So is “the community” equal to the sum of stakeholder groups? What are the stakeholder groups? Is “repositories” a stakeholder group?

Yes, the community is equal to the sum of the stakeholder groups.
The infographic is to show the stakeholder groups and the interaction between all stakeholders involved on a high level.

The first layer of the stakeholder groups contain

  • members (who themselves run repositories which are not a stakeholder but an intermediate service between members and researchers);
  • policy makers whose policies (which are not a stakeholder but the product of the policy makers) either influence researchers or repositories;
  • integrators;
  • collaborators who also develop standards (that as a framework influence repositories).

Thank you for your feedback.
