9. Why should content providers & publishers
look into KBART endorsement?
Improve usage and discovery of content
◦ OpenURL link resolvers and discovery services rely on publisher supplied
knowledge base data to send library patrons to fulltext
◦ Accurate data increases exposure and usage of fulltext content and leads to
better interoperability and access
Universally accepted data format
◦ Provides a standardized way to exchange and update product availability
details across the supply chain
◦ Human-readable title list for marketing and product information.
Immediate return on investment
◦ Single source where content providers can refer knowledge base providers,
aggregators, consortia and libraries

10. Improve usage and discovery of content

11. Knowledge base supply chain
Vendors are
dependent upon
content providers
for the data in
knowledge bases
Vendors acquire
data
• From libraries
• Website
• File delivery
• Automation
Vendor ingests
metadata into KB
• Extract
• transform
• loads data
Libraries use KB
data to manage,
discover and
connect to
resources they
pay for
Content Provider Vendor Library

12. Having a universally accepted data format
helps streamlines processes end-to-end
Content Provider Vendor Library

13. Immediate return on investment for
content providers
Discovery and Good Metadata = $$$$
◦ If customers can’t find and access what they purchased then usage
disappears
Let the customer know what they purchased!
◦ The department that made the purchase is often not the same group that
manages the content & data.
Support the purchase of content by providing appropriate data.
Provide data as widespread as possible
◦ Send to Knowledgebases
◦ Public access to Title Lists
