blog  PySciGraph: simple API for accessing SN SciGraph content.

Jun 2018

PySciGraph is a small open source Python library that makes it easier to access data from Springer Nature SciGraph. It is available on Pypi and Github. I created it mainly because I wanted to be able to quickly check from the command line whether an object exists in SN SciGraph, or what metadata it returns. But of course this could be developed further e.g. so to allow to navigate the graph by following links from one object to the other.


blog  SN SciGraph is part of the Linked Open Data Cloud 2018.

May 2018

The latest Linked Open Data (LOD) Cloud has been recently made available by the Insights Centre for Data Analytics. The LOD cloud is a visual representation of the datasets (and the links among them) that have been published according to the Linked Data principles - a web-friendly methodology for data sharing that encourages open schemas and data reuse.
