SHARE, a higher education initiative, which aims to maximise research impact by making research widely accessible, discoverable, and reusable, is hosting a free webinar for the higher education and library developer community on March 17, 2016, at 2:00–3:30 p.m. EDT. Erin Braswell from the Center for Open Science—and SHARE's primary developer—will introduce the SHARE application programming interface (API), present how to perform queries and visualizations with the data, and discuss potential uses for the data in universities and libraries, such as querying the data set for new research from your institution.
SHARE is a free, open data set about research and scholarly activity across the life cycle. With an open, common API and more than 5 million records of research release events harvested from nearly 100 digital repositories, this community can use SHARE to power scholarly discovery and collaboration, and to gain new insight into knowledge networks.
In this 90-minute webinar, Erin Braswell will present three tutorials she has developed using open source technology—Python to access and query the SHARE API and Jupyter Notebooks to create and share documents containing live code: SHARE API Basics, Complex Queries and Basic Visualization, and SHARE Data in the Wide World
Interested parties may register for this free webinar and learn how to make the most of the SHARE data set.
Brought to you by Scope e-Knowledge Center, a world-leading provider of abstraction, indexing, entity extraction and knowledge organisation models (Taxonomies, Thesauri and Ontologies).
