Pubman Func Spec Researcher Portfolio

Scenarios

• The scientists wants to provide an individual entry point to his research stored in the repository, aligned with personal information.

• The public user has found an interesting publication and wants to see more publications of the author.

• The public user is interested in the researcher portfolio of a specific author.

Functional Specification

UC View researcher portfolio/profile

Status: in specification

Schedule: R4.1

• can be triggered from detailed item view (e.g. info icon for each person that has Person ID)
• Condition: The person related to a publication must have an authorized CONE person ID to provide researcher portfolio
• Researcher portfolio is generated on demand, by searching all publications related to this CONE Person ID
• The query returns all released publications related to the person ID.
• An XSLT is applied to the results and generates a standard layout of publication list,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)
• The external photo is integrated by URL.
• The Publication list rendered is sorted by most-recent date, descending.

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
• Keywords of research fields and interests (free text)(no controlled categories)
• Subject (DDC)
• Degree (freetext) (e.g.: PhD in Library Science, 2006)
• Current position (freetext) (e.g. Head of Library)
• Awards (free text field)
• Organizational unit (controlled, fetched by OUtree)
• Other affiliations (free text, e.g. Member of IEEE, Fellow student at xy)

TODO:

• Align data structure with requirements from ICE
• Align with proposal for person metadata

Future development

• Provide functionality to define own layout of researcher portfolio
• 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)

Tools

• SelectedWorks web-service, Berkeley
• VITRO ontology editor, Cornell
• Any blog software? (see Discussion page)
• ISI's HighlyCited.com or ISI's researcherID
• Community of Science, COS
• Epernicus - a profile in a social networking tool
