Yup!
If we put half as much resources into metadata and cataloging as we do into dumb AI stuff, we’d way better off in terms of the info/data ecosystem
Panel at #Crossref2025 wonders if metadata has an image problem. Bianca Kramer says the word metadata not used in the Barcelona Declaration. Mariángela Napoli thinks perception of metadata is something too technical. Kazuhiro Hayashi describes metadata as "the unsung hero". Time for a rebrand ;)

The panel at #Crossref2025 discusses some of the challenges of the Research Nexus in the real world - the technical challenges of the scale, keeping metadata open (particularly abstracts), use of metadata by AI, importance of metadata in languages other than English.

Why are we focusing on metadata matching? Well, says Data Scientist Jason Portenoy, there are gaps to fill! We already match billions of relationships, and we're working on expanding this. The goal? A more complete scholarly record. More info at www.crossref.org/community/sp... #crossref2025

Fantastic framing from Simeon Warner, Rochelle Lundy, and Tom Cramer to open the first-ever #OpenMetadataClinic, part of #DCMI2025. We must encourage institutions to publish open metadata policies. Also that while metadata should be free to use, it is not free to create/curate! @dublincore.org
