Overview

• What are the problems GOKb is

addressing?

• International collaboration

• Demo and next steps

• Open data & open access

GOKb is…

a freely available, community-managed

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.

GOKb supports the lifecycle of licensed

• Trial

License

• Activate

• Buy

Manage

• Troubleshoot

• Manage Changes

• Measures of Value

• Use

• Costs

The Knowledgebase

supports, at each stage,

management of resources

Value proposition for GOKb

• Inefficiencies in current supply chain and workflow

• Duplicative data paths

• Lack of appropriate tools and poor systems integration

• Redundant data management effort

• Access failures

• Due to title and publisher changes

• Cumbersome assessment

• Lack of knowledge about entitlements

• Cost per use

• Package/bundle comparison; title overlap

Building capacity to support both product

and process

“the scholarly record …. is now much more mutable and dynamic than in the past; it is made available through a blend of both formal and informal publication channels.”

“another trend of note is the reconfiguration of the stakeholder roles associated with the scholarly record.”

International collaboration

• Jisc and community interest in shared services for library

management since 2008/2009

• KUALI OLE part of evidence base

• Knowledge Base+

• Ensure OPEN and ACCURATE data is available in the supply

chain

• Focus on management information – titles, subscriptions,

entitlements, licenses

• Librarians support for international collaboration

• Benchmarking, knowledge exchange, advance development

International collaboration

• Opportunities from GOKb Phase 2

• Ebooks, OA

• Both benefit from international collaboration

• Too much data

• Commonality of data

• Takes KBs into new areas

• Previous focus on journals

• OA of interest beyond the library

• Beyond Point Solutions

• GOKb data used across the institution

• Research infrastructure

OpenRefine

Why we like OpenRefine

• Customizable

• Can build GOKb-specific rules and functions into the UI

• Users can create and apply their own rules

• Familiar model for working with data

• Supports more advanced work

• APIs to pull in external data

• GREL and JSON

Open data and open access

Open data

• Title lists have no rights issues

… but data is not well structured or machine

readable

• KBART can improve data standardization

… but scope is narrow and “well-structured”

requirements are minimal

• GOKb enhances data; applies structure and

supports reusability; makes data actionable

“Reusable, structured data has become

the main machine for doing the heavy

lifting of moving knowledge around.” Bill Thompson, “The open library and its enemies,” Insights,

November 2014

GOKb and OA/subscribed intersection

• SHARE and Green OA

• GOKb can provide additional information around journal titles,

change events, and organizations

• Use co-reference service to map SHARE registry to subscribed

collection

• Jisc Monitor work on shared services for OA

• “GUIDE” – Gathering Useful IDs Early

• Compliance requirements of funders

• Tracking transition to open access

• Analytics
