SHARE to Offer Webinar for Developers on Querying SHARE Data Set of Research Events | Association of Research Libraries® | ARL®

"The SHARE team is hosting a free webinar for the higher education and library developer community on Thursday, 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. While the SHARE team concentrates on its primary objective to enhance and enrich the data itself, we call on the open source community—particularly in libraries—to build tools for discovery and integration. 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 ..."
