Describe what experience/capacity you have in taking data from a variety of sources to create a single database.
SHARE is an open dataset of metadata about all research events. Research events include publications preprints trial registrations data deposits grant awards and researcher profiles. SHARE facilitates curation of research outputs and activities to be identified as elements of a single research activity. The curated SHARE data enhances search and discovery of research objects across the research lifecycle. The SHARE dataset can power search for any scholarly service. SHARE provides opportunity for innovation—by anyone—on communication visualization and dissemination of information about research events. As of April 2017 there were >25 million events in SHARE aggregated from ~150 sources. The SHARE database powers OSF’s aggregated preprint search and aggregated registry search. In partnership with the Association of Research Libraries curation associates are connecting related research events such as a preprint stored on bioRxiv with a dataset stored on Dryad with a publication appearing in an Elsevier journal with a grant award from NIH. With maturation of those curation tools The Commons will facilitate discovery of other activities related to the preprint wherever it is stored.
