We joined the Beijing International Book Fair for the first time this year and had the chance to meet with members, partners, and Ambassadors in person. Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth or joined our panel on #metadata and research integrity! Enjoy our recap of #BIBF2025: https://doi.org/10.64000/9m7bv-n4y12

We're kicking off a new blog series sharing #funders' perspectives on joining Crossref and using our system—showing how it's done in practice. In the first case study, Katharina Rieck of the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) talks about FWF's approach to #metadata, openness, and how our Grant Linking System fits in. https://doi.org/10.64000/n9n69-y5b75 #scholarlypublishing
I was awarded a grant by @BerlinUAlliance - this grant will allow me to visit Stefanie Haustein, associate professor at the School of Information Studies at the University of Ottawa and co-director of the ScholCommLab.
During my stay, I will investigate metadata flows in the context of research data. In particular, I will examine the transfer of metadata from local to global contexts.

2) How WIRED Analyzed the #Epstein #Video. On this episode of Uncanny Valley, we dive into the differences between what the US #government said about a Jeffrey Epstein video it released and the story told by its #metadata. #censorship #lies not #facts #criminal #legalresearch #law - #prisons #trump #maga #gop https://archive.is/VcgU4#selection-709.0-717.144 h/t @psuPete
@ambiguous_yelp:ahimsa.chat #Mastodon doesn't have #e2ee #Matrix doesn't have #metadata privacy or #QuantumResistantEncryption and #Signal is centralised with single points of failure that can be corrupted subpoenad and seized by state actors. I daily drive #simplex https://simplex.chat bc it has e2ee, metadata privacy, quantum resistant encryption and also has the best anonymity and profile separation tools I've ever seen all while being #foss and #decentralised I know of no other messenger that can boast all this

I have created a static web gallery generator.
https://github.com/blitzgneisserin/staticwebgallery
The “sophistication” about it right now: the Python script extracts with the help of exiftool metadata from the photos and displays the info automatically on the web site. So far, it extracts the keywords from the photos and creates a tag cloud of them, which you can see on the landing page. If you click on a tag, you see the thumbnails of the photos that contain that keyword/tag as metadata. Click on a thumbnail to see the big photo, under the photo you can see a caption which is also automatically created from the extracted metadata, it’s composed of the name of the city, the name of the state and the capture date (datetimeoriginal).
Of course, my plans are much much bigger: the whole project was inspired by the Wordpress plugin Media Library Assistant and it’s metadata mapping capabilities - but I wanted this as a static web site. Here is an example of a gallery web site that uses Worpress/Media Library Assistant.
For all of this to work properly, of course the first step is to get the right metadata into your pictures, which you can do with Digikam, more precisely its tools GPS correlator and reverse geocoding - the latter creates actual location names from gps coordinates and saves them as metadata inside the photo.

Dear Israeli Online #mastodon fans, do not bother to keep on sending me your low-intelligent threats to put me on your "IDF lists" or "archives" or to attack my integrity as a journalist, I have informed mastodon's legal team months ago already, and will report each of your accounts including necessary #metadata faster than you can say "Wow" during your dumbf*ck army's genocidal #videos

Crossref is 25 
and still growing! We're building a richer research record by linking versions, corrections, translations, and datasets—so #metadata tells the full story. #CrossrefAt25
For the publication metadata nerds: I tried to create clarity (ahum) by visualising the generation of various metadata and their flow through the scholarly publishing system. The links goes to the online version that is fully animated, as well as additional versions. Wonder if you think this is useful.

@LokiTheCat it allows people to share their docs into the federation and then other people add stuff and it becomes the corpus of the sector - osint/comp intel, indexes, specialized insular industry info but all these people are working together for the greater good - you can run bigger models and they can be trained on docs specific to your sector so you get better answers #semantic tags #metadata #filtered lists #bloomberg termial killer #rag pipelines #trends #real time dashboards #distributed inference #localai
