Me luv #MuninConference. Each time something new, and new insights also to themes that are familiar to me. Not merely nice talks but critical thinking out loud if needed. Meeting colleagues all over the world and contexts. Lots to take home. TY & <3 team #Munin2025!

Happyt Bday, #MuninConference ! 20 years work for #OpenAccess - quite a lot good work done, still needed as open forum for all the stakeholders of the field. Thanks for this atmosphere, #UiT, u make us feel welcomed every time. -Now starting with panel abt infra and (meta)data.

Who Edits Reality? The Politics and Pragmatics of Scholarly Infrastructure | Septentrio Conference Series This paper argues that digital scholarly infrastructures, such as bibliographic databases and text corpora, are not neutral representations of reality but constructed models shaped by pragmatic, methodological choices. This is particularly critical in the "closing world" of proprietary platforms like Scopus and Web of Science, which present biased commercial products as objective scholarly tools. Through a critical discussion, this paper unpacks how unexamined decisions regarding operationalisation, standardisation, representativeness, and balance can distort our understanding of a scholarly field. In contrast, the paper highlights collaborative, open data ecosystems that leverage standardisation and interoperability. Ultimately, we argue that fostering a multiplicity of open, auditable models is essential to challenge the monolithic power of commercial actors, democratize research, and achieve genuine data sovereignty.

Maciej Maryl’s paper for #Munin2025 explores how digital scholarly infrastructures don’t just reflect reality — they shape it.
💡 Can open, auditable models counter commercial dominance?

CARE & FAIR: Opposing or Aligning Concerns? | Septentrio Conference Series The CARE principles aim to empower Indigenous peoples by promoting their active participation in the governance of Indigenous data, ensuring Indigenous responsibility, and aligning the purpose of data governance with their values and priorities. In contrast, the FAIR principles, widely adopted across various disciplines, provide a framework to enhance data stewardship and facilitate data sharing.
