    Enhancing food & cosmetics: OpenAIRE Research Graph for consumer health
    Ingredio is a mobile app by DENTICA LTD, that allows consumers to capture with their smartphone the ingredients on a cosmetics or food product label, and informs them in seconds about potential hazards of the product ingredients based on open peer-reviewed data. This use case is about combining Ingredio technology with OpenAIRE Research Graph to exploit the >30 Mi full-text provided by OPENAIRE, i.e. research results (publications, patents, products – covering datasets, software and other types of output) in order to generate richer information on chemical ingredients of food and cosmetics by taking advantage of the OPENAIRE APIs and available technical support. A goal achieved is to enrich the OpenAIRE Research Graph with new linked data that may be used seamlessly by consumers that embrace a healthy lifestyle, organic product companies, and companies that want to produce safer products and improve their practices.

    Open Science and OpenAIRE accessible in a click
    Open Science Lens allows web users to easily locate and explore information of relevance to Open Science when navigating in the web, or science oriented web pages. On one hand it allows researchers and scientists to easily locate if Open Science information is present for a relevant item found on the web (e.g. a DOI). On the other hand, it allows a science-oriented web site provider to enrich the user experience offered with dynamic aggregation of elements coming from the information space of OpenAIRE / Open Science.

    Opscidia’s ontology generator
    A simple tool for semi-automatic domain specific ontology creation has been built. It takes a concept as an input and extracts from a subset of OpenAIRE graph a hierarchical list of concepts associated with the user input. This list is displayed using a simple visualization layer and linked back to the scientific literature through OpenAIRE graph.
