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).

Cloud web scale discovery services landscape an overviewNikesh Narayanan
Abstract
The impact of Internet and Google like search engines radically influenced the information behavior of Net Generation users. They expect same environment in library services such that all their required information make available in a single set of results through unified search across all the available resources. Libraries have been striving to respond to this challenge for years. Until recently, federated search technology of the past decade was the better attempt in this area to meet these user expectations. But federated search solution is marked by the drawbacks of its slowness as it searches each database on the fly. New Generation cloud based Library Web scale discovery technology is a promising entrant in this landscape. This Paper attempts to provide a comprehensive overview of Library Web Scale Discovery solutions by depicting various facets of Web Scale Discovery solutions such as its importance to Library field, their possible role as the starting point for research, content coverage, and finally analyses the competition at the discovery front by comparing the services of major players. The comparative analysis shows that all the major service providers are extending competitive features and services, but varies in some areas and the adoption choice depends on the concerned library’s preferences and the cost involved.

The requirement for a UK research data discovery service has grown as universities become more involved in RDM and capacity develops.
Knowledge Bases: The Heart of Resource ManagementNASIG
This session will discuss the knowledge base metadata lifecycle, current and upcoming metadata standards, and the effect that knowledge bases have on discovery and e-resource management. The presenters will look at ways knowledge bases can be leveraged to create downstream tools for resource management and discovery. The session will also provide different perspectives on knowledge bases, including from librarians and product managers, as well as a discussion of the NISO's KBART Automation recommended practice and what this could mean for knowledge bases in the future. The session will also include a conversation regarding how leveraging knowledge bases can aid librarians in improving resource discovery within their own libraries and ultimately decrease the amount of time spent on metadata workflows. Through this presentation, we also aim to improve communication between the library community and metadata providers and creators.

The Keepers Registry is an international registry of e-serial content preserved by archiving institutions and organizations. Recently, it has moved its home to the ISSN International Centre. This move highlights both the challenges of maintaining common services and the benefits of allying them with complementary services. The Keepers Registry had previously been hosted by Edina at the University of Edinburgh and funded by JISC. Once JISC decided to refocus and allocate its money elsewhere, there was little time to find and fund a new home for the Keepers Registry. The scramble over the past six months illustrates the need to ensure hosting and funding not merely for content, but for the services we all use to help us do our work in building collections and managing the content within them. Luckily, the ISSN International Centre was not merely interested in serving as the home for the Keepers Registry, but showed how the Keepers Registry is a natural complement to the other services provided by the ISSN IC. We shall show how the Keepers Registry and some of the other services offered by the ISSN IC can be used to great benefit by libraries, publishers and all those invested in scholarly communication. It will provide a look into what digital preservation means in a practical sense and what that means in terms of a commitment by individual institutions and through collective action.

Walk this way: Online content platform migration experiences and collaboration NASIG
In this session, a librarian and a publisher share their perspectives on content platform migrations, and the Working Group Co-chairs will describe the group’s efforts to-date and expected outcomes. Our publisher-side speaker will describe issues they must consider when their content migrates, such as providing continuous access, persistent linking, communicating with stakeholders, and working with vendors. Our librarian speaker will describe their experience and steps they take during migrations, such as receiving notifications about migrations, identifying affected e-resources, updating local systems to ensure continuous access, and communicating with their front-line staff and patrons.

The 2020 NAG Quality of Shelf Ready Metadata report and Jisc’s work on Plan M both highlighted that the monograph metadata supply chain is costly, inefficient, and not fit for purpose. To address this, BDS consulted with the entire monograph supply chain – publishers, suppliers, purchasing consortia, system providers and libraries to create a radically new service - the BDS Academic Library Licence.
The Breakout session will explore how BDS and libraries such as Imperial College have partnered on a cost-effective, completely hands-off solution for the creation, curation, supply and sharing of high quality records that realises the aims of Jisc’s Plan M and brings about much needed change to the metadata marketplace which is resulting in service improvements and cost savings.

Building a Better Knowledgebase: An Investigation of Current Practical Uses a...NASIG
While knowledgebases have become essential tools for electronic resources management, little research has been done about how practitioners have integrated them into their everyday workflows. Inspired by a partnership with the GOKb project, which aims to build an open source knowledgebase, librarians at North Carolina State University set out to investigate the practical requirements, areas of improvement, and desired enhancements that librarians have for their knowledgebases. During this program, the presenters will describe the results of a survey about knowledgebase use sent to electronic resources managers across the country. The survey results will be supplemented by individual points of view gathered from in-depth interviews with selected respondents.The program will conclude with a look at how the findings of the investigation can be applied to the GOKb project. At the end of the session, the attendee should walk away with an understanding of trends in knowledgebase management, areas where the greatest improvement is needed, and ideas for enhancing knowledgebase functionality in an open source setting.

