Scholix: A Framework for Scholarly Link eXchange
Scholix is an evolving lightweight set of guidelines to increase interoperability. It consists of:
- A consensus among a growing group of publishers, data centres, and global/domain service providers to work collaboratively and systematically to improve exchange of data–literature link information.
- An information model: a conceptual definition of what a Scholix scholarly link is.
- The link metadata schema: a metadata representation of a Scholix link.
- Options for exchange protocols.
