| Abstract | Since 2006, Flanders Hydraulics (FH) has been using IMIS (Integrated Modular Information System) of VLIZ (Flanders Marine Institute) to manage the FH research output and library collection by means of metadata and making it available via a search interface (= library catalogue which links to the Open FH Archive (institutional repository)).The time had come, however, not only to make this research output more visible apart from our catalogue, but also to make it more searchable. The latter was achieved by adding knowledge domains to our output.The result is the creation of an expert platform with dashboard in which our output can be queried to the maximum extent.Via extensive search functions and filtering you can also search the work of FH researchers thematically by knowledge domains. The platform integrates all relevant information on water-related FH research. In a very concrete way, the literature record of a report, book or article provides access to a wide range of related information. You can discover, for example, in which framework actions were undertaken (project info), who did research on the subject, with what expertise (personal and institutional metadata), what the scientific output of a project was (publications, datasets), whether a congress was organised around this topic (events), etc.In the coming years, the dataset module will be further adapted to FH needs regarding our RDM policy and we are already thinking aloud about the implementation of an infrastructure module and altmetrics functionality.Since 2018, FH also provides its metadata to Flanders Research Information Space, a regional portal about researchers and their research in Flanders. This portal will in time act as a transit for exchange with the European Open Science Cloud and therefore maximizes accessibility and visibility of water-related research. |
