The Norwegian research reporting system

• 1993 Norwegian research institutions start to
  report their research using ForskDok
• 2003 The Ministry of Education and Research
  proposes a national system for research reporting
• 2005 The registration systems Frida and
  ForskDok are both in use
• The Norwegian Social Science Data Services (NSD)
  gather the data and create reports that are
  forwarded to the Ministry
• Data are used in the decision making process on
  research funding allocation for the coming year.
• Searchable databases that give an overview of all
  Norwegian research.

Data exchange between research reporting systems
and DSpace

• IR project groups from the same Universities are
  collaborating with the FRIDA development group
• Goal Data exchange between research reporting
  systems and IRs
• Two possible solutions
• To harvest data from parts of FRIDA using OAI-PMH
  and importing the data to the local IRs
• Submitting the data via a separate submission
  interface and transferring the data to the
  various systems

Advantages

• The researcher only has to submit the metadata of
  their research publications once
• The submission can be (almost) completed by the
  researcher
• Marketing advantages
• We get a complete overview of research published
  by members of the University, and can plan for
  the inclusion of documents into BORA
