7. An open metadata research
graph of interlinked scientific
products, with access rights
information, linked to funding
information and research
communities
Graph: model for the representation of information
OpenAIRE uses it to represent objects in the scholarly communication domain and the relationships
that exist among them.
Edges of the graph are annotated with a label that specifies the semantics of the relationships
between two objects, each represented as a node in the graph.

25. Content Acquisition
Policy

26. Content Acquisition Policy
What data/metadata we collect How we process
• All scientific research products (literature,
dataset, software, other research products)
• Of all access levels (open, closed / metadata
only)
• With a minimal quality conditions under which
metadata can be accepted
• It’s important that the access level of a record
is made clear (preferably by an access level
statement on record level; alternately by the
use of specific OAI-sets)
• Each record must contain a PID (or URL) that
resolves to a splash page
OpenAIRE have expanded the scope to accept the metadata records of all scientific
products whose structure respect the model and semantics as expressed by the
OpenAIRE guidelines.
