Unanticipated Metadata in the Age of the Net & the Age of AI - Opening Keynote
Dr. Weinberger is an American author, technologist, and speaker. In his five books and countless posts and articles he has explored the effect of the Internet and AI on knowledge, on how we organize our ideas, on the disruptive architecture of the Web, and on the core concepts by which we think about our world. His latest book, Everyday Chaos: Technology, Complexity, and How We’re Thriving in a New World of Possibility (Harvard Business Review Press) argues that AI and the Internet are transforming our understanding of how the future happens, enabling us to acknowledge the chaotic unknowability of our everyday world. — a Copernican-scale change in our self-understanding.

Dr. Weinberger has been a fellow, senior researcher, and member of the Fellows Advisory Board at the Berkman Klein Center since the early 2000s. Trained as a philosopher, with a doctorate from the University of Toronto, he was co-director of the Harvard Library Innovation Lab, and a journalism fellow at Harvard’s Shorenstein Center. Dr. Weinberger has also been a marketing VP at pioneering Web companies, an adviser to high tech companies and to presidential campaigns, and a Franklin Fellow at the U.S. State Department. For two years he was a writer-in-residence at Google AI’s People and AI Research (PAIR) group, and he is currently an independent writer-in-residence in Google’s Moral Imagination group. He edits the Strong Ideas open access book series for MIT Press.

Designing A Metadata Fitness Program
In the transformative drive toward open access and, ultimately, open science, stakeholders in the global research ecosystem are generating more data and more metadata than ever before. Yet the same stakeholders are united in their frustrations over the state of data. Clearly, metadata quality, data accuracy, and the ability to link data must all be dramatically improved if we are to meet the challenges ahead.

Research conducted by CCC has identified six exercises to raise essential metadata quality levels. Panelists will share how they overcame specific data challenges for completeness; consistency; accuracy; currency; redundancy; and reliability. Persistent IDs, for example, sharpen the picture when data has become blurry. How often does Author A work with Author B? Which institutions are they affiliated with, and who is funding the research? Answers to such questions enable data-driven decision-making, fulfill compliance mandates, and empower collaboration.

Risks and Trust in Pursuit of a Well-functioning Persistent Identifier Infrastructure for Research
Persistent Identifiers (PIDs) and their infrastructures are argued to be of significant strategic importance, o the increasingly digital reality of modern-day research. With this in mind, Knowledge Exchange (KE) intends to investigate PIDs in depth, aiming to better understand what is needed to build and exploit a well-functioning PID infrastructure for research. Our ambition is to identify, through investigation, analysis and recommendations, what could be the best possible strategic and operational paths to achieve a well-functioning PID infrastructure for Knowledge Exchange (KE) member states and beyond.

The main results of these surveys and analyses are:
  • Openness is critical for a sustainable and trustworthy PID infrastructure, this relates to data, documentation but also communication on risks. 
  • Globally, political and social risks are perceived as more important than technological failure. 
  • Sustainability is considered as a key factor of trust, while the term covers not only economical (funding, business model) but also political (strategy, governance) and social aspects (community support, acceptance). 
  • Coordination is crucial and more important than the selection of “good PIDs”.

Telling a story with metadata or Always drink upstream from the herd
There are researchers, research outputs, research implements, publications. funders, and organizations, but how can we exploit metadata to add context to how all of these players work together in the scholarly ecosystem (how can we leverage existing standards and initiatives to do so?) How can we connect research output downstream? If we think about metadata early and often, we can tie research that follows to the original work and attribute appropriate credit (not CRedIT) to the author

Making the business case for investing in metadata

Metadata provides context and provenance to raw data and methods and is essential to both discovery and validation of scientific research. Metadata is also necessary for finding, using, and properly managing scientific data while playing a crucial role in increasing the data quality of information systems. 

