Metadata and discoverability: A use case overview.

This paper presents a brief overview of open interface options and use cases for Crossref metadata. The collective effect of the community's use of metadata on content discoverability—and the need for richer metadata to support research communications—are presented in the context of a greater focus on non-bibliographic metadata. An increase in metadata querying and the core operating principle of transparency are discussed as aligned factors in making open, high-quality metadata a strategic priority for Crossref.
