Key Points

The aim is to explore how infrastructure decisions in open research reflect underlying values and assumptions.
Analyzed different infrastructure choices and their implications for knowledge production and preservation.
Examined metadata standards and their role in data governance.
Evaluated the federated repositories and data pipelines in relation to knowledge accessibility.
Infrastructure choices embed specific values that affect knowledge production and preservation.
Data pipelines and metadata standards can influence governance structures over knowledge.
A comprehensive understanding of these choices can enhance shared responsibility in open research.

Implication

This analysis reveals the values embedded in infrastructure choices, influencing knowledge governance and preservation.

Abstract

Every infrastructure choice is also a values choice. The metadata standards we adopt, the repositories we federate, the data pipelines we build - these are not neutral technical decisions. They encode assumptions about who produces knowledge, how that knowledge is preserved, and who governs the systems that make it findable and usable over time.
