Global Research Identifier Database (GRID) is an openly accessible dataset of institutes worldwide that are involved in research.[1][2]
Each institute is assigned a unique GRID ID and there is a corresponding web address and page for each institute in the dataset. The dataset contains the institute's type, geo-coordinates, official website, and Wikipedia page. Name variations of institutions are included, as well.[3] The dataset contains more than 63,000 entries and is available in the Resource Description Framework (RDF) specification as linked data, and can therefore be linked to other data.[4]
Example
The GRID ID for the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute is grid.8653.8
