Global Research Identifier Database (GRID) is an openly accessible database of educational and research organizations worldwide, created and maintained by Digital Science & Research Solutions Ltd., part of 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 institution's type, geo-coordinates, official website, and Wikipedia page. Name variations of institutions are included, as well. [3] The database contains more than 89,506 entries and is available in the Resource Description Framework (RDF) specification as Linked Data, and can therefore be linked to other data.[4][5]
Additionally, the database is available for download as a ZIP archive, which includes the entire database in JSON and CSV file formats.[4]
Example
The GRID ID for the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute is grid.8653.8
