Toby Steiner joins up with Voices of @operaseu.bsky.social UK to talk open #metadata, and why open infrastructures should collaborate through open data and APIs rather than consolidate. Read more: research.jiscinvolve.org/wp/2026/09/2...
366 days later, the question isn't “Why was Hiddleston misspelled?”
It's “What kind of system lets incorrect identities persist for years?”

One typo. 365 days. A much bigger investigation than I ever intended to conduct.
Names matter. People matter. Accuracy matters.

💬 "This project lets us apply [these standards] at the pace ARIA requires, so that results from one team can be trusted and reused by the next without starting from scratch."
Tomorrow is my one year anniversary of looking into Amazon's metadata mess. It taught me something uncomfortable: errors don't necessarily stay where they started. Full report: archive.org/details/365-... #namesmatter #enshittification #amazonfail #OSINT #Metadata
Toby will be at this year's Open-Access-Tage in beautiful Linz next week, and would love to connect with anyone interested in all things #OAbooks #openinfrastructure and #metadata !
Feel free to schedule a chat with him during #OAT26 via the below app!
Partnering with The University of Sheffield’s @NERC Environmental Omics Facility (NEOF), we'll be developing standards, processes, and tools to underpin #metadata management for ARIA's Accelerated Adaptation programme. 👇

Joining our friends at @mdgscotland.bsky.social for a #MDGSBites webinar on Linked Open Data in practice. Looking forward to hearing two different perspectives of #LinkedOpenData from Rob Smith @natlibscot.bsky.social and Jason Evans @librarywales.bsky.social

#CitizenScience Reading Club
"Talking Metadata" (Thuermer et al., 2023) finds that citizen scientists often don't realise what location/device data they're sharing and shows how better project design can close that privacy gap.
#OASPA2026 - what is one piece of #openInfrastructure that's crucial - #METADATA is so critical for science. We need systems to speak to each other and most scientists don't know how to doc their data so their metadata creation is poor, at best. #Openaccess #OpenScience #ResearchAssessment
When metadata providers scale via acquisition, data consistency often becomes the real operational bottleneck for architects. How do you maintain a unified view across fragmented pipelines without sacrificing signal integrity? https://avatarlookup.com/?utm_source=bsky #DataArchitecture #Metadata
