OpenAlex ist eine ziemlich spannende offene Suchmaschine für wissenschaftliche Publikationen, mit überraschend guter Abdeckung deutscher juristischer Zeitschriften, Datensätzen (ja, ich bin wohl komplett dort vertreten) und #OpenAccess Publikationen.
Definitiv einen Test wert!

That small joy when you unexpectedly come across a public bookcase that isn’t yet mapped in #OpenStreetMap .It's like a tiny treasure hunt for mappers 
With a few taps in an app, it’s now part of the OpenStreetMap database. The free global map of public bookcases just got a little bit better.
XRONOS is an open data infrastructure for the backbone of the archaeological record – chronology.
As described in our paper out today in the Journal of Computer Applications in Archaeology (https://journal.caa-international.org/articles/10.5334/jcaa.191), XRONOS is the most comprehensive chronological database yet published, with over 350,000 radiocarbon and 75,000 site records.
It is also the first global database to support other types of dating, such as by tree-rings or typology.

So good to be at Data Management for Humanities workshop. An open invitation to anyone who would like to contribute to the African Wordnet project https://africanwordnet.wordpress.com/ #OpenData #OEweek
I’ve been thinking a fair bit about the intersections of #opensource #opendata and #ai and have found these two talks immensely useful in understanding where #opensource can enable equity and self-sovereignty and where closure is required.
