Rationale
The RDA Scholarly Link Exchange Working Group (follow up of the RDA/WDS Publishing Data Services WG) aims to enable a comprehensive global view of the links between scholarly literature and data. The WG leverages existing work and international initiatives to work towards a global information commons by establishing an interoperability framework with guidelines and standards to enable exchange of scholarly links. To this aim, the WG aims to reach a significant consensus by (i) providing support for communities of practice and implementation and (ii) establishing pathfinder services.
The main results of the WG is the Scholix initiative, whose efforts aim to build an open information ecosystem to understand systematically what data underpins literature and what literature references data. Scholix is a community-driven interoperability framework with buy-in from publishers, datacentres/repositories, service providers, and peak bodies.
The next stage of the Scholix initiative has understandably focused on gathering a critical mass of information about the links between literature and data. Links are collected from publishers, data centres, and repositories and aggregated in the Data-Literature Interlinking Service to populate and openly expose to the world a scholarly communication graph - today counting 3.1M scholarly objects and 17M scholarly links. The service is in BETA and provides search & browse user interfaces as well as a set of REST APIs to query and access the underlying graph.
Today activities are focusing on establishing Scholix APIs at some of the most prominent aggregating scholarly object hubs, including CrossRef (for publishers), DataCite (for data centres), and OpenAIRE (for repositories).
Workshop objective
This workshop brings together a set of early adopters to test/validate these access services against the needs of the consumer applications. The objective is for early or prospective adopters to give feedback to the working group on enablers and barriers to adoption. It is envisaged that this meeting be a hands-on, solution-based meeting where barriers to integration are identified and addressed directly.
