This document discusses the Research Data Switchboard project, which aims to enable cross-platform discovery between research data services by automating the process of connecting identifiers like DOIs, ORCIDs, and grants. It provides examples of how machines could search the research graph to link related research outputs and data across platforms using identifiers and shortest path algorithms.
