KBART is a collaborative project between UKSG and NISO to improve the transfer of accurate journal holdings data from publishers and providers to knowledge bases and link resolvers. It aims to address problems like outdated or incorrect data that can cause links to full text articles to fail. The KBART working group, comprised of publishers, libraries, vendors and technical experts, is developing guidelines for terminology, data formats and best practices. Their goal is to finish the initial guidelines within a year to help ensure links between citations and available full text content work consistently for library users.

Link Resolvers, Knowledgebases and the KBART Working GroupSherrard Ewing
In recent years, link resolver technology has become integral to ensuring successful institutional access to electronic content. The corresponding take-up of OpenURL compliance among content providers in response has resulted in a global solution to the ‘appropriate copy’ problem. However, this solution is only effective if the knowledge base behind the link resolver is up to date, accurate and comprehensive and is a factor that is often overlooked in establishing OpenURL compliance. This presentation explores the importance of OpenURL and knowledge bases to the information community as a whole and provides an overview and update of the role that the KBART (Knowledge Bases and Related Tools) working group has to play in improving knowledge base metadata.
KBART, a joint initiative between NISO and UKSG, is a working group comprised of stakeholders (libraries, content providers, and knowledgebase vendors) seeking to improve the metadata supply chain to the knowledgebases that OpenURL linker resolvers depend on. The aim of this work is improved quality and consistency of metadata that knowledgebases receive from content providers, ensuring a better experience for library patrons. The first set of recommendations was announced in January of this year. Since then several content providers and knowledgebase vendors have endorsed KBART guidelines. Learn about the experiences of content providers and linking vendors that have taken up KBART Phase 1 recommendations and the working group’s plans for next phase. Discover what libraries can do to improve the metadata exchange between content vendors and the knowledgebases they use.

Capturing and Analyzing Publication, Citation and Usage Data for Contextual C...NASIG
Libraries have long sought to demonstrate the value of their collections through a variety of usage statistics. Traditionally, a strong emphasis is placed on high usage statistics when evaluating journals in collection development discussions. However, as budget pressures persist, administrators are increasingly concerned with looking beyond traditional usage metrics to determine the real impact of library services and collections. By examining journal usage in the context of scholarly communication, we hope to gain a more holistic understanding of the use and impact of our library’s resources. In this session, we begin by outlining our methodology for gathering comprehensive publication and citation data for authors affiliated with Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine, utilizing Web of Science as our primary data source and leveraging a custom Python script to manage the data. Using this data we discuss various potential metrics that could be employed to measure and evaluate journals in institutional and field-specific contexts, including but not limited to: number of publications and references per journal, co-citation networks, percentage of references per journal, and increases or decreases of references over time per title. We then consider the development of normalized benchmarks and criteria for creating field-specific core journal lists. We also discuss a process for establishing usage thresholds to evaluate existing journal subscriptions and to highlight potential gaps in the collection. Finally, we apply and compare these metrics to traditional collection development tools like COUNTER usage reports, cost-per-use analysis, Inter-Library Loan statistics and turnaway reports, to determine what correlations or discrepancies might exist. We finish by highlighting some use-cases which demonstrate the value of considering publication and citation metrics, and provide suggestions for incorporating these metrics into library collection development practices.

Existing work on keyword search relies on an element-level model (data graphs) to compute keyword query results.Elements mentioning keywords are retrieved from this model and paths between them are explored to compute Steiner graphs. KRG (keyword Element Relationship Graph) captures relationships at the keyword level.Relationships captured by a KRG are not direct edges between tuples but stand for paths between keywords.
We propose to route keywords only to relevant sources to reduce the high cost of processing keyword search queries over all sources. A multilevel scoring mechanism is proposed for computing the relevance of routing plans based on scores at the level of keywords, data elements,element sets, and subgraphs that connect these elements

As libraries move to become centers of digital collections, maintaining information on the usage of these collections is ever more critical. It's also essential to be able to maintain common measures across heterogeneous collections, in order to be able to effectively analyze how the library's collection dollars are being spent. The Project COUNTER Code of Practice and the SUSHI protocol aid in this work. This session will explore the newly-published Release 4 of the COUNTER Code of Practice for e-Resources and highlight its use in conjunction with the SUSHI (Standardized Usage Statistics Harvesting Initiative) protocol in an active library environment.

Resource Description Framework Approach to Data Publication and FederationPistoia Alliance
Bob Stanley, CEO, IO Informatics, explains the utility to RDF as a standard way of defining and redefining data that could have utility in managing life science information.
This session will comprise a talk with a panel of speakers
looking at KBART: seven years later (since the publication
of the first set of recommendations up to today). The panel
will discuss the changes on the e-resources metadata
landscape, the benefits of KBART and the challenges of
its implementation. Today poor metadata in the electronic
resources supply chain is still a problem. The panel will
use practical examples to explain how metadata creation,
consumption and usage are marked by the constant
requirement of finding the balance between available
resources (technical and human) and end user discoverability
needs. The KBART Standing Committee sees the
implementation of KBART recommendations as a community
effort from a range of stakeholders (content providers,
knowledge bases, link resolvers and librarians).

