We want to tell the story of how persistent identifiers can help in a data enrichment workflow and enable linking data to provide a well structured and complete dataset from end to end, for the benefit of the Open Data community. We will talk about how GRID organisation IDs are used to untangle scientific affiliation strings and help build the Linked Open Data platform SN SciGraph.
By using persistent identifier in this Linked Open Data knowledge graph we can showcase the influence and importance of Open Access publishing, for example by providing an overview of Open Access publications of an organisation. Additionally, we can show how Open Access publications are related to funding, or in what areas of research Open Access research is especially prominent.
How would you run the session to support the spirit of PIDapalooza as a laid-back, welcoming, energetic and exciting meeting, and ensure at least 10 minutes of your session are used to interact with the audience?
We would like to start off our talk by linking (with) the audience. We do connect individuals in the audience with a link that share a common attribute, like the day they arrived, the country they come from or the number of PIDapalooza festivals they have been to, etc. This as an real-life exercise that resembles how we linked the data that is available on SN SciGraph as an introduction to our talk.
