Abstract

Digitizing scholarly communication is a major challenge of our era. In this thesis, we focus particularly on facilitating the digital handling of scholarly communication metadata, i.e. bibliographic data, metadata about scientific events, courseware, projects, organizations etc. We describe these metadata domains and develop representation schemes for semantically representing respective information. We develop a conceptual lifecycle model for facilitating the management of scholarly communication data. Furthermore, we present some concrete strategies and applications for semantically representing and linking bibliographic data, for crowdsourcing and analysing events metadata and for quality assessment of opencourseware and scientific events based on this metadata.
