Abstract: The OpenAPC initiative collects and disseminates datasets on fees paid for open access publishing under an open database license. OpenAPC is operated by Bielefeld University Library. The aims of OpenAPC are transparency and reproducibility of OA costs, as well as to illustrate the development of costs over time. The current OpenAPC metadata schema is to be extended as part of the openCost project in order to enable collecting additional cost information,such as color or page charges, in a structured and standardized way. So far, data is mainly reported as csv-files to OpenAPC, either via email or as pull requests on GitHub. As an important element of the project, OpenAPC plans to expand the harvesting of metadata and cost data. In the openCost project, this will be done exemplary for the repositories of the partner institutions. The talk presents the first results and serves as a starting point for the extension of the metadata schema.
