The HMC team is heading to International Data Week 2025 in Brisbane (13–16 Oct)! 🌏✨
With contributions from colleagues, we’re looking forward to connecting with the global data community, exchanging ideas, and discussing how #FAIRdata, #metadata and #OpenScience can advance science and society.

Att delta på två konferenser är för mycket - men det går när en avskild plats bjuder på lugnare miljö för att hålla föreläsning!😅
Tack till SFIS som bjöd in mig till att tala på SFIS Mellansverige Teknikdag 2025.
Jag pratade om öppna standarder & interoperabilitet med #metadata & #informationshantering. Detta för kunskap, förvaltning & informationsutbyte - inte minst kundförtroende och skattemedel! Ramade in med berättelser om @okfse, #NationellDataverkstad och @entryscape av @metasolutions.
Boosting #openresearch: DataCite metadata is now integrated into OpenAlex. Over 92 million DOIs, including datasets, preprints, and many more research outputs & resources, are available in OpenAlex, enhancing research connectivity & discovery.

🚀 Đang gặp vấn đề mất metadata khi chuyển PDF/Excel sang markdown trong pipeline RAG? Đội Pipeshub đề xuất mô hình “blocks” giữ nguyên vị trí, trang, bảng, dòng… giúp tăng độ chính xác, giảm hallucination và cho phép tùy chỉnh sâu hơn. Họ muốn biến nó thành chuẩn mở và phát triển gói Python. Bạn có quan tâm? #RAG #DocumentParsing #AI #OpenStandard #Metadata #trí_tuệ #xử_lý_tài_liệu

Realized that in my current workflow, every field in the #FADGI WebVTT #metadata except two can be auto-generated or hard-coded, so I made a script that runs #Whisper, generates FADGI metadata and optionally pulls the last two fields from a csv, and adds it to the output. It's written for use at my institution but could be easily adapted:

(I also learned that Whisper via Python uses greedy search by default instead of beam, so I adjusted that too.)
"APIs to Capabilities
Enterprises have invested 10-15+ years into exposing enterprise capabilities (internal and external) with APIs. That is not going away. MCP, as exciting as it is, is really just a simple protocol shim for AI models to call tools. But to expose the tools correctly to the model, we need to describe capabilities not just API contract structure:
- tool names should be unique, action oriented (e.g., “listAllTodoTasks” vs just “list”)
- include detailed purpose explanations
- give examples of when to call with example requests/responses
preconditions for using the tool
Using OpenAPI Spec
The OpenAPI Specification contains a number of fields and structures to support adding rich semantic meaning to our APIs:
-Using the info section
- A number of sections offer the ability to link out to externalDocs
- Most sections provide a title, summary, and description field
- You can link out to industry accepted (or enterprise specific) data fields using JSON-LD for very deep semantic meaning
- If none of these are adequate, you can extend the spec with “x-properties”
Let’s take a quick look at an example."

Anyway, it keeps bugging me that the lists of metadata standards I keep encountering often include EAD but never DACS. Like, you put AACR2 on here but not MARC, so what gives?
It's especially interesting given that this is when the MPLP movement is taking off in archives world, too.
And I also find it bemusing that folks thinking about digital facsimiles and metadata in this period don't seem to have drawn much from thought or practice around microformat facsimiles, at least, not that I've seen yet
Senator Josh Hawley ignited controversy claiming the FBI wiretapped him post-Jan 6, but experts like Matthew Gertz and Jennifer Bendery clarify only metadata, not calls, were accessed in DOJ’s probe. This fuels bigger debates on political accountability and misinformation.

📢 New preprint w/ @MsPhelps!
We explore how manuscript submission systems may affect completeness of open metadata in @crossref. Some systems seem to support richer metadata – but tech isn't the only factor.
👋 Let's connect at @craftoa Conference - Crafting the Future of #DiamondOpenAccess: Technical, Social & Political Perspectives of #ScholarlyPublishing
Urooj Nizami & @markhusk are there with many friends! Urooj will be on a panel re sustainable #OpenAccess & will co-present on Canadian OA policy.
Lots going on! #OpenJournalSystems, Diamond plugins, #Metadata, #Multilingualism, sustainability & much more.

The spec for EXIF 3, at least, includes the ImageDescription tag as a standardized (but optional) thing. I haven't checked if it's in anything prior to 3.0.
Trying to get software to support it, of course...
I recently returned from visiting Stefanie Haustein, associate professor at the School of Information Studies at the University of Ottawa and co-director of the ScholCommLab. Thanks to a @BerlinUAlliance grant, I am able to investigate metadata flows from local to global contexts.
