Description
At Crossref, we know that good quality metadata aids the discoverability of scholarly content. It can also make inroads into OA discoverability. Metadata containing license information, links to the accepted version of a manuscript or the preprint or the full-text (for text-mining purposes) all go a long way to letting the research community know how they can access and use the content they need. However, there are limitations - practical, technical and political - which can cause issues in the provision and/or the downstream use of this information. I’ll discuss the growth in the registration of this broad category of metadata with Crossref, where things get tricky, what work is being done already and what options there are for further development in this area.
