Global Research Identifier Database (GRID) is an openly accessible database of educational and research organizations worldwide, created by the technology company Digital Science.[1][2]

Each organization is assigned a unique GRID ID and there is a corresponding web address and page for each ID in the database. The dataset contains the institute's type, geo-coordinates, official website, and Wikipedia page. Name variations of institutions are included, as well.[3] The database 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
