Summary

The ORI project developed a standalone middleware tool for identifying academic organisations and associated repositories. The project improved the ORI functionality developed for the Open Access Repository Junction (OA-RJ) and OpenDepot.org by EDINA and established it as an independent middleware component made openly available for any third party application to use. ORI is available as a micro-service through UK RepositoryNet+.

• Holds identification information about organisations and repositories worldwide
• Harvests data from several authoritative sources on organisations and repositories
• Can be queried through APIs and Linked Data
