Hi all, just a friendly reminder that we're kicking off Tech4Open in London on Wednesday next week. We'll run through a number of metadata challenges during the day: attribution chains, keeping and finding metadata, as well as generating automatic attributions. My colleague Astrid has written a few blog posts about the challenges:
