#openinfras — Public Fediverse posts

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!

Thoth is on the road again - or, to be more precise, on water by now 😀

En route to Konstanz to attend this year's Open-Access-Tage conference #oat25, via a 3h ferry ride from Lindau across beautiful Lake Constance 🚢

Really looking forward to be catching up with @copim @openbookcollect colleagues later this afternoon! #OAbooks #openinfras

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
