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.

9. Metadata Supply Chain
 Content providers
 Publishers typically, but also other content
aggregators.
 Agents
 Subscription agents, knowledge base
providers, library system vendors
 Data exchange standards
 Editeur (ONIX). KBART.

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

repository that will contain key publication
information about electronic resources as it
is represented within the supply chain from
content publishers to suppliers to libraries.

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

24. GOKb will be OLE’s knowledge base
 A library management system must have an integrated
knowledge base
 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

Tweet us: @mcdonald @winkler4 @kualiole #GOKb #dlfforum

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
