An OAI-PMH-based Web Service for the Generation of Co-Author Networks

TL;DR

This paper introduces a web service that computes author betweenness in co-authorship networks, leveraging OAI-PMH harvested metadata to enhance scientific retrieval and analysis.

Contribution

It presents a novel web service component that calculates betweenness centrality in co-author networks using publicly available metadata.

Findings

Successfully computes betweenness in co-authorship networks

Enhances scientific retrieval processes

Utilizes OAI-PMH harvested metadata

Abstract

We will present a new component of our technical framework that was built to provide a brought range of reusable web services for the enhancement of typical scientific retrieval processes. The proposed component computes betweenness of authors in co-authorship networks extracted from publicly available metadata that was harvested using OAI-PMH.
