CVN project: format for the exchange and running of the research staff curriculums
José Navarrete Cortés, Phd
Project Origin
Starting Point Meeting November 8, 2005 at Anep (Prospective and Assessment National Agency)Objective: Setting up of an Information Exchange Format.
1st Stage of an Ambitious Project
Identification of one of the Critical Factors leading to Success
- Do not insert information already stored in any database or digital file
- Take advantage of the Existing SIC in the Autonomous Regions
– Andalusia more than 14% %– Cataluña more than 22% – Madrid more than 22% %– Etc..
CVN Project Definition CVN attempts to solve one of the obstacles which hinder
researcher integral development within the Spanish Science-Technology-Enterprise System.
Currently, information about researchers in Spain shows a scattered view. Data records are neither standardised nor they can be exported. Despite this, they bear a high management cost.
R&D&I Curricular Information
The researcher is continuously requested a new curriculum and not and updated one
A lot of unexploited information is created
Information is scattered throughout different systems of different entities
Scattering produces: duplicities, inaccuracy, etc.
Its format is difficult to be exported (doc, pdf, …)
The different curricular “models” register a non-standardised information (despite the advance produced by IV standardised model proposed by CYCIT)
Guidelines for its development
As for curricular information:- It must be the result of an agreement among entities
- It must allow for one single curricular “language”
- It must facilitate the updating, communication and or spread of information in one single exchange format and with a minimum participation on the part of the researcher
- It must be capable of synchronizing the existing information systems of the Spanish Science-Technology-Enterprise System (SECTE)
- It must enable the flow and use of information
- It must reduce management costs
Guidelines for its development
On the part of the researcher:- To preserve the existing contents and so, initial work is minimized
- Once the researcher is registered, he will be only requested to update data
- Data disclosure among entities must be carried out under the researcher’s authorization
- The researcher must let anyone know his/her area of expertise so that new opportunities may arise

Analyzed Systems4
Stage I: Year 2005-2006
Objetives accomplished in 2006:
Analysis and modelling of curricular items
Definition of CVN structured format (CVN-XML)
Stage II: Year 2007
Objectives:
Creation of a Support Unit for CVN:
- Service for the support and Quality Control both of the Process and the CVN Standard
- Creation of the R&D&I Directory
- Creation of value-added services for the flow and use (R&D&I Directory)
Changes in the computer systems of SECTE entities for their adjustment
Creation of a “consortium for the management of the curricular standard system”
R&D&I Directory
Objectives:
1. To channel the scientific production spread through the different commercial databases in one single data file.
2. To create a platform to which local SIC can consult to increase their databases with institutional or regional production.
1. Development of a unit aimed at the identification and standardisation of both authors and institutions
2. By means of the creation of monitoring systems
3. To provide an homogeneous format suitable for being exported.
4. To create basic functions for CV exploitation addressed to both the researcher and the institution.
Consortium model for the management of the curricular standard system

Results and Experience Colection
1. Whatever result of Any experience (research, professional, teaching and academic experience) share the same series of similar characteristics for their description.
2. These characteristics or attributes have a descriptive function which is different among them but common to every type of result.

Curricular Items
Stage of Synthesis.
Experts detect more than 70 different curricular items.
After the synthesis stage they are reduced to 24
