Pardalotus Scholarly Publishing Technology Map

Here is a list of concepts and organizations that may be useful to developers or techies in scholarly publishing, especially early-career. It's not (yet) complete, authoritative, or objective! Just things I've come across whilst working in scholarly publishing.

This file is available in Turtle format if you prefer. Yes, it's an ontology but not on purpose.
