Welcome to the Springer Nature SciGraph project. On this page you can find information about the February 2017 data release.
The Downloads section contains a number of N-Triples files that are meant to be loaded into a triplestore. In order to make full use of the data we recommend to also load the following datasets into the triplestore:
- ANZSRC FOR taxonomy (Australian and New Zealand Standard Research Classification: Fields of Research)
- GRID ontology and GRID database

You can also access the models and mappings to external vocabularies in the project source code.
This dataset contains the Springer Nature SciGraph Core Ontology which is the main model encoding the semantics of Springer Nature SciGraph data. It is implemented as an OWL 2 ontology, with a DL expressivity ALHIF(D), and consists of 45 classes and 206 properties. The ontology lives within its own SciGraph namespace (http://www.springernature.com/scigraph/ontologies/core/, prefix sg:). Conceptually this work is a logical extension of the previous nature.com core ontology and supersedes that.
Note that this version does not currently include mappings to external models. Such mappings will be released shortly.
This dataset provides bibliographic metadata for the complete set of Springer Nature journal articles for the past five years (2012-1016). Included also are abstracts, information about authors and affiliations (as strings). Within this dataset there are links to the SciGraph subjects dataset (see below) and to ANZSRC Field of Research codes. Furthermore in some cases affiliation strings have been disambiguated with GRID identifiers.
This dataset provides metadata about research grants (including abstracts) linked to Springer Nature articles. Research grants are categorized using ANZSRC Field of Research codes. Funding and recipient organizations are also marked with GRID identifiers.
This dataset provides metadata about the complete set of Springer Nature journals. Note that our model, similarly to BIBFRAME, maintains a fundamental distinction between product level journal info (as expressed by ISSNs) and journal brand level (the more abstract work).
This dataset provides our custom-built categorization of scholarly subject areas. It includes subject terms of varying levels of specificity such as Biological sciences (top level), Cancer (level 2), or B-2 cells (level 7). In total there are more than 2500 subject terms, organized into a polyhierarchical tree using the SKOS vocabulary. Note that in this release only articles published on nature.com are indexed with these subjects.
