Agenda
- Muhammad Javed will demonstrate OpenHarvester, a tool for importing publication data from open APIs.
Institutions that do not have subscription to large abstract and citation indexing sources, it is challenging for them to manage their publications and building faculty profiles from open data (such as CVs, websites etc.). There are a number of open APIs available to search, harvest and download citation metadata. Few of these citation APIs are CrossRef, PubMed and DBLP APIs.
Javed from Cornell University will present OpenHarvester - an interactive tool that process result sets, harvested using above mentioned open APIs, and uses a simple algorithm that refines the result set using a recursive approach.
This is a preliminary work. The prototype works in two (separate) steps i.e., first downloading potential publications for a person from a database and second processing the result set and claiming the precise publications. Claimed publications can then be saved in RDF and pushed to a VIVO instance.
