Problem Statement

The current quantifying system lacks coverage of academic papers, which represent a significant portion of the open commons through preprints and open access publications.

Proposed Solution

Add arXiv data fetching and processing to capture:

• Open access academic papers
• CC-licensed preprints
• Public domain academic works

API Documentation

• arXiv API User Manual
• arXiv API Reference
• arXiv Metadata Schema
• arXiv License Information

Acceptance Criteria

• Fetch arXiv metadata via API
• Process and filter for open/CC content
• Integrate into quarterly reporting
• Add to automated workflow system

Technical Requirements

• Use arXiv API for data collection
• Maintain compatibility with current automation system
• Add appropriate error handling and logging

Impact

Enhances commons quantification by including academic/research content, providing more comprehensive view of open knowledge resources.

Implementation

• I would be interested in implementing this feature.
