The article presents upgrades and features of the new SICRIS application version, based on updated trasfer of data from ARRS, migration to open source environment and updated web services. In 2022, the project of migration from the Windows platform (MS SQL, ASP.NET, IIS) to the Linux platform (PostgreSQL, Java EE, Wildfly) was completed.
The E-CRIS web applications representing research activities in countries that participate in the COBISS.Net system make it possible to access data in the XML format adjusted for communication among computers. Internal IZUM applications and different applications of scientific institutions access the data. In 2016, access to a wider data set in the JSON format was made possible.
A new online user interface SICRIS, V3, was developed. Responsive web design concepts and support for mobile devices and touchscreens on the basis of jQuery Mobile framework were taken into account. Public access allows all functionalities of the previous version, and some new functionalities, such as advanced search, were added.
A research field dealt with in a bibliographic source is not easily identifiable from the COBISS bibliographic data on Slovenian researchers. Keywords are the best way to identify research fields. Our aim was to sort (classify) keywords of researchers’ bibliographic units. To this end, we have chosen as the classifier the classification of the Slovenian Research Agency. A special attention has been devoted to the selection and preparation of texts intended for machine learning in order to achieve best results.
