The ROR community (inactive Nov 2024) interface and API work well for a small number of affiliations that need identifiers, but what if you have many organization names or affiliations? Try RORRetriever if you have a big ROR search and don’t know where to start! github.com/Metadata-Game-…

Thank you to Erin Robinson - @[email protected] for the relaunch. The new #FAIRIsland website looks great! fairisland.org

Nearly 900 RORs created during the last several years have been dropped from the ROR database and no longer resolve. These missing RORs have been identified. What should be done with them? metadatagamechangers.com/blog/2022/7/22…

I wrote up a quick blog with a 3 min ⚡️ talk for OBFS Tweets and initial findings from interviewing 10 field stations about how researchers access the site and how they get needed permits. Would love reactions -> erinrobinson.info/2022/09/result…

We can use connections to the global research infrastructure to improve connectivity in Dryad. Example with 23% increase in article connections and 50% increase in RORs (ROR community (inactive Nov 2024)) at metadatagamechangers.com/blog/2022/10/1…

Progress towards open abstracts, critical for so many discovery tasks!

Happy to say that github.com/Metadata-Game-… still works if you want to take a look at the new ROR affiliation search ror.readme.io/changelog/2022… details!

What if even by saying “fake science” you inadvertently participate in a scam? What if this phrase legitimizes fraud, lies, and deceit?   scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2022/10/25/dup… via Scholarly Kitchen

Great overview of how the community can meet OSTP (and Open Science) guidance using existing open infrastructure - Crossref crossref.org/blog/how-fundi…

Ran into old friend josephkerski teaching about GIS at AGU (American Geophysical Union) meeting. Talked about using metadata every day. Can you tell the difference between dog food and soup? spatialreserves.wordpress.com/2023/01/23/met…

I will be talking about instrument identifiers at the #NISOPlus23! Remember that behind every set of observations is a set of instruments - and now we know which ones! See you there!

Happy to see github.com/Metadata-Game-… helped Caltech Library re-curate RORs into their metadata! ror.org/blog/2023-02-2… Connections are critical!

Recent talk introduces repository re-curation as means of improving connectivity and complying with Nelson Memo. Three examples: Dryad, Institutional Repositories, and field stations. Slides/video included. metadatagamechangers.com/blog/2023/2/28…

What does project metadata look like in DataCite (inactive Mar 2025)? There are over 100,000 projects described with DataCite metadata. Current approaches in a sample of these (metadatagamechangers.com/blog/2023/5/2/…) shows no clear pattern and opportunities for improving project connectivity.

This is a great interactive tool!

I have been lucky to work with Jeff over many years and projects at OGC, NASA, GLOBE, and NOAA. He is a great idea person with the capabilities and leadership skills to get things done. Great choice #opengeospatial

What is in ORCID Organization profiles and where does it come from? Data from UCAR: it's mostly published works and most gets added by publishers through Crossref (inactive Jan 2025). Researchers benefit from work they already did during article submission! metadatagamechangers.com/blog/2023/6/6/… University Corporation for Atmospheric Research

The distribution of resourceTypes in DataCite (inactive Mar 2025) continues to evolve. A current update shows that 75% of the resources added so far during 2023 are PhysicalObjects. This is a great step forward for connecting these to past and future research. metadatagamechangers.com/blog/2023/7/17…

Can th global research infrastructure increase understanding of the myriad contributions made to global knowledge by U.S. Federal agencies? We are partnering with CHORUS to explore answers! metadatagamechangers.com/blog/2023/9/20…

Reminder: Globus login with the NCAR RDA identity will be decommissioned today. Users are advised to transition to using ORCID Organization for Globus login. More info at rda.ucar.edu/news/rda-trans…
