Scholarly communications is full of examples of organizations that would normally be considered competitors finding ways to collaborate with each other, with a particular focus on agreeing common standards/infrastructure. This session will have speakers from several such organizations to discuss why, how, and who they have chosen to collaborate with. We will bring together representatives from different organizations that have chosen to collaborate on a given initiative. They will explain their reasons for working together, as well as highlighting their initiative’s achievements and the lessons learned. We will conclude by inviting the audience to join us in some blue sky thinking about what other types of scholarly communications collaborations might be needed in future and why. Projects discussed will include ORCID, MECA, and Annotating All Knowledge.
