Description

The Scholarly Communication Platform Framework is a high-level structured language that enables the exchange of information about platforms for scholarly communication. The framework consists of two core elements:

  • The Platform Assertion Document (PAD) data model, which facilitates the exchange of information about scholarly communication platforms in a machine-readable and traceable way.
  • The Scholarly Communication Platform (SCPO) Ontology for describing specific properties of scholarly communication platforms.
