OpenScience Metadata Dataset (JSON/CSV)
In 2020 we prepared a document metadata dataset in JSON and CSV formats as part of an article titled "The OpenScience Slovenia metadata dataset". The dataset is available on Mendeley Data in several versions that are updated yearly:

Mladen Borovič, Marko Ferme, Janez Brezovnik, Sandi Majninger, Albin Bregant, Goran Hrovat, Milan Ojsteršek, The OpenScience Slovenia metadata dataset, Data in Brief, Volume 28, 2020, 104942, ISSN 2352-3409, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.dib.2019.104942.
Dataset
The OpenScience dataset comprises of metadata and author data of diploma, master and doctoral theses and research publications of Slovenian universities (
http://openscience.si/).
Publications are uniquely identified by their National Repository IDentification number (NRID). The base URI is "
http://openscience.si/rdf/resource/" followed by their NRID.
Authors are identified by their internal identification number (ID). The base URI is "
http://openscience.si/rdf/author/" followed by their ID.
Note that not all properties will be defined for every resource, as some data may be missing or is otherwise unavailable.
Furthermore, some data may be incomplete, incomprehensible or even incorrect.
The problem stems from the fact that the data was aggregated from different sources which use different systems for cataloguing works as well as possible human errors while cataloguing.
API
The OpenScience dataset may also be queried on-the-fly via its web API.
It's split in three parts: publications, authors and author's publications.
Publications:
Authors:
Author's publications:
Each returns a JSON object of variable property count (depends on available data and type of request).
Publications return a JSON object with "Metadata" object, "Authors" array and a few properties with human-readable names.
Authors return a JSON object with the name and surname properties.
Author's publications return a JSON object with "Author" object and "Publications" array which are grouped by their "Typology". The array contains "PublicationMetadata" which is an array of "Metadata" objects and "Authors" arrays.
