The Scholix Framework and the
OpenAIRE Scholexplorer Service
2Linking Datasets and the Literature: why?
Why linking?
1. Increase visibility & discoverability
of research data (and articles)
2. Support credit attribution
mechanisms
3. Facilitate reproducibility, i.e. place
research data in the right context to
enable proper re-use.
Linking Research Data with the Literature is of great value, yet
current solutions are not realizing the potential
Examples
• Some data repositories keep track
of articles that cite, or refer to, their
data
• Some publishers have applications
to link articles with data hosted
externally
• Providers of bibliographic
information and infrastructure
providers are taking efforts to
“connect the dots”
3Sharing Scholarly Communication Links
Sources are not interoperable (publishers, data
centers, repositories, infrastructure providers, …)
1. Different PID systems (DOI, accession numbers)
2. Different ways of referencing data (formal citations,
in-text references, …)
3. Different moments of citing data (at submission, at
publication, post publication, …)
4. No agreement on link representation and sharing…

approach to bring these together
▪ : a high-level interoperability
framework for enabling exchange of scholarly
links between literature and data
▪Connecting technical linking solutions by
providing an overarching framework with
practical guidelines, underpinned by a common
vision
▪An enabler of services e.g.
▪Global aggregation
▪ Impact evaluation

▪A framework for aligning the exchange of scholarly link
information between scholarly infrastructure providers
• Information Model for scholarly links representation
• Recommendation and provision of exchange
formats (XML/JSON schema) and protocols

Extend your existing metadata feed to e.g.,
▪ DataCite
▪ CrossRef
▪ OpenAIRE
▪ Expose your links using the Scholix
Guidelines
▪ Register as a provider (implementor) to be
included in the Scholexplorer aggregation
Option 1:
Feed your links to an
existing Scholix hub
Option 2:
Become a Scholix content
provider
How to join in?
20How to join in?
▪ Use the information from the Scholix hubs in
your own service, e.g. resolution of PIDs to
identify links, build application-specific
information graphs
Option 3:
Develop/enhance a third-
party service
▪ Help expand and document the Scholix
Guidelines or to take them into new areas.
Option 4:
Help develop the guidelines
