Performance-Based Research Fund portfolios

stuart yeatse made this Official Information request to Tertiary Education Commission

The request was partially successful.

From: stuart yeatse

Dear Tertiary Education Commission,

This is a request, under the official information act for the following details of portfolios submitted under the Performance-Based Research Fund.

Terminology used in this request is taken from the PBRF Schema Definition http://www.tec.govt.nz/assets/Forms-temp... I request the data in XML format that meets the schema definition to the extent possible while excluding fields I have explicitly asked to be excluded. Raw SQL dump or similar is also acceptable, as is a spreadsheet of flattened data, if all the data and relationships are present and can be read programmatically.

(1) All evidence portfolios (including evidence portfolio components, panels and etc) where ‘ContainsConfidentialResearch’ is false that have not been marked as deleted, including all fields, excluding name and date of birth.

(2) All researchers, including all fields, excluding name and date of birth.

(3) All researchers, including all fields, excluding date of birth, where the researcher is part of an evidence portfolios where ‘ContainsConfidentialResearch’ is true that have not been marked as deleted.

The following requested information does not naturally fit with the schema, so any directly machine readable format (CSV, Word, Excell, etc) is acceptable (image-based PDF or similar is not).

(4) For each TEO contributing to PBRF:
(a) The name of the TEO,
(b) A count of the number of evidence portfolios submitted where ‘ContainsConfidentialResearch’ is true
(c) A count of the number of evidence portfolios submitted where ‘ContainsConfidentialResearch’ is false
(d) A count of the number of evidence portfolios submitted that have been marked as deleted.
(e) A list of EvidencePortfolioID’s submitted by the TEO

(5) For each evidence portfolio:
(a) The associated Researcher name fields
(b) Any and all associated Researcher LocalIdentifier fields
(c) Any and all associated MainResearchObject URI fields
(d) Any and all associated SupportingObjectURI fields
(e) Any and all associated Bibliographic details/Description fields

Cheers
Stuart Yeates

Dear Caroline Slight,

I'm aware of the rules around OIA requests. You may or may not be aware that I have another request at https://fyi.org.nz/request/6652-photos-t... which was also road blocked on the personal information issue until I successfully appealed to the Office of the Ombudsman.

I am aware that you may not be able to provide some specific fields of the schema. I am also aware that much of the data in the schema is a very expensively aggregated aggregation of already published information (and bibliographic information for already published documents) I believe that given the cost involved in the aggregation there is a clear public benefit in as much as possible being released as openly as possible.

I'm happy to discuss which fields and cases you believe might be covered be exemptions in the act.

I prefer to communicate through this website, thank you.

Regarding bullet (d) "A count of the number of evidence portfolios submitted that have been marked as deleted.” reading page 10 of the schema referenced in the request it says "If a second EP is received for a researcher (where the EvidencePortfolioIDs is different), it will not be accepted unless the first has been flagged as deleted." I assumed that this meant that you held some which were marked as deleted. If I was wrong, and you hold no EPs marked deleted, this column could be all '0'

Yours sincerely,

stuart yeates
