CERIF 2008 – 1.2 Semantics

The CERIF Semantics is one component of the CERIF 2008 – 1.2 Full Data Model (FDM). It aims at recommending a standardised formal semantics to be applied in the wider context of Current Research Information Systems (CRISs) with CERIF as the underlying data model to supply the relevant entities and their relationships. The semantic component in this version presents the current core semantics; that is, the types and roles considered relevant in a research context between the involved core entities. Compared to its preceding version, this release provides a major upgrade with respect to the quantity of relevant terms. CERIF is considered a standard; recommended by the European Union to its Member States
