@alan I joined pixilfed.social where the focus is on photographs (pun intended) so it is important to write descriptive #alttext. I enjoy doing this. Throughout my professional life I have been a #metadata expert - 50 years we called it #cataloging & classification. So describing all the facets of a photo makes me appreciate it even more. The effort increases awareness of what I saw, and want to share. So as our anxiety levels climb, and the winter has been brutal to so many, keep sharing.

I have a potentially very esoteric #scholcomm #metadata question: where do the highwire meta tags that google scholar uses to index scholarly work come from? There is no mention i can find on highwire press about them, google doesn't give a full vocabulary, zotero understands a different set of terms, and after a ton of searching for literal years I have yet to find anything resembling a spec.

Is the most common HTML metadata vocabulary for scholarly work entirely unspec'd?

@lucasmz @estelle The whole "#metadata" #FUD by @signalapp - Fans is completely moot when they have #PII like #PhoneNumbers and are not only able but entirely willing to restrict availability based off that.

  • #CloudAct aside, it makes #Signal and it's staff a liability and considering #Trump is likely to actually be confirmed, this is a bigger security liability than I'd ever accept.

I mean, there are a shitton of stable and longtime maintained #XMPP servers, and those are just the ones I found within few mins.

LCSH recently published changes in some race-related subject headings. "Multiracial people" and "Multiracial families" have replaced "Racially mixed people" and "Racially mixed families".

Also, "Miscegenation" is no longer a heading. A new heading "Miscegenation (Racist theory)" has the same underlying ID, but books cataloged under the old heading that *don't* treat interracial relationships as a "problem" may be better cataloged under one of the "Interracial...:" headings.

@frodo @evacide @monocles

I don't compromise on #ITsec, #InfoSec, #OpSec and #ComSec.

If I were to use #Signal or #Threema or #Telegram or #SimpleX or whatever shit messenger is trendy, I'd indirectly vouch for it and endorse it.

Trust must be earned, and Signal didn't even bother to do basic design considerations:

  • All their "but #Metadata" #FUD is horseshite when they demand #PII like a #PhoneNumber and are openly able and willing to discriminate and/or restrict service solely based off said info they have NO "#legitimateInterest" in demanding at all!

New #blog post wherein misreading a @foone post made me ask the question "What if we put an image in your image?"

This post was in my drafts for months, finally found a few seconds to finish it off.

I wanted to note (from my other post) just how *elegant* Trove's "Cite on Wikipedia" tool is.

It includes all the info you'd need for a cite, but also gives via credit to the original institution. Classy.

You can see this balanced against some other types of citation including citing books that have ISBNs (only good post 1970) and using the WP citation tool with web URLs which can carry over cruft from other archives with, shall we say, less robust metadata.

Screenshot of four citations: 1. "COUNT MORNER AND IMMIGRATION". Evening News. No. 13, 350. New South Wales, Australia. 24 March 1910. p. 3. Retrieved 29 September 2024 – via National Library of Australia. 2. "The fascinating 400-year history of Mauritzberg´s Manor House in Sweden". Mauritzberg. 2020-04-26. Retrieved 2024-09-27. 3.

Thoth Open Metadata

@openbookcollect @rupertgatti

And we're on to Day 1 of the Paris Conference on Open Research Information conference! #pids #MetadataMatters #metadata
@BarcelonaDORI

In case you wanted to read along, our slidedeck for our joint presentation, which has been prepared together with @PublicKnowledgeProject @openbookcollect, OAPEN and DOAB, is already available on Zenodo

doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1382388

The slidedeck sketches out a shared collaborative vision of not-for-profit #openinfrastructures for #OAbooks 📚 ♥

ZenodoLeveraging the power of open research information to foster open collaboration towards an equitable not-for-profit ecosystem for Open Access booksWithin the context of Open Science, book publishing traditionally lags behind in the adoption of open data and corresponding practices. A number of not-for-profit infrastructures including the Directory of Open Access Books (DOAB), OAPEN, Open Book Collective (OBC), Public Knowledge Project (PKP), and Thoth Open Metadata, that have all individually signed the Barcelona Declaration are now joining forces to collaboratively further develop open, community-led alternatives for publishers to assist them in the creation, discovery, distribution, archiving and financing of open access books. PKP offers an open source book production and title management system (Open Monograph Press (OMP)) which will shortly be integrated with Thoth and OAPEN/DOAB to provide a robust and extensive metadata management system for both OA and non-OA books. Interoperability between the collaborating infrastructures means publishers can be supported (by Thoth and OAPEN) in the distribution and archiving of OA book content and metadata to multiple channels (including Crossref, the Internet Archive and Portico); have their content and metadata hosted in internationally recognised discovery and hosting solutions (DOAB and OAPEN); access usage metrics solutions for their content across multiple platforms (via OAPEN's Book Analytics Service); and in creating and managing collective funding channels for OA books via the OBC, which is also providing a funding solution for the collective of infrastructure providers involved in this collaboration. Emerging from all of this is a collective effort to create an open, equitable ecosystem of interoperable not-for-profit services and platforms that fully embraces the benefits of open research information.
