Presented by Helena Cousijn (FREYA) during the OpenAIRE workshop "Research policy monitoring in the era of Open Science and Big Data" taking place in Ghent, Belgium on May 27th and 28th 2019 Day 1: Monitoring and Infrastructure for Open Science https://www.openaire.eu/research-policy-monitoring-in-the-era-of-open-science-and-big-data-the-what-indicators-and-the-how-infrastructures

1. FREYA in a nutshell
• FREYA = persistent identifiers
• “… iteratively extend a robust environment for Persistent
Identifiers (PIDs) into a core component of the European
Open Science Cloud and global research e-infrastructures”
• Builds on THOR (Technical and Human Infrastructure for Open
Research: 2015-2017)
• Which in turn built on ODIN (ORCID and DataCite
Interoperability Network: 2012-2014)
• Started 1 December 2017
• https://www.project-freya.eu/en

3. PID Graph
The PID Graph is a network of connections between PIDs
based on a collection of user stories.

4. What can we ask the PID Graph?
• Open science practices:
- Show how many researchers in a country have an ORCID
- Show how many publications from a particular funder have an open access
license
- Show the number of non-traditional research outputs for an institution
• To move towards indicators, we want to enable queries about:
- Changes over time
- Different disciplines
- Different actors and countries
• Thinking about impact:
- The PID graph also contains information about usage, citations and social
media mentions
- E.g. Show all datasets created by a particular researcher and their usage
stats
