Role of identifiers
● (D:Datacite:Dataset)--(P:CrossRef:Publication)
○ (doi) -- (doi)
● (D:Datacite:Dataset)--(P:CERN:Publication)
○ (doi) -- (doi)
● (D:Datacite:Dataset)--(R:CERN:Researcher) -- (P:CERN:Publication)
○ (doi) -- (inspireHepID) -- (doi)
● (D:DRYAD:Dataset)--(R:ORCID:Researcher)--(P:CERN:Publication)
○ (doi) -- (orcid) -- (doi)
● (g:ANDS:Grant)--(R:ANDS:Dataset)--(R:ORCID:Researcher)
○ (purl) -- (doi) -- (orcid)

Using Neo4j and RD-Switchboard
● match (n:dataset) where n.doi='10.4225/35/563159f223739' return n
● match (n:dataset)--(r:researcher) where n.doi='10.4225/35/563159f223739'
return r.first_name, r.last_name
● match (r:orcid:researcher) where r.first_name='David' and
r.last_name='Ellsworth' return r.orcid
Find all the publications by 3 degrees of separation
● match (n:dataset)-[*1..3]-(p:publication) where
n.doi='10.4225/35/563159f223739' return n.title limit 50

Impact of identifiers

14.
Impact of identifiers: DOI
Case A: match (d:dataset)--(m) where not exists(d.doi) return count(distinct(d))
Case B: match (d:dataset)--(m) where exists(d.doi) return count(distinct(d))

15.
Impact of identifiers: ORCID
Case A: match (r:researcher)--(m) where not exists(r.orcid) return count(distinct(r))
Case B: match (r:researcher)--(m) where exists(r.orcid) return count(distinct(r))

Summary
● President Identifiers has a crucial role in enabling connections in Research
Graph and enabling functionality of the Switchboard platform.
● Research Graph distributed graph currently more than ten million nodes from
CERN, Dryad, ORCID, figshare, ANDS, NII Japan, and a number of other
international partners. This data can be used for research in collaboration
networks.
● The Research Graph is an open collaborative project. If you are interested to
work with the project partners, please
