Collecting Metadata for Social Media Corpora in the Face of Ever-changing Social Media Landscapes

Egon Stemle, Alexander König, Lionel Nicolas

Abstract:

Social media is an essential part of people's lives, and communication has become increasingly participatory, interactive, and
multimodal. The FAIR principles are essential for digital preservation and archiving, with Findability & Accessibility already well
covered technologically. To ensure Reusability to future researchers and other stakeholders, documenting the platform itself is an
essential part of metadata collection during corpus collection. A network of interested stakeholders should help develop standards and
best practices for documenting, collecting, and archiving social media data.
