Abstract
The CERIF TG Toolbox facilitates maintenance of the Common European Research Information Format (CERIF) - the world's most advanced standard for representing information about research. CERIF is maintained euroCRIS (http://www.eurocris.org/), a not-for-profit association of research information management professionals.
The CERIF TG Toolbox can generate the CERIF-XML Schemas from the database model (maintained as the *.dmx file of TOAD Data Modeler), both original style (one namespace/schema per CERIF entity) and the updated style (introduced 2012: a common namespace, one schema, embedding). It can also generate the CERIF-XML instance documents (updated style) of the CERIF Semantic Layer entities, based on a *.xls or *.xlsx file.
While being most useful to the CERIF Task Group member who prepares a CERIF release, it is of use to anyone who wants to experiment with CERIF extensions. The software is written in Java and XSLT.
