@thoth-metadata.eurosky.socialDid you know that we will also be jointly running an #OAT26 workshop Monday afternoon (3 - 4.30pm) that looks at how we - as the multiple communities engaged in #Diamond #openaccess - might best support community-governed nonprofit infrastructures for #OAbooks and journals?
@thoth-metadata.eurosky.socialToby 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!

@thoth-metadata.eurosky.socialThe full report sets out the comparison in detail, including where each service meets the @copim.bsky.social Open Archiving Criteria.
We hope it can be useful to #OAbooks publishers thinking through their own archiving and preservation strategies.
@thoth-metadata.eurosky.socialThis principle also underpins the Thoth Open Archiving Network: using Thoth metadata and publishing workflows to help distribute #OAbooks and their metadata across multiple preservation locations, rather than relying on a single repository or service.
7/8
@thoth-metadata.eurosky.socialPreservation is often treated as a question of keeping files safe over the long term. For #OAbooks, though, there also is another question: will those files, and the metadata describing them, remain openly accessible and reusable over time?
