10. KUALI OLE & GOKB
GOKb is the knowledgebase for Kuali
OLE
Kuali OLE will consume data (and publish
too) from GOKb APIs
Kuali OLE partners are committed to the
accuracy, timeliness, and maintenance of
GOKb
GOKb is supported by Kuali OLE, but is an
open resource to all
GOKb will bi-directionally integrate with
Kuali OLE
Coordinated data model for mapping
GOKb data into Kuali OLE – KBART-like,
with extended data elements

OPEN REFINE & GOKB
Journal data comes in all shapes and sizes
Need a tool that:
Makes it easy to edit files with hundreds to thousands of
journals
Is usable by non-programmers but can apply complex
transformations
Makes it easy to apply the same operations over and
over again

OPEN REFINE & GOKB
After looking at a range of options, settled on
Open Refine
Built an extension that:
Supports shared workspace
Enforces data integrity
Makes common operations easy to apply
