And don't forget, this holds especially true for #openmetadata - which is metadata released under a public-domain dedication (such as CC0) to enable wide re-use by e.g. libraries.

Congrats all #ALPSP2026 winners & finalists! We didn't take home the prize but enjoyed being on tour in #MCR, passing the Vimto sculpture, where the drink was concocted in 1908, & sharing an apple with Alan Turing outside his former university, next to Canal Street in the heart of the Gay Village 🏳️🌈

The quality of the underlying metadata is crucial - when we bridge the gap between data and display, the data we display is only as good as the data that we have!
