interworking potentials
LSF and HISinOne• all information (potentially) available via
XML/Web services• schema standardization (TODO … EuroCRIS…)• large variations in usage and data quality
– good for information shared with other processes (human resources, organizational structure…)
– not so good for information, where usage is not well defined
14HIS Hochschul-Informations-System GmbH
cooperation models
• no licence costs, community/open source
• mandatory support contracts, implementation and consulting projects
• internationally: preferably partnering with similar organizations
