Abstract

Leveraging a GraphQL-based federated query service that integrates multiple scholarly communication infrastructures (specifically, DataCite, ORCID, ROR, OpenAIRE, Semantic Scholar, Wikidata and Altmetric), we develop a novel web widget based approach for the presentation of scholarly knowledge with rich contextual information. We implement the proposed approach in the Open Research Knowledge Graph (ORKG) and showcase it on three kinds of widgets. First, we devise a widget for the ORKG paper view that presents contextual information about related datasets, software, project information, topics, and metrics. Second, we extend the ORKG contributor profile view with contextual information including authored articles, developed software, linked projects, and research interests. Third, we advance ORKG comparison faceted search by introducing contextual facets (e.g. citations). As a result, the devised approach enables presenting ORKG scholarly knowledge flexibly enriched with contextual information sourced in a federated manner from numerous technologically heterogeneous scholarly communication infrastructures.
