following information should be available on a researcher portfolio, based on the Person ID and the Named Entity Service:

• Photo (stored externally, provided by URL)
• eSciDoc CONE ResearcherID (once), including URI
• external ID (multiple), including URI if available. E.g. from KAKEN

• Search within researcher portfolio
• The scientist wants to modify and update his portfolio. He wants to have easy possibility to organize the content on his portfolio, upload content.
• Contact author (when visiting the researcher profile, link to email. check for spam/hacks)
