Open Research Information and Metadata
Research information, which encompasses bibliographic metadata as well as identifiers for research contributors, funders, and organizations, powers the management, discovery, and assessment of the research enterprise. Coordinated efforts to remove this information from proprietary control, such as the recent Barcelona Declaration on Open Research Information, signal an emerging global interest in high quality open metadata. This session explores the opportunities afforded by open research information, highlighting the importance of open metadata to institutional efforts to map scholarly activity and enhance discovery of research outputs.
