Really excited to share that we’ve published Thoth Open Metadata’s self-assessment against the Principles of Open Scholarly Infrastructure (POSI). 🎉
For us, this is more than a compliance exercise. It’s an open reflection on how we believe open metadata for books should be governed, sustained, and shared - with community oversight, open-source code, and CC0 data and open APIs at its core. As open access policies evolve, infrastructure transparency matters for publishers, librarians, and policymakers alike. 📚 #MetadataMatters
This work connects directly to the next phase of Thoth’s development - and we’ll be continuing the conversation at the Copim community's #CopimConference tomorrow and on Friday, where we’ll be discussing the future of #communityled #OAbooks and the infrastructure they depend on together with like-minded #openinfras, #libraries, #publishers, and #researchers.
There's no #OpenAccess without #OpenInfrastructure!

I’ve been documenting this for months (since 28.09.2025). Here’s a quick breakdown of how http://Amazon.de has mishandled Tom Hiddleston’s metadata for over a decade!

Congratulations to Noyam Journals for receiving a Crossref Metadata Award as part of our 25th anniversary celebrations.
ICYMI, in our interview, Naa Kai Amanor-Mfoafo shared: "We prioritise inclusion of ORCID IDs, Abstracts, and References as these increase visibility of our articles."
Read about their metadata practices: https://doi.org/10.64000/v2v2s-r9037?mtm_campaign=blog%20post&mtm_source=MS&mtm_medium=social&mtm_cid=10.64000%2Fv2v2s-r9037

We are truly honoured to have received a finalist nomination for the 2025 @alpsp Award for Innovation in Publishing 2025!
Hannah and Toby just gave their presentation to the ALPSP panel of judges, and we'll know more in about two months' time, as award winners will be announced at this year's ALPSP Conference in Manchester (Sept 10-11).
Really wonderful to see more and more interest across the sector in what we've been developing within the @copim community - and also good to keep in mind the importance of that growing network of #openinfrastructures that have come together to explore alternative ways to OA publishing of #OAbooks based on interoperable #opendata ...
So this is also a shoutout to the important work happening at @openbookcollect, @PublicKnowledgeProject (with OMP), @crossref, @ORCID_Org, and many others not on Mastodon, incl. OAPEN, DOAB, OaEBU DT, and the OA Switchboard ...

Make your data Findable with structured, standardized metadata! 📊✨ Well-defined metadata ensures easy discovery, better organization, and seamless integration across systems. 🔍

Precision, documentation, and just a little bit of swagger. 😎
Ain’t no party like a Data Stewards party, 'cause a Data Stewards party don’t lose track of metadata! 🕺📁✨
Here’s to the unsung heroes who keep our data clean, our projects reproducible, and our research future-proof. Because without metadata, it’s just a mess in a spreadsheet!

Thank you for being part of #HMC_CON2025 and for sharing your valuable contributions @indiscale !
We're excited to see so many inspiring materials already available on Zenodo – including your work on data management with LinkAhead and ELN integration. A big thank-you to everyone who helped make this event such a rich exchange of ideas.

This is more than a technical issue—it's a scientific one. Funding agencies and journals are already demanding FAIR data practices, and metadata is at the heart of that effort.
Let’s move beyond raw numbers and focus on structured, contextualized data that can stand the test of time, and scrutiny.
Because in science, if data isn’t documented, it might as well not exist. ❌

Great to see such a strong and diverse presence of @NFDI at #HMC_CON2025 !

🎤 We’re closing #HMC_CON2025 with a keynote from Konrad Förstner, (@kuf) joint professor for Data and Information Literacy at @ZBMED and @th_koeln.
As a champion of open science and metadata literacy, Konrad brings deep insight from research, teaching, and community work – including @thecarpentries and @NFDI4Microbiota
A great finale ahead!

Curious about ☝🏽 that poster which had been presented by Hannah Hillen, Thoth's Metadata and Publisher Outreach Specialist, at #ChsConf2024 last week?
We've got you covered!
The digital version is available on Zenodo, and showcases the variety of dissemination channels that #OAbooks publishers such as @OpenBookPublish and punctum books are able to use thanks to Thoth's #opendata #metadata , dissemination and #archiving services 😍
By the by, did you know? All book metadata released via Thoth - incl. records in MARC21, MARCXML, ONIX 3.0, ONIX 2.1, KBART, Crossref XML, json, etc. - are released under a CC0 #publicdomain dedication to avoid lock-in of publishers' high-quality metadata ⭐

We have a new website - and our colleague Hannah has made a video 📼 about it 😀
Together with our developer Javi, Hannah provides an overview of the website's many features, including our beautiful, advanced collective catalogue 😍 📚 Did we already say that we love #OAbooks ?
Next to a walkthrough of the website, there's also a more in-depth overview of what Thoth's backend can do for publishers to help them with creating and managing their metadata ... come over and have a look! #MetadataMatters #openinfras

Highly recommended read - make sure to take a minute and file through @mjgiarlo's thread (linked below 👇🏽) for a #code4lib member perspective on the recent court case of OCLC v. Anna's Archive ...
And we couldn't agree more, this is just such a waste of energy, time, and resources - and to what end? To antagonise / alienate OCLC's customer base even more?
This is exactly why we are working hard to establish an equitable, fully open alternative to #OAbooks metadata creation and dissemination - with all metadata records released under a #CC0 public domain dedication (as they should!) #MARC #ONIX #KBART #MetadataMatters #DataReuse #Right2Remix

That's an unexpected find ... attending the #OPERAS2024 conference, @rupertgatti @kjsanders and @flavoursofopen happened upon one of the first specimens of a proper MARC record in the wild, dating back to ancient times ... 😀

First of these is a brief recap on the Thoth Publishers' Workshop held on Nov 16, 2023
We're grateful for all participating publishers, and are looking forward to more workshops to discuss publishers' needs, and potential #communityled solutions to the issues of #OAbooks #metadata creation, management and dissemination, as well as archiving options for small and #scholarled presses and publishing initiatives that otherwise wouldn't have an option to cover these topics. #MetadataMatters
