An attempt to create a sustainable data repository and CRIS using a bespoke application
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This presentation will introduce a use case of merging and migrating an existing institutional repository and researcher directory database to a new bespoke application. National Institute for Materials Science has been providing Materials Data Repository (MDR, https://mdr.nims.go.jp) and NIMS researchers directory database SAMURAI (https://samurai.nims.go.jp) for several years. They were developed and maintained separately for several years, but it has been much more difficult for the system administrators to maintain both services due to an emerging demand for immediate open access and a shortage of IT engineers. To solve the problem, we decided to develop a new CRIS application "MDR2" and merge those two applications into the new application. This presentation will describe why we decided to migrate and merge those two application and how we designed the new data repository and CRIS application to simplify our implementation.
