Joe Wass

Hello

I live in Oxford, UK. I'm into building software, traditional music, and bees.

I don't really do social media any more, but you can find me at @joewass@fosstodon.org on Mastodon.

My email is joe@afandian.com

Work

I'm interested in scholarly metadata, infrastructure and processes. I work at Clear Skies, building tools and services to help fight research fraud.

Before that I spent a decade at Crossref.

Although it's a little out of date, I've discussed some of my thinking about open metadata for metrics in this blog post.

You can find me on LinkedIn.

And

I run folktunefinder.com, a search engine for folk tunes. I've been running this since 2008 in one form or another.

My Blog is mostly full of nonsense, with the occasional fun project.

I'm a volunteer beekeeper at Oxford City Farm. It's worth a visit if you're in Oxford!

I run the website for the Bagpipe Society, and am on the committee. Everyone should know about the breadth and diversity of bagpipes!
