Abstract

The novel e-Science’s data-centric paradigm has proved that interlinking publications and research data objects coming from different realms and data sources (e.g. publication repositories, data repositories) makes dissemination, re-use, and validation of research activities more effective. Scholarly Communication Infrastructures (SCIs) are advocated for bridging such data sources by offering an overlay of services for identification, creation, and navigation of relationships among objects of different nature. Since realization and maintenance of such infrastructures is in general very cost-consuming, in this paper we propose a lightweight approach for “preliminary analysis of data source interlinking” to help practitioners at evaluating whether and to what extent realizing them can be effective. We present Data Searchery, a configurable tool delivering a service for relating objects across data sources, be them publications or research data, by identifying relationships between their metadata descriptions in real-time.
