Open Metadata Management and Dissemination with Thoth

This is the slidedeck used for a presentation held during the OASPA webinar "Practical Applications of Open Infrastructure Tools for Scholarly Communication", that took place on Feb 20, 2025 and focused on three emerging open infrastructure tools and platforms: OpenCitations, OpenAlex, and Thoth Open Metadata. Free and equitable access to scholarly research is not only predicated on its open access nature, but also on the scholarly communications infrastructures through which this research is disseminated and made discoverable. Grounded in the Open Science principles, speakers showcased how open infrastructure, with regard to bibliographic information, knowledge graphs, and book metadata, contributes to fostering a more transparent and equitable research landscape and how publishers and others can use their services. During his presentation, Vincent W.J. van Gerven Oei discussed Thoth, an open-source platform for open metadata management and dissemination.
