Keynote: Open Scholarly Infrastructure Transformation in a Shifting Landscape

"Open science should be understood as a public good that belongs to humanity." - UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science, 2021. "If knowledge is power, then openness is resistance." - Anon

Abstract: Over the past two decades, the scholarly communication ecosystem has undergone a profound transformation, driven by the growth of open science, digital research infrastructures, and global mandates prioritizing FAIR transparency, accessibility, and reuse of research outputs. Transformation both causes shifts in the landscape (fragmentation across systems, proprietary lock-ins, inequities in participation) and is a response to them (a future of AI enabled scholarship). Transformation always meets resistance: from community normative practices to the rise of national data sovereignty. What role will long-standing initiatives like DBLP play in a future dominated by machine-actionable metadata, decentralized architectures, and AI-driven discovery? How can we design infrastructures that are as open and participatory as the scholarship they aim to support? How do we harness productive resistance?
