OSTrails SKG-IF Extensions¶
SKG-IF extensions are introduced as a strategic mechanism to address the evolving and diverse needs of scientific communities and projects. Within the SKG-IF, extensions are intended to capture shared requirements and interests that are not fully covered by the core set of entities and properties.
By enabling the definition of extensions that enrich the core SKG-IF model, the framework can support specialised use cases, discipline- or project-specific requirements, and emerging data practices, while preserving the integrity and structure of the underlying model.
Extensions provide a controlled way to expand the framework’s capabilities without altering existing entities, thereby maintaining compatibility, conceptual coherence, and interoperability across different datasets and scholarly knowledge graphs.
The status of such extension proposed is summarised in the table below:
