Data Provider Manifests​

Administrative Information​

This section provides an overview of all data sources integrated into the knowledge graph. The configuration files are organized by their respective data providers and consist of two main sections.

The first section follows the format:

harvested entity:
  name: 
  contact: 
  provider: 
  providerType:

It contains manually curated information, primarily sourced from the data provider’s website (if available).

If the name field does not include at least an abbreviation of the provider, one is added manually. The provider field is populated with a ROR ID corresponding to the associated research organization. The providerType field uses a controlled vocabulary and may take one of the following values:

  • publication database
  • event database
  • data repository
  • organization metadata database
  • research information system

Technical Information​

The second section contains technical details about the endpoints harvested for the knowledge graph:

data_sources:
  - endpoint: 
    harvester type:
    parameters:
  • specifies the URL from which data is retrieved.
  • harvester type indicates the harvester used within the data pipeline.
  • parameters define technical settings. For further details on their usage and rationale, refer to the corresponding codebase in the gitlab repository can be checked.
