+ # Ricgraph - Research in context graph
48
+
49
+ ## What is Ricgraph?
50
+
51
+ Ricgraph, also known as Research in context graph, enables the exploration of researchers,
52
+ teams, their results,
53
+ collaborations, skills, projects, and the relations between these items.
54
+
55
+ Ricgraph can store many types of items into a single graph.
56
+ These items can be obtained from various systems and from
57
+ multiple organizations. Ricgraph facilitates reasoning about these
58
+ items because it infers new relations between items,
59
+ relations that are not present in any of the separate source systems.
60
+ It is flexible and extensible, and can be
61
+ adapted to new application areas.
62
+
63
+ ## Motivation
64
+
65
+ Ricgraph is software that is about
66
+ relations between items. These items can be collected from various source
67
+ systems and from multiple organizations. We
68
+ explain how Ricgraph works by applying it to the application area
69
+ *research information*. We show the insights that can be
70
+ obtained by combining information from various source systems,
71
+ insight arising from new relations that are not present
72
+ in each separate source system.
73
+
74
+ *Research information* is about anything related to research: research
75
+ results, the persons in a research team, their
76
+ collaborations, their skills, projects in which they have
77
+ participated, as well as the relations between these entities.
78
+ Examples of *research results* are publications, data sets, and software.
79
+
80
+ The following sections show three use cases
81
+ that use different types of information (called *items*):
82
+ researchers, skills, publications,
83
+ etc. Most often, these types of information are not stored in
84
+ one system, so the use cases may be difficult or
85
+ time-consuming to answer. However, by using Ricgraph, these
86
+ use cases (and many others) are easy to answer, as will be
87
+ explained throughout this documentation.
88
+
89
+ Although this documentation illustrates Ricgraph in the application area
90
+ research information, the principle “relations
91
+ between items from various source systems” is general,
92
+ so Ricgraph can be used in other application areas.
93
+
94
+ ### Use case for a journalist
95
+ As a journalist, I want to find researchers with a certain skill S and their publications,
96
+ so that I can interview them for a newspaper article.
97
+ Example skills can be: *climate change* or *stem cells*.
98
+ The items surrounded by the red line are the solution to this use case.
99
+
100
+ <!--
101
+ The 'width=...' in the lines below to include a figure are necessary for
102
+ the documentation generated with Quarto, a.o. for the documentation website.
103
+ We will need a width instead of a height to prevent right margin overflows
104
+ on small mobile screens.

+
109
+ ### Use case for a librarian
110
+ As a librarian, I want to enrich my local research information system with research results
111
+ from person A that are in other systems (in orange, *RIS2*) but not in
112
+ ours (in green, *RIS1*), so that we have a more complete view of research at our university.
113
+ The items surrounded by the red line are the solution to this use case.

116
+
117
+ ### Use case for a researcher
118
+ As a researcher A, I want to find researchers from other universities that have
119
+ co-authored publications written by the co-authors of my own publications,
120
+ so that I can read their publications to find out if we share common research interests.
121
+ The items surrounded by the red line are the solution to this use case.

+ # Ricgraph - Research in context graph
23
+
24
+ ## What is Ricgraph?
25
+
26
+ Ricgraph, also known as Research in context graph, enables the exploration of researchers,
27
+ teams, their results,
28
+ collaborations, skills, projects, and the relations between these items.
29
+
30
+ Ricgraph can store many types of items into a single graph.
31
+ These items can be obtained from various systems and from
32
+ multiple organizations. Ricgraph facilitates reasoning about these
33
+ items because it infers new relations between items,
34
+ relations that are not present in any of the separate source systems.
35
+ It is flexible and extensible, and can be
36
+ adapted to new application areas.
37
+
38
+ ## Motivation
39
+
40
+ Ricgraph is software that is about
41
+ relations between items. These items can be collected from various source
42
+ systems and from multiple organizations. We
43
+ explain how Ricgraph works by applying it to the application area
44
+ *research information*. We show the insights that can be
45
+ obtained by combining information from various source systems,
46
+ insight arising from new relations that are not present
47
+ in each separate source system.
48
+
49
+ *Research information* is about anything related to research: research
50
+ results, the persons in a research team, their
51
+ collaborations, their skills, projects in which they have
52
+ participated, as well as the relations between these entities.
53
+ Examples of *research results* are publications, data sets, and software.
54
+
55
+ The following sections show three use cases
56
+ that use different types of information (called *items*):
57
+ researchers, skills, publications,
58
+ etc. Most often, these types of information are not stored in
59
+ one system, so the use cases may be difficult or
60
+ time-consuming to answer. However, by using Ricgraph, these
61
+ use cases (and many others) are easy to answer, as will be
62
+ explained throughout this documentation.
63
+
64
+ Although this documentation illustrates Ricgraph in the application area
65
+ research information, the principle “relations
66
+ between items from various source systems” is general,
67
+ so Ricgraph can be used in other application areas.
68
+
69
+ ### Use case for a journalist
70
+ As a journalist, I want to find researchers with a certain skill S and their publications,
71
+ so that I can interview them for a newspaper article.
72
+ Example skills can be: *climate change* or *stem cells*.
73
+ The items surrounded by the red line are the solution to this use case.
74
+
75
+ <!--
76
+ The 'width=...' in the lines below to include a figure are necessary for
77
+ the documentation generated with Quarto, a.o. for the documentation website.
78
+ We will need a width instead of a height to prevent right margin overflows
79
+ on small mobile screens.

83
+
84
+ ### Use case for a librarian
85
+ As a librarian, I want to enrich my local research information system with research results
86
+ from person A that are in other systems (in orange, *RIS2*) but not in
87
+ ours (in green, *RIS1*), so that we have a more complete view of research at our university.
88
+ The items surrounded by the red line are the solution to this use case.

91
+
92
+ ### Use case for a researcher
93
+ As a researcher A, I want to find researchers from other universities that have
94
+ co-authored publications written by the co-authors of my own publications,
95
+ so that I can read their publications to find out if we share common research interests.
96
+ The items surrounded by the red line are the solution to this use case.
