Core entity: Datasource¶
A Datasource is here intended as the (metadata) description/representation of a provider exporting (meta)data about scholarly communication objects.
Based on the typology of the provider and of the exported material, a Datasource is classified according to the categorization defined by the vocabulary dnet:datasource_typologies vocabulary
Datasources can be collected from Datasources of type "Entity Registry".
| Property | Type | Multiplicity | Description |
| Type | Structured(-, Qualifier, -) | 0..1 | Typology of the datasource. For an updated list of possible typologies refer to the Qualifier.scheme dnet:datasource_typologies |
| OpenAIRE compatibility | Structured(-, Qualifier, -) | 0..1 | Compatibility of the datasource with respect to the OpenAIRE Guidelines. Qualifier.scheme is dnet:datasourceCompatibilityLevel |
| Official name | Structured(String,-,Provenance) | 0..1 | |
| English name | Structured(String,-,Provenance) | 0..1 | |
| Web site url | Structured(String,-,Provenance) | 0..1 | |
| Logo url | Structured(String,-,Provenance) | 0..1 | |
| Email contact | Structured(String,-,Provenance) | 0..1 | |
| Namespace Prefix | Structured(String,-,Provenance) | 0..1 | |
| Latitude | Structured(String,-,Provenance) | 0..1 | |
| Longitude | Structured(String,-,Provenance) | 0..1 | |
| Date of validation | Structured(Date,-,Provenance) | 0..1 | |
| Descritpion | Structured(String,-,Provenance) | 0..1 | |
| Subject | Structured(String,Qualifier,Provenance) | 1..N | the scientific discipline covered by the Datasource. The Qualifier part specifies the subject classification scheme the value belongs to. The list of supported subject classification schemes is defined in Qualifier.scheme dnet:subject_classification_typologies |
| Relationship | Target | Multiplicity | Description |
| CollectedFrom | Datasource | 1..N | A Datasource from which this Datasource has been collected (e.g. an entity registry such as OpenDOAR and re3data) |
| Datasource_Organization | Organization | 0..N | The Organization related to this Datasource. For example, if the Datasource is an institutional repository, the institution served by the repository is the related Organization |
The two major entity registries providing Datasources for Publication repositories and data repositories are, respectively, OpenDOAR and re3data. Datasources collected from those two entity registries feature more detailed information (see subclasses OpenDOAR Datasource and re3data Datasource).
