Charleston Conference 2012
Goals for today
• Introduce you to GOKb • Discuss what GOKb IS and what it ISN’T• Provide an overview of what’s innovative
about GOKb• How can I interact with GOKb and why would I
want to?• What else should we be thinking about?
Introduction to GOKb
GOKb will be 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.
What is the problem we’re trying to solve?
1. Kuali OLE needs a KB2. Current model is:
a. Too localb. Inefficientc. Duplicatived. Hinders accesse. No good match points
3. Lack of open, community-maintained source for publicly available information that supports eresource management
Scope
• Management not discovery• KB for Kuali OLE• Collaboration with JISC (KnowledgeBase+)– Data model– Data– Management infrastructure
• KB data for other projects

What will make GOKb a success
1. GOKb has to support management of e-resources in OLE, be well integrated with OLE interfaces so data management happens as part of regular library workflows
2. GOKb has to also be of interest to a broader community that will be want to use the data and contribute to its maintenance
3. GOKb should improve the quality of metadata in the supply chain (outside GOKb)
4. GOKb supports coordination of cooperative efforts across national KB initiatives

• Community = librarians, publishers, content providers, vendors, standards groups
• Technical architecture = rules-based data processing
Questions
• How does GOKb fit? How can GOKb help solve existing problems?
• Thinking of the sector YOU represent, what GOKb could do that would make you willing to use GOKb data and contribute data to GOKb?
• What barriers do you see to this project?
• What does a sustainable community look like?
