Welcome to FREYA
Connected Open Identifiers for Discovery, Access and Use of Research Resources
The FREYA project
FREYA is a 3-year project funded by the European Commission under the Horizon 2020 programme. The project aims to build the infrastructure for persistent identifiers as a core component of open science, in the EU and globally. FREYA will improve discovery, navigation, retrieval, and access of research resources. New provenance services will enable researchers to better evaluate data and make the scientific record more complete, reliable, and traceable. By engaging with the global community through the Research Data Alliance and other research infrastructures, we work together to realise the vision of fully and effectively accessible data. FREYA follows on from the successful THOR project. Read more about what we do here.

Webinar: The PID Graph in practice - Jupyter Notebook demonstration
27th of August 2020 from 03:00 PM to 04:00 PM CEST. The PID graph can link PIDs together via relations in their metadata to enable the discovery of connections at least two “hops” away. In this online demonstration, we will present several use cases that FREYA has identified throughout the project. Taking these use cases as examples, we will show how Jupyter notebooks can be used to query the DataCite GraphQL service and gather information through the PID Graph.
Article on Recommendations for Services in a FAIR Data Ecosystem
Results from a collaboration between RDA Europe, FAIRsFAIR, OpenAIRE, FREYA and EOSC-hub have just been published in Patterns in an article entitled Recommendations for Services in a FAIR Data Ecosystem.
FREYA Ambassadors Competition
The FREYA project wants the global research community to know about the benefits of persistent identifiers, and the way in which linking persistent identifiers (PIDs), or creating a PID Graph, can make researchers’ lives easier. In this competition we want to know how the FREYA ambassadors, will utilise or could benefit from the PID Graph.
