SHARE, a Collaborative Open Dataset of Linked Metadata about Scholarly Research Outputs

SHARE is an academic community driven initiative which is addressing the need to maximize research impact by developing an open, structured dataset which links to a variety of outputs across the research lifecycle. This poster addresses the goals of SHARE, the development of its first service, SHARE Notify, upcoming work within the next phase of SHARE, and related efforts to the VIVO community.

SHARE is funded by Sloan and IMLS; led by ARL and COS; and co-sponsored by the AAU and APLU. SHARE is collaboratively building a dataset of linked metadata about research release events for all. This standards-based initiative is being developed by participants representing libraries, repositories, university administrations, publishers, and non-profit organizations.
