URL Redirection Service for Direct Links
Last update 2012-04-20
Overview
Researcher Name Resolver holds external direct links for researchers. Direct links usually refer to an URI of the researcher in a database. Researcher Name Resolver currently holds direct links to KAKEN, CiNii, Webcat, ResearcherID, ReaD(J-Global), campus directories, and Researcher Name Resolver. These links are available if Researcher Name Resolver holds these link information. Researcher Name Resolver automatically process link information in the background for KAKEN, CiNii, ReaD(J-Global), and campus directories. Instutition staff can upload researcher profiles including direct link information. These direct link URIs is often based on the original identity(ID) of the database. Researcher Name Resolver holds these IDs and types of database.
By means of relationship among IDs with types of database for researchers, we provide a URL redirection service, such that a URL in a specific syntacs will redirect to a URL of target database.
What is RDF researcher document conceptually showing about?
An URL in the following syntacs including source database type, ID, and target database type is redirected to the target database URL of the reseasrcher. The figure below shows the processing image of the redirection. In other words, we can say an URL is redirected to a webpage of the researcher in a database.
