Next generation Institutional Repositories: The case of the CUT Institutional Repository KTISIS

Abstract

This paper focuses on the transformation of the institutional repository KTISIS into a Current Research Information System (CRIS). KTISIS is the first presentation of a European CRIS implemented with the open-source software DSpace-CRIS. In this paper, we present how KTISIS was tailored according to the DSpace-CRIS features in order to satisfy our own repository needs. Our work aims to keep KTISIS up to date with the current status of technologies, following the guidelines for Next Generation Repositories as published by the COAR Next Generation Repositories Working Group.
