Ontotext’s GraphDB Powers Springer Nature’s New Linked Open Data Platform - EIN News

"We at Ontotext are delighted to announce that one of the world’s most renowned scientific publishers, Springer Nature (http://www.springernature.com/gp/), has selected our industry-leading semantic graph database GraphDB™ (http://ontotext.com/products/graphdb/) to power its new Linked Open Data platform. 

Springer Nature, which has an annual turnover of EUR 1.5 billion, has picked Ontotext’s GraphDB as a scalable semantic graph database to use in its new LOD platform SciGraph (http://www.springernature.com/gp/researchers/scigraph) that aggregates sources from Springer Nature and key partners from the scholarly domain. With its ability to handle massive loads, queries and inferencing in real time, GraphDB is powering Springer Nature SciGraph to contain 1.5-2 billion triples. Ontotext’s technology helps Springer Nature’s LOD platform to initially collate high-quality data from trusted and reliable sources from across the research landscape, such as funders, research projects, conferences, affiliations, and publications. Thanks to semantic technologies, Linked Open Data and the GraphDB semantic database, all these data are connected in a way which semantically describe and visualize how the information is interlinked. GraphDB’s capability to seamlessly integrate disparate data silos allows Springer Nature SciGraph to comprise metadata from journals and articles, books and chapters, organizations, institutions, funders, research grants, patents, clinical trials, substances, conference series, events, citations and reference networks, Altmetrics, and links to research datasets."
