" It looks like a (modern) role for publishers could be to actually put order in metadata provided by users." As metadata librarian (apparently they used to call this "cataloguing") now working halfway between publishing and cultural heritage, I can only second this. -----Original Message----- From: Andrea Splendiani [mailto:andrea.splendiani@iscb.org] Sent: 25 April 2013 13:37 To: Kingsley Idehen Cc: Ivan Herman; public-lod@w3.org Subject: Re: Publication of scientific research Yes another bit, I was just wondering: are we sure that authors embedding metadata in their papers is the best way to go ? They surely know most about their data, but may get shorts of standards and even have some bias. It looks like a (modern) role for publishers could be to actually put order in metadata provided by users. best, Andrea
