OpenAIRE is a European open-science infrastructure that aggregates metadata of research publications, datasets, software, and other outputs from thousands of repositories and data sources, making them discoverable through the OpenAIRE Explore portal. It underpins Horizon Europe open-access mandate compliance, linking research outputs to grants via funder identifiers. OpenAIRE operates the OpenAIRE Graph — a comprehensive linked-data graph of research outputs, funders, organisations, and researchers — and provides the OpenAIRE Monitor for institutional and funder dashboards. Zenodo is a partner repository that is OpenAIRE-compliant by default. For CASRAI, OpenAIRE is a key discoverability and compliance layer for European-funded research carrying CRediT contribution metadata.
What to use from CASRAI
Touchpoints
- 01ORCID iDs in deposited records — OpenAIRE harvests and exposes ORCID-linked metadata across the OpenAIRE Graph
- 02Grant-output linking — OpenAIRE connects research outputs to Horizon Europe and other EU grants via funder and project identifiers
- 03OpenAIRE Explore — discovery portal indexing metadata from compliant repositories; CRediT roles in harvested records appear in the contributor data
- 04Zenodo (OpenAIRE partner) — deposits to Zenodo automatically enter the OpenAIRE Graph with full contributor metadata
- 05OpenAIRE Monitor — institutional dashboards showing open-access compliance and output metadata, including contributor records
Setup
Integration steps
- 1Ensure your institutional repository or personal Zenodo deposits are OpenAIRE compliant (OAI-PMH harvesting enabled; correct grant metadata)
- 2Link each deposit to the relevant Horizon Europe or other EU grant using the project identifier in your repository's metadata form
- 3Include ORCID iDs for all contributors so OpenAIRE can link outputs to researcher profiles in the Graph
- 4Add ROR IDs for all institutional affiliations to enable institutional-level aggregation in OpenAIRE Monitor
- 5Register your repository with OpenAIRE (via share.openaire.eu) if it is not already harvested, to maximise discoverability
