We will create a “one-click publication sharing” system, where a paper will be uploaded and simultaneously deposited into the institutional repository, text mined for keywords and coauthors to suggest additions to the social graph connections of the author, and also added to the online profile of the author. We will work with institutional stakeholders to connect this to the REF bibliometrics system in a way which allows academics to check and correct their publication record. The work of this project builds strongly upon existing systems and infrastructure at the University of Cambridge and expertise at CARET. Our Sakai VLE/VRE has grown from the original JISC VRE1 days, and supports learning functionality as well as research; it is used by over 3000 unique people per day in its function as the institutional VLE/VRE.

We will create a unified system that provides a single virtual interface for searching across all the repositories’ and collections, this will not only make the data and information more readily available, but also ensure that all the resources that need to be accessed would be easier to find and interact with.

This arises as institutions seek to diversify into activities outside traditional academic fields and the academic sector and require integrated research frameworks that can support this changed environment. Coventry University has identified a key gap in its provision for facilitating and supporting the diverse range of research activity it is involved in, particularly for cross-disciplinary and business and community related work, which is the strategic focus of the Institution. The project will create an integrating VRE framework to support a university-centred Research and Innovation Network and Community. It draws on the experience and outputs from the earlier phases of the VRE programme, being particularly inspired by the myExperiment project, and also incorporates emerging Web 2.0 and Cloud Computing technologies and methods, in an approach that could be termed “Research 2.0”.

A new VRE Framework will be created through the integration of the Portal Access Grid (PAG) into and joining together existing VREs, which are based on JSR-168 standard portal environments such as Sakai.

It will achieve this by building on the Research Information Centre (RIC) developed for bioscience researchers by the British Library and Microsoft Corporation [1]. Within this project we will leverage the work that is underway in a Microsoft funded project on cancer imaging [2] and expand the RIC to include the capability to adopt and adapt imaging algorithms through the use of the Microsoft Trident workflow tool.

We will analyse and describe how the VRE can be flexibly used to support collaborations within and outside the university.
