Coalition for Networked InfoLibraries have long collaborated and shared resources, but open metadata often lags behind. This CNI session explores how initiatives like IIIF, Blue Core, POD, and RIALTO challenge us to think critically about <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/metadata" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#metadata</a> reuse.The speakers discuss uncertainties caused by unclear licensing—and why open licenses drive library innovation. We also connect these efforts to the momentum of open science, open data, and new requirements for federally funded research: <a href="https://youtu.be/iExxGIhKJ4E" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/iExxGIhKJ4E</a>
