Strengthening the OA Publishing System Through Open Citations and Spatiotemporal Metadata
The BMBF project OPTIMETA aims to strengthen the Open Access publishing system by connecting open citations and spatiotemporal metadata from open access journals with openly accessible data sources.
Data Together: Fostering Cooperation Among Open Science Platforms
Collectively referred to as Data Together, the four collaborating international data organisations-CODATA, GO FAIR, RDA, WDS-have a joint commitment to work together to optimise the global research data ecosystem and to identify opportunities that will trigger federated infrastructures to service the new reality of data-driven science.
Wikidata and Open Science: a Model for Open Data Work
Wikidata is a language-independent factual database belonging to the Wikimedia family which includes the particularly well-known Wikipedia. In an interview, Timo Borst explains the dimensions and particular significance of this database, especially in the context of Open Science.
The Broken Promise That Undermines Human Genome Research
Data sharing was a core principle that led to the success of the Human Genome Project 20 years ago. Now scientists are struggling to keep information free.

New Public Data File: 120+ Million Metadata Records
2020 wasn't all bad. In April of last year, we released our first public data file. Though Crossref metadata is always openly available--and our board recently cemented this by voting to adopt the Principles of Open Scholarly Infrastructure (POSI)--we've decided to release an updated file.
Connected Research: The Potential of the PID Graph
Persistent identifiers (PIDs) provide unique and long-lasting references to entities. They enable unique identification persistently over time and hence play a crucial role in supporting the FAIR principles.
