Linking scholarly publications and research information in Primo

Access to scholarly research can be magnificent

Now and then you have to wait a bit for access

Sometimes there is just no way to get there

Primo: current situation

Bibliographic metadata formats usually don’t have fields for research information In Primo: Add-ons needed, two approaches: • Harvesting extra author and publication identifiers • Text mining + semantic analysis

Experiences Mannheim

● Metadata of research data and publications rarely contain links

● Many different reference styles ● References to research data mostly incomplete ● Integration can be very hard, e.g. adapting the

metadata format and performing transformations ● First evaluation result?

Experiences Amsterdam

● Local Amsterdam repository and CRIS not optimal for reuse and linking (yet)

● No references to research datasets, projects in local, national and global systems (yet)

● Research project information not available ● Library systems in general not equipped for

○ non-bibliographic information ○ processing linked data, RDF

● Primo CAN be used for this, with lots of extra work

Pros and Cons (Mannheim)

Pro ● Links can be easily

integrated, e.g. by using Enrichments

● Integration of

research data to have only one system

Con ● Fulltexts are needed to identify references ● Integration very costly

without standardized interface

Pros and Cons (Amsterdam)

Pro ● Identifiers are ready to

use ● Links can be easily

integrated ● Extra information can be

embedded in extra tab in UI, but with workarounds

Con ● Identifiers, RDF not

always available in data sources

● PNX format not suited

for research information

● Integration very costly

without standardized interface

Recommendations Ex Libris

Primo • Include non-bibliographic metadata in PNX

o (links section, additional data section, new research section?)

• Harvest RDF • Resolve RDF/URIs

o During normalisation (in PNX) o On the fly (in search result)

• Easily create extra tab with PNX data • Publish Primo Central index as linked open data • Primo Central: harvest research information

Recommendations Publishers, Aggregators

• Add additional references • Add additional metadata

o Publication ID o Author ID o Research project ID o Dataset ID

• Publish as Linked Open Data

Recommendations Researchers, Authors

• Proper citation of research data, e.g. by using unique identifiers like DOIs

• Publish and register research data as open as possible

● Many interesting ideas/projects:

○ OpenScience ○ DataCite ○ OpenAIRE ○ DCC ○ RD-A ○ W3C-ROSC
