This document provides an overview and introduction to GOKb, a freely available community-managed knowledge base for electronic resource information. The goals are to introduce GOKb, discuss what it is and isn't, provide an overview of its innovative aspects, and how people can interact with and benefit from it. GOKb aims to solve problems with current inefficient and duplicative models by creating an open, standardized source for eresource management information that can be maintained and used by the broader library community.

- 2. Goals for today • Introduce you to GOKb • Discuss what GOKb IS and what it ISN’T • Provide an overview of what’s innovative about GOKb • How can I interact with GOKb and why would I want to? • What else should we be thinking about?

- 4. What is the problem we’re trying to solve? 1. Kuali OLE needs a KB 2. Current model is: a. Too local b. Inefficient c. Duplicative d. Hinders access e. No good match points 3. Lack of open, community-maintained source for publicly available information that supports eresource management
- 5. Scope • Management not discovery • KB for Kuali OLE • Collaboration with JISC (KnowledgeBase+) – Data model – Data – Management infrastructure • KB data for other projects

- 7. What will make GOKb a success 1. GOKb has to support management of e-resources in OLE, be well integrated with OLE interfaces so data management happens as part of regular library workflows 2. GOKb has to also be of interest to a broader community that will be want to use the data and contribute to its maintenance 3. GOKb should improve the quality of metadata in the supply chain (outside GOKb) 4. GOKb supports coordination of cooperative efforts across national KB initiatives
