Knowledge

This space collects general knowledge about the knowledge items an extended CRIS like APICe deals with: the standards, protocols, vocabularies and conventions through which research products, people, events and venues are described, identified, exchanged and shown on the Web. Each page explains one item in general terms — what it is, who defined it, how it works and who uses it — independently of how APICe adopts it.

item	what it is
CRIS	current research information system: the information system with which a research organisation manages the information about its research
Dublin Core	the fifteen-element vocabulary that every repository speaks, and the common denominator of metadata harvesting
OAI-PMH	the protocol through which repositories let aggregators harvest their metadata automatically
Open Graph	the protocol through which a Web page tells social networks and messaging apps how to preview it when a link is shared
OpenAIRE	the European infrastructure for open science: the research graph, its guidelines, and how sources join it
schema.org	the shared vocabulary with which a Web page tells search engines what it is about, as typed, linked data
Zenodo	CERN's open repository for research outputs: drafts, DOIs, versions, access
