The strategic goal of the ELNET Consortium (hereinafter ELNET) for 2019-2022 is to increase access to the data in the online catalogue ESTER, article database ISE and Estonian subject thesaurus EMS, and to develop new services. One way for achieving this goal is to make the data in the ELNET datasets accessible as open data.
The making available of the ELNET Consortium open data aims to make the data in the datasets accessible in machine-readable format in order to support the reuse and interbase cross-usage of data cross usage of the data by as many target groups as possible.
Offering the data managed by ELNET as open data enables to use them in linked data or semantic web and share with other organisations the best practices how to modify data and publish it as linked data.
The aim of the ELNET open data policy is to regulate and describe the publication of the data in ELNET datasets as open data.
Note: Only the data having the consent of all the ELNET Consortium members and partners is published as open data. For the use of other data, please contact the particular library.
