This is a video recording of a webinar held on June 3, 2026, which introduced Thoth 1.0, the major new release of the Thoth platform. At Thoth Open Metadata, openness and interoperability lie at the heart of everything we do. Developed by publishers and for publishers, we believe in empowering presses to leverage the power of open infrastructures that support collaboration, transparency, and flexibility - without any kind of platform lock-in. That commitment shapes every aspect of the Thoth ecosystem: from our open-source software and CC0 metadata to our open APIs and direct integrations with other community-led publishing platforms and infrastructures. Over the past several years, Thoth has grown from a dissemination system developed in the context of the Copim communtiy, into a trusted non-profit open metadata management and dissemination platform used by more than 100 publishers across the globe. Thoth 1.0 marks a major new step forward, introducing a redesigned interface, enhanced multilingual metadata support, expanded dissemination workflows, reusable publisher catalogues and websites, and improved reporting and usage metrics capabilities.
