Workshop on Open Citations & Open Scholarly Metadata 2027

This year's theme

We invite researchers, infrastructure providers, scholarly publishers, and anyone interested in open scholarly metadata to the Workshop on Open Citations and Open Scholarly Metadata (WOOC 2027), organised by OpenCitations and the University of Bologna.

This year's workshop will focus on:
"Interoperability of Infrastructures in a Federated Environment"

The workshop will take place over two days. The first day will be dedicated to a collaborative, hands-on workshop, where participants will discuss challenges and possible solutions related to technical, semantic, and organisational interoperability, working towards concrete outcomes.

The second day will open with a presentation of the previous day's discussions and outcomes, followed by invited talks, selected contributions, and poster presentations related to the workshop theme.

WOOC 2027 aims to bring together infrastructures and projects working in this area, providing a space to exchange ideas, address shared challenges, and explore ways to improve interoperability across research infrastructures.

Participation is open to everyone interested in open citations, open scholarly metadata, and research infrastructure interoperability
