The OpenAIRE Broker is a notification service that empowers content providers to enrich or complete the metadata records in their repository, journal, or CRIS content. It is based on the OpenAIRE Graph which aggregates, cleans, deduplicates and interlinks research records from authoritative data sources around the world. It specifically provides information on openness, FAIRness (e.g., ORCIDs and other PIDs, license), usage, references, funding, links to datasets and software. Broker is available through a subscription to OpenAIRE PROVIDE and data exchange is done through the OpenAIRE APIs.