W3C Library Linked Data Incubator Group: Review of the Final ReportF. Tim Knight
This report is a snapshot describing the current state of library data management. It outlines the potential benefits of publishing library data as Linked Data and provides recommendations for library standards bodies, data and systems designers, librarians and archivists, and library leaders.
There are two supplementary reports that provide additional detail. The first is the "Use Cases" describing library applications that take advantage of the benefits of adopting Linked Data standards and principles involved in publishing things like bibliographic data, concept schemes, and authority files. The second supplementary report "Datasets, Value Vocabularies, and Metadata Element Sets" provides a list of resources available for creating library Linked Data . There are several additional documents available on the W3C's Semantic Web wiki <http: /> and there is discussion list public-lld <http: />, which are both open to interested members of the public.

Semantic Web Technologies: Changing Bibliographic Descriptions?Stuart Weibel
Keynote presentation at the North Atlantic Health Science Library meeting, October 26, 2009.
An introduction to semantic web technologies and their relationship to libraries and bibliographic data.
Stuart Weibel, Senior Research Scientist, OCLC Research
Information residing in relational databases and delimited file systems are inadequate for reuse and sharing over the web. These file systems do not adhere to commonly set principles for maintaining data harmony. Due to these reasons, the resources have been suffering from lack of uniformity, heterogeneity as well as redundancy throughout the web. Ontologies have been widely used for solving such type of problems, as they help in extracting knowledge out of any information system. In this article, we focus on extracting concepts and their relations from a set of CSV files. These files are served as individual concepts and grouped into a particular domain, called the domain ontology. Furthermore, this domain ontology is used for capturing CSV data and represented in RDF format retaining links among files or concepts. Datatype and object properties are automatically detected from header fields. This reduces the task of user involvement in generating mapping files. The detail analysis has been performed on Baseball tabular data and the result shows a rich set of semantic information.

The Missing Link-The Evolving Current State of Linked Data for Serials-FallgrenNASIG
Linked data may hold the potential to solve some classic serials dilemmas like latest vs. successive entry, or single vs. multiple records for print and online. How do these hopes mesh with the evolving current state of linked data projects in the commercial and library sector as well as with LC’s Bibframe initiative? The speakers will provide three different perspectives. An “early experimenter” and member of the Bibframe group modeling serials will discuss her experiences and thoughts on future directions. A publisher from a company that has reorganized some of its infrastructure and processes to facilitate linked data will share the goals and provide examples of the benefits of that project. Finally, the head of the U.S. ISSN Center will take an ISSN perspective as well as compare international work modeling serials according to FRBR-OO (object-oriented) with the Bibframe serials modeling effort. Audience input will be solicited in order to provide an exchange of ideas and viewpoints. (moderated by Laurie Kaplan)
Access to Freely Available Journal Articles: Gold, Green, and Rogue Open Ac...Jason Price, PhD
A recent bibliometrics study found that 54% of 4.6 million scientific papers from peer-reviewed journals indexed in Scopus during the years 2011-2013 could be downloaded for free on the internet in April of 2014 (Archambault, et al. 2014). As time rolls on, authors and researchers are increasingly using more-and-less legal scholarly article sharing services to "take back the literature," or even just to access it more conveniently (Bohannon, 2016). The objective of this study was to evaluate a manageable sample of journal articles across the sciences, social sciences and humanities for their availability in gold, green and rogue open access forms, including ResearchGate and Sci-Hub. Attendees will gain a greater appreciation of the extent of open access availability through Google Scholar, Google and commercial discovery systems, and will be challenged to roll with the times by expanding the role of libraries in broadening access to the freely available literature.
Discovery or Displacement? A Large Scale Longitudinal Study of the Effect of ...Jason Price, PhD
Plenary session for Charleston Conference 2013. Authors: Michael Levine-Clark, John McDonald, Jason Price. In this first large scale study of the effect of discovery systems on electronic resource usage, the authors present initial findings on how these systems alter online journal usage by academic library researchers. The study examines usage of content hosted by four major academic journal publishers at 24 libraries that have implemented one of the major discovery systems, EBSCO's EDS, Ex Libris' Primo, OCLC's Worldcat Local, or SerialsSolutions’ Summon. A statistically rigorous comparison of COUNTER-compliant journal usage at each library from the 12 months before and after implementation will determine the degree to which usage rises or falls after discovery tool implementation and address rumors that discovery tools differ in their impact on electronic resource usage.

Editor's Notes
Clarify who, mostly, needs educating – did the research report suggest one group is getting it more than another? (probably the publishers – sorry publishers!)
having articulated the issues affecting the efficiency of OpenURL linking, we’re now proposing and honing solutions. Hopefully some will be relatively simple – a case of finally having the right people in a room together discussing it Others may need compromise between different stakeholders
