NCI Research Graph
The NCI Research Graph was one of the first working deployments of the Research Graph Augment API. The National Computational Infrastructure (NCI) in Australia hosted more than 10 petabytes of research data collections on its high-performance file systems, beside its high-performance computing resources. With the Augment API, NCI built a connected graph of the links between its research datasets, publications, researcher profiles and grants, across research repositories and infrastructures such as DataCite and ORCID.
This page is a record of the completed NCI project. Its figures are the ones the project published, and they are no longer updated.
What the project built
- publications, including 2,569 augmented nodes
- 2,593
- datasets, including 8 augmented nodes
- 562
- researchers, including 32 augmented nodes
- 113
Almost every publication, 2,569 of 2,593, came into the graph through augmentation, which drew them from the global network of scholarly works.
The open graph
The project released the complete graph as open data. It holds 3,268 nodes and 6,402 connections, and remains available for download in GraphML format.
