Nicky Agate's presentation discusses openness in scholarly communication and digital humanities projects. It addresses several aspects of openness including access, inclusion, usability, accessibility, sustainability, and discoverability. The presentation also covers challenges of working openly, digital safety, expressing the value of humanities work, and defining shared values for humanities research. Throughout, it emphasizes owning our narrative with intentionality and using metadata to improve discoverability.
