Thoth Open Metadata<p>In light of the newest lawsuit filed by OCLC, it's important to remember that there is no reason other than commercial interests to lock down book metadata (or any other kind of metadata, for that matter) ... </p><p>As Thoth director <span class="h-card"><a href="https://hcommons.social/@vangervenoei" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>vangervenoei</span></a></span> writes in one of our earlier blog posts, </p><p>"proposals to release metadata in the public domain have [...] encountered resistance from commercial vendors who benefit from a closed metadata ecosystem. </p><p>[...] many stakeholders in the scholarly communications chain make significant investments into creating metadata records, and it is perhaps a feature of the current closed and compartmentalized book metadata ecosystem that much of these investments are actually unnecessary double work."</p><p>This is why we advocate for open, public domain metadata, and all metadata created via Thoth is released under CC0 by default.</p><p><a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/MetadataMatters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MetadataMatters</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/OAbooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OAbooks</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/remix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>remix</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/openinfra" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>openinfra</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/LoveData24" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LoveData24</span></a></p><p>van Gerven Oei, V.

Thoth Open Metadata<p>The second blog post has details on our new Thoth Plus service offer - something we've also asked publishers about during the above-mentioned workshop. </p><p>In a nutshell, with Thoth Plus, we are offering a variety of paid-for services to take on the task of submitting <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/OAbooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OAbooks</span></a> and corresponding <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/metadata" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>metadata</span></a> to a number of external platforms such as Project MUSE, Jstor, Google Books, EBSCO Host, and Knowledge Bases such as the Jisc KB, among many others, on behalf of publishers ... </p><p><a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/MetadataMatters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MetadataMatters</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/archiving" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>archiving</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/openinfra" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>openinfra</span></a> </p><p>Intrigued?
