# Data model
|
|
|
|
The OpenAIRE Graph comprises several types of [entities](../category/entities) and [relationships](/category/relationships) among them.
|
|
|
|
The latest version of the JSON schema can be found on the [Downloads](../downloads/full-graph) section.

The figure above, presents the graph's data model.
|
|
Its main entities are described in brief below:
|
|
|
|
* [Research products](./entities/research-product) represent the outcomes (or products) of research activities.
|
|
* [Data sources](./entities/data-source) are the sources from which the metadata of graph objects are collected.
|
|
* [Organizations](./entities/organization) correspond to companies or research institutions involved in projects,
|
|
responsible for operating data sources or consisting the affiliations of Product creators.
|
|
* [Projects](./entities/project) are research project grants funded by a Funding Stream of a Funder.
|
|
* [Communities](./entities/community) are groups of people with a common research intent (e.g. research infrastructures, university alliances).
|
|
* Persons correspond to individual researchers who are involved in the design, creation or maintenance of research products. Currently, this is a non-materialized entity type in the Graph, which means that the respective metadata (and relationships) are encapsulated in the author field of the respective research products.
