OPERAS welcomes Thoth | OPERAS - open scholarly communication in the european research area for social sciences and humanities

by Judith Schulte

We are glad to welcome Thoth Open Metadata as a new ordinary member of the OPERAS community.

Thoth is a metadata management and dissemination platform and service specifically tailored to tackle the problems of getting Open Access books into the wider supply chain. Thoth enables publishers to ingest, create, manage and export fully open, CC0-licensed metadata for their books in a variety of formats and platform-specific flavours of e.g. MARC, KBART, JSON, and ONIX via open APIs, and facilitates the dissemination of OA books to metadata and content aggregator platforms as well as into repositories participating in the Thoth Archiving Network. https://thoth.pub/.