Join us as we discuss the relevance of metadata within the research lifecycle - from research organisations to funders to publishers and researchers and why it is important to research. Josh Brown from MoreBrains Cooperative will provide insights and examples into how business cases for investment into research infrastructure can be built using metadata. Heather Kotula from Access Innovations, Inc  will provide her take on how metadata contributes to knowledge management and how to measure its value.  Michelle Urberg brings her expertise on metadata and its impact on research output. Julia McDonnell will round it out with her take on metadata and how publishers can influence and benefit the uptake and implementation of metadata within publishing systems.

What is non-consumptive data and what can you do with it?
Books, journal articles, blog posts, tweets, and more were written to be read by humans– a “consumptive” use. Turning those books, journal articles, blog posts, and tweets into features that allow for computational analysis without needing to share full-text (which may not be allowed under copyright or licensing restrictions) creates “non-consumptive” data. These extracted features can be as simple as word counts, or as complex as multidimensional vectors used by deep learning models. New learners of text analysis need data formats and feature types that are easy to use and understand, but advanced practitioners also need rich metadata describing the structure and provenance of multiple kinds of extracted features. Non-consumptive formats also need to accommodate the often-intensive storage, compute, and transmission demands of text corpora ranging from thousands to millions of documents. In this session, we’ll describe different features currently provided by ITHAKA’s Constellate platform and HathiTrust Research Center, some of the formats in which non-consumptive data is delivered to researchers, current challenges for both the producers of this data and the practitioners who consume it, and open the floor for a discussion on future standards for non-consumptive data.

One identifier to rule them all? Or not?
Join the debate! Should there be one master vocabulary of persistent identifiers or should there be many that specialize in specific subject areas? For example, DOIs are pretty well established and adopted, but there are other ways to identify content. What happens when things change? Who has the authority?

Minding the Gaps: Bibliometric Challenges at the Margins of the Academy
This session addresses challenges in tracking and measuring the research output and impact of minor academic disciplines in the humanities. Scholarly fields such as theology and religious studies exist at the margins of the contemporary academy, and prevailing research information management tools do not accurately capture the range and reach of their academic contributions. The participants in this panel will assess the current state of research information management in minor academic fields, then suggest traditional and non-traditional bibliometric solutions to measure them more comprehensively and fairly. The panelists will explore how open source initiatives such as Wikidata/WikCite and OpenAlex could help to mend the gaps between central and peripheral academic fields. They will also explore how emerging techniques such as network analysis helps to demonstrate the reach and interdisciplinary impact of scholarship in these disciplines.

Lightning Talks
Join us for a series of quick, informative presentations about projects, and talk with the experts afterwards, including:

1. Andrea Buntz Neiman & Rogan Hamby (Equinox Open Library Initiative) - A Tiny Library with a Million Volumes: the Open Source Future of Resource Sharing

We know that a thriving resource-sharing consortium helps libraries and individuals have access to a broader, more diverse range of perspectives. Open-source software lowers barriers to resource access for all library users. With open-source resource sharing, even the smallest library can access global resources. This is an opportunity for all of us to learn about how open-source resource sharing can make a difference for your library and your community.

2. Bonnie Lawlor (consultant) - The Use of Blockchain Technology Along the Scientific Research Workflow

Bonnie will be telling us about the development of a White Paper that examines the use of blockchain technology along the scientific research workflow. Her talk provides a glimpse of how the technology is impacting the future of scientific research and encourage listeners to access this important White Paper when it is published this year.

3. Olivia Grace MacIsaac & Ted Polley (IUPUI Library) - Moving from piecemeal to systematic: Reprioritizing how academic libraries approach research information management 

Olivia and Ted will be doing a presentation on how research information management (RIM) workflows at universities are increasingly intersecting with library workflows -- particularly regarding data management, funder compliance, and preservation of the institution’s scholarly record. In this session, Olivia and Ted will share their vision -- to shift from thinking about library-supported RIM services as piecemeal to a more systematic approach that prioritizes open infrastructure.

4. Jon Bentley (OpenAthens) - Why Data is important to publishers and libraries

OpenAthens customers come from many different industries all over the world. Their identity federation manages the exchange of millions of anonymous data every day. They’ve been doing some work to analyse this data, what it tells us and how it helps inform and prepare us for the future. In this lightning talk, Jon explains why data is important to librarians and publishers.