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.
As electronic serials have shifted from being the exception to the norm, libraries are becoming increasingly reliant on knowledge base driven systems to help manage their electronic resource holdings. In 2011, after over a decade of managing e-serials within a local database, the University of Toronto Libraries migrated its electronic serial holdings to a fully integrated commercial e-resource management system. Now, with two years of experience under our belts, we endeavored to take stock and analyze how our library is coping with e-serial management within this new environment. How accurate are our e-journal holding statements within the ERM? How effective are we at managing e-serial title changes? How well are we tracking journal purchases that fall outside of the big package deals? Throughout this study, we have encountered many of the benefits and pitfalls of managing electronic journals within a knowledge base-driven system. While using a commercial ERM and companion MARC record service has allowed the library to present better data to users and expose previously hidden collections, there are several new challenges that we must contend with in a knowledge base environment. A common issue hindering access to our e-journals is the supply of incorrect, outdated or incomplete metadata within the data supply chain. These metadata problems have a detrimental effect on libraries, and consequently on our users, as it affects the accuracy of our e-journal holdings within our e-resource inventories. Although the study began as an internal investigation of our e-serials management practices and workflows, the results highlight the need for greater standardization within the data supply chain, better communication with publishers and knowledge base providers, and increased collaboration to improve the e-resource management process.

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.

For Class 10, it's essential to grasp the sectors of the Indian economy, understand their characteristics, and recognize their importance. This guide will provide detailed notes on the Sectors of the Indian Economy Class 10, using specific long-tail keywords to enhance comprehension.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

5. (Very brief) history of KBART
James Culling’s 2007 UKSG Report
◦ “Link Resolvers and the Serials Supply Chain”
◦ http://web.archive.org/web/20160306033106/http://www.uksg.org/projects/linkfinal
KBART aim: Develop a recommended practice to ensure the timely
transfer of accurate data to knowledge bases and link resolver providers
Phase 1 – Completed in 2010
◦ Main focus was on metadata for serials
Phase 2 – Completed in 2014
◦ Build on Phase 1 recommendations
◦ Focus on e-book, Open Access, and consortial metadata

11. Knowledge base supply chain
KB vendors are
dependent upon
content providers
for the data in
knowledge bases
Vendors acquire
data
• From libraries
• Provider website
• Files sent to vendor
• Automated delivery
Vendor ingests
metadata into KB
• Extracts data
• Transforms data
• Loads data
Libraries use KB
data to manage,
discover, and
connect to
resources they
pay for
Content Provider KB Vendor Library
12. What is a content provider?
Content Provider (or just Provider) is an
organization that provides access to online
content, either paid or free
•DOAJ, DOAB,
ROAR,
OpenDOAR, etc.
•EBSCO,
ProQuest, Gale,
etc.
•Archive
•Repository
•IEEE, Gale, T&F,
Springer, etc.
Publisher
Library or
consortium
Open
Access
Portal
Aggregator
13. What is a vendor?
A vendor is an organization that
creates library systems products
and services (using KBs)
14. What is KBART?
Recommendations for the transmission of data to
knowledgebases (KBs)
Title and package data of electronic
serials and books
Purchased/leased/accessed by libraries
Transparency of data exchanged
16. Why adopt KBART
guidelines?
Improve usage and discovery of content
◦ OpenURL link resolvers and discovery services rely on publisher-supplied
knowledge base data
◦ Accurate data increases exposure and usage of full-text 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
18. Content provider perspective
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 and data
Support the purchase of content by providing appropriate data
Provide widespread access to data
◦ Send to knowledge bases
◦ Public access to title lists
19. Content provider challenges
Legacy systems
Prioritization within the organization
◦ Convincing management of KBART’s importance
◦ Getting on an IT/technical roadmap
Data clean-up efforts that will make you cry
Staying ahead of the curve
20. KB vendor challenges
Building relationships with content providers
Gathering data (varied formats, accuracy, consistency, and
completeness)
Validating, correcting, and enriching the data
Converting it to the internal knowledge base format
Performing quality assurance
Keeping the knowledge base current
21. Why is KBART important to
vendors?
KBART provides a common format and schedule for data to be supplied
◦ Lower risk of errors
◦ Timely updates
◦ Reduced effort required to compare and correct common data
Vendors work with data from thousands of providers
◦ De-duplicate results for the same title
◦ New York Times / N. Y. Times / New York Times (Late New York Edition) = New York Times
◦ Disambiguate
◦ Times (London, England : 1788) / Times (Gainesville, Ga.) / Times (Charleston, S.C.)
Enables vendors to focus on enhancing and enriching the data within
the knowledge base
26. Advice from librarians:
Make sure KBART files match
products on offer
Journal package A
Contains all titles, 1997–present
Journal package B
Contains humanities titles, 1997–present
Journal package C
Contains social sciences titles, 1997–present
Journal package D
Contains backfile of all titles through 1996
Publisher X’s journal packages: Choices offered on library’s KB vendor site:
Publisher X Journals
All journal titles with coverage for all
years on publisher platform
Instead of selecting a package in the KB, the
librarian must select title by title and edit
coverage for each title
● Researchers cannot find library-owned
content due to incorrect or incomplete
information, leading to lower usage
● The need to do more work frustrates
librarians, leading to lower levels of
customer satisfaction
29. KBART endorsement process
1. Indicate your interest by contacting a KBART working group member
at: kbart@niso.org
2. Read the requirements, accessible via niso.org/standards-committees/kbart. The
recommended practice also includes a data sample file
3. Format your e-journal and e-book content availability data to meet the requirements
4. Ensure that you have a process in place for regular data exchange as outlined
in section 5.2 of the KBART report
5. Register your organization on the KBART registry website
(sites.google.com/site/kbartregistry/), providing a link to download the newly KBART
formatted dataset(s)
6. KBART will provide a logo for your site and issue a press release
7. Provide the KBART formatted data (or its download location) to your supply chain
contacts
