Title: GraphQL for archival metadata: An overview of the EHRI GraphQL API Authors: Mike Bryant Venue: IEEE International Conference on Big Data (BigData) Year: 2017 Canonical: doi:10.1109/bigdata.2017.8258173 URL: https://doi.org/10.1109/bigdata.2017.8258173 Collector: openalex OA: false ABSTRACT The European Holocaust Research Infrastructure (EHRI) portal provides transnational access to archival metadata relating to the Holocaust. A GraphQL API has recently been added to the portal in order to expand access to EHRI data in structured form. The API defines a schema which mediates access to EHRI's graph-based data store, catering to both targeted and bulk metadata retrieval across a range of interrelated data types. This short paper provides an overview of the GraphQL API and illustrates a number of use-cases for the capturing of structured archival metadata.
