GOKb & KB+ is an international partnership between Kuali OLE and JISC to leverage open access and community participation to enhance eContent metadata. The partnership aims to create a freely available global open knowledgebase (GOKb) of publication information about electronic resources. GOKb will integrate with Kuali OLE and JISC's Knowledge Base+ to reduce duplication of effort and improve the sustainability and quality of metadata.

11. Community Solution to a Common Problem
Value proposition for a community source solution
We’re all managing the same stuff
Changes take too long to propagate
General recognition of the problem
Neither libraries nor vendors of these products are
happy with the current state
Cloud potential
New model is possible, inexpensive from commodity IT
standpoint and needed

12. The UK Perspective
UK Institutions increasingly dissatisfied with quality
of knowledgebases:
—Incorrect data
—Lack of interoperability with other systems
—Challenges around maintaining data across
stakeholders
—Duplication of effort across sector
Increased interest in shared approached to
managing KB data

21. GOKb Key Deliverables
GOKb will use a rules engine to cleanse and
normalize ERM data from heterogeneous
sources
The rules engine will accept rules from the
community of functional experts without
coding!
Code development has begun
GOKb will be deployed as a cloud service

A library management system must have an integrated

GOKb data services
(e.g.)
Get PACKAGE header
Get PACKAGE with its TITLES
For a PACKAGE, get selected (not all) TITLES
Push back TITLE addition/deletion to GOKb

27. Why this is a hard problem: Part 1
Data is *very* messy
Data providers aren’t incentivized to make it
better (yet)
Community is engaged but does not want to
manage data in two (or more) places

28. Why this is a hard problem: Part 2
No current system does it well; there is no model
KFS isn’t designed for library electronic resources
Entities and relationships are complex
Workflows can include just about everybody in the
library

Notas do Editor
We all know how much academic libraries spend on electronic journals and econtent packages – Now we are also starting to see growth in electronic monographs.
JISC supports and leads projects related to information and digital technologies for education and research in the UK.