5. Frode Hegland (Director, The Augmented Text Company LTD) - Visual-Metadata for Augmented Documents https://visual-meta.info/

Visual-Meta is an approach to document metadata where what a document is, what its structure is and how it connects to the documents is written as an appendix in the document itself rather than hidden in a datafile, augmenting ordinary documents and making them richly interactive. This brings specific advantages to authors and readers. Frode can't be with us for the conversation, but he supplied this video for attendees: https://youtu.be/16iB01huS-U

Collaborating to Implement Seamless Access: What Publishers, Libraries and Service Providers Can Do to Ensure Better End User Access to Scholarly Content
In the past two years, more and more publishers have implemented Seamless Access, resulting in better user experience and increased usage. However, to ensure more users benefit from federated authentication and seamless access, more collaborations among publishers, libraries and Seamless Access are needed. This panel will include: 1) an update of Seamless Access roadmap and development; 2) a publisher perspective on comparing publisher implementations of Seamless Access, reasons behind the variations and flavors, the challenges of adding IDPs to platforms, and the need for better library-publisher communication and collaboration; 3) a library perspective on the challenges to implement federated access and benefits for the end-users in their research experience that come with federated access and how SeamlessAccess makes that even better.

Multilanguage metadata
Global scholarly communication is conducted mostly in English, and standardization of metadata for journal articles has also been based on English. On the other hand, with increasingly diverse sources of information being widely disseminated and advances in automatic translation technology, the distribution of information in languages other than English is also booming.

In this session, participants from DOI registration agencies that play an important role in the distribution of metadata, as well as from organizations that conduct activity related to multilingual information dissemination, will gather to share perspectives on the status of promoting the distribution of information in non-Roman character systems and discuss how to proceed in the future.

The NISO Video & Audio Metadata Guidelines: Now What?
This NISO Working Group for establishing Video and Audio Metadata Guidelines has spent over three years of work on developing the final draft. Numerous scenarios were envisioned that seek to give clarity to a range of metadata scenarios and synthesize existing standards and best practices. Now is the time to engage with the community and determine what works still lies ahead. Now that we have some standards and guidelines, what will execution look like in various environments? What challenges should we anticipate? What should be prioritized as we work towards broader acceptance of the guidelines?

Understanding the value of open-access usage information
Open Access (OA) as a global trend has been transforming workflows in the scholarly communication industry. Along with that transformation, workflows that used to be clean and nicely put together became distorted and inconsistent. One of the complications inherent in publishing a new OA journal or transitioning from a subscription model to Open Access is the lack of adjusted practices for evaluating open-access usage statistics. Furthermore, transitioning subscription expenditures to a new OA model is difficult on its own without fully understanding the value of that usage. This session aims to bring focus onto the characteristics of open-access usage and to point out differences between statistics for subscription and open-content models. In order to accommodate our evolving needs, a discussion panel consisting of an editor, a librarian, a technology provider, and a publisher will help us question the current ways we analyze open-access content usage and understand why geographical perspective on Open Access matter.

Data and Software Citations. What you don’t know CAN hurt you.
When we read a published scholarly article we rarely, if ever, ask to see the machine actionable version of the text. And yet this hidden version is used to enable much of the downstream services such as automated attribution and credit. When it comes to data and software citations in the reference section, recently the probability of an accurate machine-readable version was very low. For some journals, even zero.

Why you ask? The citation looks just fine in the online version and the downloadable PDF, what could possibly have gone wrong?

Well, there is a plethora of challenges to uncover. First, data and software citations require different validation steps during the production process. Because of this, there machine-readable text is commonly not analyzed correctly, and some text might be altered such that the citation is no longer actionable. How many times of you see that name of the journal in the title of the dataset? Gobs. Further, Crossref requirements are also different for these types of citations causing those citations sent improperly to land on the cutting room floor in many cases.

