What is Ricgraph?

Ricgraph, also known as Research in context graph, enables the exploration of researchers, teams, their results, collaborations, skills, projects, and the relations between these items.

Ricgraph can store many types of items into a single graph. These items can be obtained from various systems and from multiple organizations. Ricgraph facilitates reasoning about these items because it infers new relations between items, relations that are not present in any of the separate source systems. It is flexible and extensible, and can be adapted to new application areas.

Why Ricgraph is unique

Ricgraph is unique because it allows you to:

• Explore collaborations between (sub-)organizations with Ricgraph;
• Explore Open science with Ricgraph;
• Enhance research information systems with Ricgraph;

The nice thing about Ricgraph is that anyone with Python knowledge can easily extend it, so you can use Ricgraph to test your own ideas or to create your own applications.

You can use Ricgraph either as a standalone tool, or as a component that provides a graph based data structure with a number of handy tools. Ricgraph has been developed for the application area research information and it can be used for other application areas that require relations between items from various source systems.
