OpenAIRE Research Graph is an open resource that aggregates a collection of research data properties
(metadata, links) available within the OpenAIRE Open Science infrastructure for funders, organizations,
researchers, research communities and publishers to interlink information by using a semantic graph database
approach.
From open and authoritative sources around
the globe.
Why OpenAIRE Research Graph
Unlock the power of open science data
Open and transparent
It is available for download and re-use as CC-BY (due to some input sources whose
license is CC-BY); parts of the graphs can be re-used as CC-0; provenance is tracked at the level of the
records and, when these are the result of full-text mining, of the properties (provenance also includes
an indicator of trust, in the range [0..1]).
Decentralized and interoperable
Metadata and links are collected from data
sources, such as institutional/data/software repositories, publishers, registries, and re-distributed to
such sources via brokering services.
Intelligent linking
Abstracts, full-texts of Open Access publications and links
are processed by several algorithms that infer new links and enrich the graph.

Open Knowledge maps
VIPER, the Visual Project Explorer enables funders, institutions and researchers to systematically explore a
project’s output, and to understand its reception in different areas.
The EC Participant Portal is using the OpenAIRE Research Graph to collect information about publications and
datasets resulting from H2020 funded projects.
ORCID data is used to enrich the research product records of the OpenAIRE Research Graph. Through EXPLORE,
ORCID users can instantly identify their works, enrich the OpenAIRE Research Graph and their ORCID profiles.