In this session we will detail the differences in the production process and provide specific guidance to make the necessary corrections. This work has been led by the Journal Task Force for the FORCE11 Software Citation Implementation Working Group.

Social Event: Nevermore! A virtual tour of Edgar Allan Poe's Baltimore
Once upon a conference so cheery,
We invite you to join us, oh so merry!
For a tour that’s both fun and educational,
Of a house steeped in mystery, oh so sensational.
The Poe House and Museum, a tale to be told,
Of the American literary master, with stories so bold.
Our guide shall lead the way, with tales so macabre,
Of Poe’s life, works, and death, a story so rare.
You shall hear his poetry, haunting and grim,
And with each word, you’ll find your mind begin,
To wander into the realm of the strange and unknown,
Where shadows loom and spirits moan.
So come along, oh brave attendee,
And bask in the tales of the legendary Poe.
For you shall leave with knowledge so rich,
Of an American legend, the master of the gothic niche.

So come, join us on this eerie and educational journey, and experience the haunting beauty of Poe’s life and works, in NISO and Poe’s very own Baltimore.

Visualizing Institutional Research Activity using Persistent Identifier Metadata
This session will investigate the opportunities and current challenges involved in using persistent identifier (PID) metadata to understand institutional research activity, based on a 2022 data visualization project led by the ORCID US Community (administered by Lyrasis) in partnership with two fellows from the Drexel University LEADING program. The fellows created an R script that can be used to retrieve information about publishing collaborations between researchers at a home organization and other organizations across the globe, based on metadata from researchers’ ORCID records and DOI metadata. The resulting dataset can be imported into a Tableau Public dashboard template, resulting in a data visualization that can be shared with multiple stakeholders to emphasize how PIDs can be used to visualize researcher activity and impact. However, multiple gaps in the ORCID and DOI metadata, such as authors with no ORCID iD or ORCID records with no institution or works data, and missing co-author information in DOIs, indicate that we still have a long way to go before these PIDs can be used to demonstrate a more complete picture of research activity. Let’s discuss together how we can overcome these barriers, and more fully realize the potential of PIDs.

Building our infrastructure to expand the research lifecycle
Sharing research early and often throughout the scientific process has the potential to rapidly accelerate the scientific enterprise and provide unique insights into the evolution and direction of scientific thought. However, without any established infrastructure for early-stage research, this segment of the market is lost. Without that interconnectedness, researchers only see the tip of the iceberg. Instead of benefitting from the rich world of early discovery - full of negative results, discarded ideas, or lines of questioning that, when viewed together, could spark future breakthroughs - the opportunity is missed. This session will explore how expanding our thinking of the research lifecycle unlocks opportunities to integrate and enrich our infrastructure while simultaneously facilitating a cultural shift that relieves pressure on the peer review and publishing processes and ultimately improves the quality and integrity of research. Furthermore, a focus on sharing and integrating research objects from earlier in the lifecycle presents a more holistic view of a researcher’s professional output that allows them to advance, connect, and accelerate the impact of their work. In this session, we’ll look practically at how technology can enhance this transformation, and the role of various stakeholders across our industry.

Addressing problems in peer review
Peer review is caught at a critical moment. The ever-growing number of submissions to journals requires 2-3 reviewers per reviewed manuscript, and, frankly, it feels like the system is at breaking point. Review requests seem to be concentrated on older, white, western males - with whole continents under-represented in the process - and academics can barely afford the time these days to devote to 'free' labour when their own research positions are under scrutiny and uncertain. It's not unusual nowadays to hear of papers with significant delays to editorial decision simply because the editorial office can't find 2 or 3 qualified reviewers to agree to review it. Desk rejects are becoming more common, not because of content, but because reviewers can't be found.

So, what is the answer? Open review platforms, paying reviewers, payment in kind, wider reviewer pools, new forms of review? We'll be discussing all of these and more. Join us!

