Migration of a Two-Decade-Old Institutional Repository Infoscience - EPFL Institutional Repository

2024

Abstract

This presentation outlines the transformation of EPFL’s institutional repository, Infoscience, through its migration to DSpace-CRIS, an open-source solution. The migration, in partnership with 4science, has improved compliance with FAIR principles and open access mandates, while integrating persistent identifiers like DOIs, ORCID, and RoR. The new entity-relationship model better represents EPFL’s research ecosystem—labs, units, researchers, and outputs. Enhanced metadata alignment with standards such as DC, Datacite, and Schema.org, along with integration of external sources like Web of Science, Scopus or Crossref, streamline researcher workflows. This case study highlights both the challenges and benefits of modernizing a repository to support evolving open science practices.

Institutional repository

An institutional repository is an archive for collecting, preserving, and disseminating digital copies of the intellectual output of an institution, particularly a research institution. Academics also utilize their IRs for archiving published works to increase their visibility and collaboration with other academics However, most of these outputs produced by universities are not effectively accessed and shared by researchers and other stakeholders As a result Academics should be involved in the implementation and development of an IR project so that they can learn the benefits and purpose of building an IR.

Open source

Open source is source code that is made freely available for possible modification and redistribution. Products include permission to use the source code, design documents, or content of the product. The open-source model is a decentralized software development model that encourages open collaboration. A main principle of open-source software development is peer production, with products such as source code, blueprints, and documentation freely available to the public.

Entity–relationship model

An entity–relationship model (or ER model) describes interrelated things of interest in a specific domain of knowledge. A basic ER model is composed of entity types (which classify the things of interest) and specifies relationships that can exist between entities (instances of those entity types). In software engineering, an ER model is commonly formed to represent things a business needs to remember in order to perform business processes.
