The OpenAIRE Graph is an open access scholarly knowledge graph (SKG) resulting from the aggregation of research entity metadata records
(properties and links) from thousands of scholarly communication data sources
(institutional, thematic, data, software repositories, publisher archives, scientific databases, funder databases, etc.).
Funders, organizations, researchers, research communities and publishers can freely use the OpenAIRE Graph to monitor, discover, and navigate the open science record as a whole.
From open and authoritative sources around
the globe.
Why OpenAIRE 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 Graph to collect information about publications and
research data resulting from H2020 funded projects.
ORCID data is used to enrich the research product records of the OpenAIRE Graph. Through EXPLORE,
ORCID users can instantly identify their works, enrich the OpenAIRE Graph and their ORCID profiles.
