8 Challenges Data providers - Multitude of data providers with different environments - Self-designed / commercial - CRIS system / (integrated) system of databases, repositories - Implementation of data governance, and creation of a business layer - Recording of business concepts, semantics and representations in institutions - Semantics (not) (yet) in place - Achieve alignment of business concepts, semantics & representations between organizations and FRIS, linked via formal relations - Definition of required business concepts - Collaborative manner

9 Technology Application Business Challenges Data providers - Connection of the business layer with the database layer within and between organizations - Collaborative manner

10 Metamodel & institution-specific models Used with the permission of G. Van Grootel, EWI

11 Collaborative manner Machine readable manner

13 Challenges Classification governance - Financial codes - Science disciplines - Technology domains - Publications

14 Funding case Research Funding: Persons, Projects, Consortia, Obtained via many Funding Sources Organisation Program Grant Funding Sources Identified by Funding Codes Functional Classifications - code generations Classified in different ways Mostly by Code Schemes Accounting Codes Money Stream Codes

15 New Funding model and classification Collaborative manner Machine readable
