Policies and strategies are foundational to a collaborative, transparent, and accessible research environment, but a list of links is rarely enough. The Registry goes further, surfacing structured information on each document: responsible organisations, tags, summaries, and connections to related resources. This added context helps users understand a policy's scope, implementation, and impact, not just its title.
Behind the scenes, every resource moves through a transparent workflow. The current main data source is the Survey on National Contributions to EOSC and Open Science, complemented by additional policy resources. Documents are ingested, pre-processed (including text segmentation and automatic translation where needed), and enriched with AI-powered tagging, summarisation, and metadata extraction. Crucially, human review and approval sit at the heart of the process - AI accelerates the work, but curators ensure quality and relevance before anything is published.
Looking ahead, the Registry plans to expand its sources to include initiatives such as the OECD STIP Compass and selected national platforms, and to allow the community to flag missing documents directly through the system.
