auréHAL, unified access to HAL Listings

auréHAL is the management platform for the listings used by HAL: authors, research organisations, ANR and European projects, journals and disciplines.

It can be freely browsed and used via API.

  • Authors: surname, first name, email address, affiliated institution. When browsing an author file, the information he/she has added to his/her IdHAL (author identifiers like ORCID or IdRef, profiles on social networks, blog url) is visible.
  • Research organisations: it defines six types of structure that can be used to manage affiliations between them: grouping of institutions, institutions, grouping of laboratories, laboratories, departments, and research teams. Other metadata also includes name and acronym, postal addresses and url, identifiers like ROR, IdRef or RNSR.
  • Domains: list of disciplines in French and English. Cross-matches with arXiv domains are shown in inverted commas.
  • Journals: lthe listing uses the APIs of Open policy finder (formerly Sherpa/Romeo) for the publishers’ policies on self-archiving. The information is therefore proposed during a deposit when entering the title of the journal.
  • ANR projects: project data are retrieved from data.gouv.fr on a regular basis.
  • European projects : the listing contains a full list of the projects present in OpenAIRE.

With the exception of domains, entries in listings are carried out at the time of the deposit. With each entry in a listing, a request can be launched in HAL to browse the related deposits.

HAL monitor

HAL monitor is a consultation tool. It provides visualizations that summarize HAL content based on selected criteria. It is based on API queries based on reference data available in auréHAL.

Reports are easily exploited for later use or presentation: each visualization is available in .png image format, and indicators can be downloaded in .csv format.

Searchable corpora: Portal, Collection, Research structure, ANR projet, European project

A wide variety of data is available, such as the open access rate, distribution by year of publication, a map summarizing international collaborations or the percentage of submissions completed with “associated data” metadata.

HAL Monitor complements the search functionality; it does not provide access to deposits.

dataHAL Triplestore

The data.hal.science portal provides access to the database containing structured data in RDF format. This database, also called Triplestore, contains all the metadata of HAL and auréHAL.

The RDF, for Resource Description Framework, is the basic language for semantic web. It proposes a graph model to formally describe web resources and their metadata, in order to allow automatic processing of these descriptions.

A document structured in RDF is a set of triplets.

The ontologies and vocabularies used by data.archives-ouvertes are the following: FaBiO(the FRBR-aligned Bibliographic Ontology), Bibo(Bibliographic Ontology), Dublin Core, FOAF, and SKOS (Simple Knowledge Organization System).

dataHAL provides:

  • a documentation: presentation of the triplestore and the various data schemas
  • a SPARQL endpoint: Interface of interrogation of the knowledge base structured in RDF
  • downloading of the content of the triplestore: monthly zip archive of the RDF data.