Persistent Identifiers – not just a termin[al/us]
Over the course of their evolution, persistent identifiers (PIDs) have been primarily associated with static “research objects”, the most well-known being the DOI, Digital Object Identifier. Typically, these PIDs have been associated with the final output of the research process – such as a paper or report.
In this session we will look at 2 approaches and practices and how PIDs and the surrounding metadata and infrastructure might support them in their processes to give a richer capture of the whole research process across multiple disciplines and workflows.
We examine the sectional / component driven chaining of the Octopus publishing system and the narrative, declarative chronology of the RAiD PID and the arising infrastructure and policy implications.
In doing so, we will discuss whether the declarative, interconnected nature of the resulting informational fabric is the closest global system yet to that envisioned by the early hypertext pioneers, such as Vannevar Bush and then Ted Nelson and Doug Englebart.

All are invited to research nexus: widening participation in co-creating a complete scholarly record
In this session speakers will discuss the topics of metadata completeness, and talk of inclusivity strategies that help expand contributions into the overall global record of scholarship.

The scholarly record is a reflection of the continuous progress made by multiple actors within the context of scientific structures and processes, across disciplines and geographies. What we think of as metadata is expanding, and the notion of ‘content types’ is changing. New, unfamiliar and disruptive actors are sometimes met with apprehension in the world of scholarly communications. Yet, we’re all here to make the progress of scholarship visible and discoverable. Transparency and completeness of scholarly records will help understand the impact of research, funding, and changing policies. It can support a more robust and comprehensive assessment of research, and contribute to improving integrity within as well as public trust in science.

The foundation of scholarly record completeness is broad, perhaps even universal, participation of actors involved in the progress of scholarship in documenting its progress, sharing metadata and building structured relationships between them. Therefore, inclusion of all relevant organizations into this transparent documentation process is essential and we invite a range of speakers to share and discuss effective strategies.

OA Usage Reporting - Understanding stakeholder needs and advancing trust through shared infrastructure
The complexity of usage reporting for Open Access content continues to grow, particularly with content syndication to organizations like ScienceDirect and ResearchGate, which deliver content across multiple platforms at an unprecedented scale.  What kind of usage data do diverse stakeholders (including libraries, publishers, authors, and editors) need?  Can the work done to support OA book usage data analytics use cases inform OA article and data use cases? What standards and policies are required to ensure the usage data is accurate and meaningful?  What infrastructure is needed to collect and disseminate this data effectively and efficiently?

This session brings together different perspectives to consider these questions: an OA publisher, a research infrastructure, an emerging usage data trust, and a usage analytics service provider. We’ll walk through what’s known, and then start to unpack the questions for which we don’t yet have answers. Our goal is to inform community understanding of the challenges ahead and, hopefully, start to lay the groundwork for constructive policies and shared solutions.

Value proposition of information standards - especially around APAC countries
Although not all of us may be consciously aware of them, our work as professionals providing information services benefits immensely from the production, adoption, and promotion of information standards. This session will focus on two examples from the Asia-Pacific region of the value that standards bring to information work.

Andrew Davies of Standards Australia will highlight how the use of the STS: Standards Tag Suite has made their work more efficient and allowed for the development of much smarter interfaces for users of Standards.

Jesse Xiao of the University of Hong Kong will share his experiences of using information standards in a scholarly communication / research services context, including author profiles, research output management, open data and open research, etc.

To Keep Knowledge Creation as an Open and Global Enterprise - Closing Keynote
Science, as one of the major depositories of knowledge creation, has achieved its development through exchange of idea and people. The same was true for a broader range of knowledge creation. Openness and global collaboration were key in this endeavor, as illustrated by the movement of open science, open sources, and open innovation, and supported by the development of underlying data and information structures, represented by NISO and its activities. These trends seem to be irreversible, however, in these last years, we see the geopolitical factors entering into the scene, imposing some conditions in the knowledge creation space.

How to manage this new framework without obstructing these foundational characteristics of knowledge creation? My presentation will be an invitation to the NISO’s communities to exchange their views on this issue and to share their thoughts about potential future actions.
