The 140th GIST Seminar: "OpenAIRE Graph: Supporting Research Intelligence through Open Data"

GiST (GRIPS Innovation, Science and Technology Policy Program) is hosting this lecture to introduce the OpenAIRE Graph, a large-scale open scholarly knowledge graph designed to support research in fields such as scientometrics, science and technology policy studies, and research intelligence. It begins with an overview of OpenAIRE and the background of the development of the OpenAIRE Graph, followed by a description of its key features, including the data model, data aggregation workflow, and design and operational principles grounded in open science.

The OpenAIRE Graph provides structured and semantically enriched metadata that interlinks research outputs--such as publications, datasets, and software--with authors, research institutions, projects, and funding information through explicit semantic relationships. This integrated structure enables advanced analytical capabilities, including the study of research dynamics, visualization of funding flows, mapping of collaboration networks, assessment of scholarly impact, and monitoring of progress in open science.

The lecture concludes by presenting concrete use cases and analytical examples demonstrating how the OpenAIRE Graph serves as an open research information infrastructure that supports research assessment, research monitoring, and strategic decision-making.

This seminar will be held in a hybrid format, both in person and online. For those participating online, the Zoom connection details will be sent by email by the day before the seminar.

Moderator: Dr. Honami Numajiri, Assistant Professor at the Research and Development Laboratory, Kyoto University Library, Kyoto University (in charge of Open Science research)

Speaker: Dr. Andrea Mannocci, OpenAIRE Graph Data Scientist (OpenAIRE) & Staff researcher (CNR-ISTI)
