[open-sustainability] IPCC report

I wonder if we can get DOI-s for the references or something like that. I
haven't done enough text extraction myself...

If so, we could run them through http://howopenisit.org/ , automated
understanding of rights is precisely what it's supposed to do :).

At first the tool probably won't recognise most of the license statements,
but we'll be able to get a breakdown of where they are hosted (i.e. which
publishers / publishing platforms) by querying the back-end. Then I can add
some of the license statements found on these websites (just follow the
DOI-s manually) and hit them all again - then rinse, repeat. Fairly soon we
should end up with a definitive license list for at least 50-60% of the
refences since I expect 50-60% of them will be hosted with just a few big
publishers.

Also with OAButton - my guess would be we ask for the data (get the data is
an email) and match DOI-s to paywall hits. This could be an amazing
complement to OpenArticleGauge (the howopenisit link above) since that
focusses *entirely* on .. well, how "open" it is. It doesn't really deal
with how closed a thing is, whether it has a paywall, requires a login...
users' direct complaints on OAButton may provide a lot more in the "how
closed" bit.
Which is just as important if we're going to critique the openness of
references of this report.

Greetings,
Emanuil
