<p>Here is a place for a glossary of terms used throughout the SHARE project</p> <p>checklist - A <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zf5JMMnVmi5vJpcI6QS0mu9RJXAV5zCdpx1PDF7NMow/edit?usp=sharing" rel="nofollow">list of questions</a> asked of all potential providers to the SHARE NS, used to make sure SHARE is allowed to use the metadata from the provider and has current contact and API information.</p> <p>consumer - A consumer of the Notification Service is a system or person monitoring one of the feeds out of the service for new research release event notifications. A subscriber to notifications. </p> <p>content provider - A provider of research release event reports to the SHARE NS. A new content provider may be added to scrAPI when (1) it has completed an SHARE NS Checklist interview with SHARE resulting in a completed provider description or (2) it has become a priority for other reasons and has an API which the SHARE NS can use for harvesting reports.</p> <p>core - The core code for the SHARE Notification Service, also known as scrAPI.</p> <p>harvester - An application which accesses a service via API, consumes the content, and normalizes it for inclusion in the search engine in scrAPI. Formerly "consumer" - updated to avoid confusion with a "consumer of the Notification Service"</p> <p>NS - An abbreviation for "Notification Service."</p> <p>provider - Often used to mean "content provider" to the NS.</p> <p>provider description - A document that captures key details of the content provider's scope and API for developers. The provider description also records responses to a small set of metadata rights questions included in the SHARE NS Checklist. A <a>list of provider descriptions</a> is available for developers. |</p> <p>record - The metadata gathered by a scrAPI consumer about any given resource.</p> <p>report - A single metadata record that was output by a scrAPI consumer. Since these consumers harvest data from providers, the consumer is actually responsible for constructing the report for SHARE. We are also planning to provide an API whereby a content provider could push reports directly into the SHARE NS.</p> <p>research release event - The emergence of a new research-related resource. Examples of research release events include: the deposit of a paper in a repository, the publication of an article, the submission of a data set, or the addition of a new work on a researcher's public profile.</p> <p>resource - The item to which a report from a content provider refers, the actual paper, data set, etc.</p> <p>resource - The metadata gathered by a consumer about any given resource - also a NormalizedDocument returned by scrAPI.</p> <p>schema - Defined representations of document types, such as what information might be required for a submission to be considered an article, citation, or dataset, or what types of information should be searchable.</p> <p>scrAPI - The <a href="https://github.com/fabianvf/scrapi" rel="nofollow">core code</a> for the SHARE Notification Service. ScrAPI processes documents from its various consumers and outputs the metadata in a normalized format.</p> <p>scrAPI-tools - A <a href="http://github.com/fabianvf/scrapi-tools" rel="nofollow">set of tools</a> developed to facilitate the development of new consumers for SHARE content providers. | | user | A consumer of the notification service. |</p>
