The OpenScience dataset

Abstract

The OpenScience dataset comprises of metadata and author data of diploma, master and doctoral theses and research publications of Slovenian universities (http://openscience.si/). It is accesed on http://www.openscience.si/OpenData.aspx. Publications are uniquely identified by their National Repository IDentification number (NRID). The base URI is "http://openscience.si/rdf/resource/" followed by their NRID. Authors are identified by their internal identification number (ID). The base URI is "http://openscience.si/rdf/author/" followed by their ID. Note that not all properties will be defined for every resource, as some data may be missing or is otherwise unavailable. Furthermore, some data may be incomplete, incomprehensible or even incorrect. The problem stems from the fact that the data was aggregated from different sources which use different systems for cataloguing works as well as possible human errors while cataloguing.
