Introducing the PURE User Community in Belgium

Abstract

The presentation introduces the Belgium Pure User Group, which includes the Free University of Brussels (VUB), the Institute for Nature and Forest Research (INBO), the Institute of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food Research (ILVO), the Institute of Tropical Medicine Antwerp (ITG), the Belgian Nuclear Research Centre (SCKEN) and the University of Namur besides a group of Pure users via the multitenant instance at EWI in Flanders (Botanic Garden Meise, Department of Environment and Health, ZOO-Koninklijke Maatschappij voor Dierkunde van Antwerpen and the Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp). Most of these Pure instances are in Flanders and have research information exchange mechanisms in place with FRIS, the Flemish Research Information Space, via a FRIS module in Pure developed by Elsevier. The Flemish discipline codes are also regularly used across all CRIS instances in Flanders.
