Transition away from Standalone Products
Knowledge bases were originally developed for OpenURL link resolution
Increasing emphasis on knowledgebase as part of the infrastructure of broader strategic platforms
Ex Libris: SFX Global KnowledgeBase will become part of the Community Catalog of Alma
Serials Solutions: KnowledgeWorks will expand to include print and other materials in support of Intota
OCLC: WorldCat Link Manager already discontinued in favor of WorldShare License Manager, WorldShare Management Services
EBSCO: Platform consolidation already underway between LinkSource, EBSCO A-to-Z, and EBSCO Discovery Services. No announcement of broader strategy yet announced.

Emerging Automation Models New genre of Library Services Platforms replacing
Integrated library Systems Support for multiple formats:
Print and physical media Electronic: subscribed and owned Digital: local and external collections of images, digital
recorded sound, video Globally shared metadata models: knowledge bases
that support appropriate formats Deployed through multi-tenant software as a service
platforms Open API’s for interoperability and extensibility

Comprehensive Resource Management No longer sensible to use different software
platforms for managing different types of library materials
ILS + ERM + OpenURL Resolver + Digital Asset management, etc. very inefficient model
Flexible platform capable of managing multiple type of library materials, multiple metadata formats, with appropriate workflows
Support for management of metadata in bulk Continuous lifecycle chain initiated before
publication

Library Services Platform Library-specific software. Designed to help libraries
automate their internal operations, manage collections, fulfillment requests, and deliver services
Services Service oriented architecture Exposes Web services and other API’s Facilitates the services libraries offer to their users
Platform General infrastructure for library automation Consistent with the concept of Platform as a Service Library programmers address the APIs of the platform to
extend functionality, create connections with other systems, dynamically interact with data
![Page 15: Knowledge Bases and trends in Library Resource Management and Access](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56816569550346895dd7f844/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Library Services Platform Characteristics
Highly Shared data models Knowledgebase architecture Some may take hybrid approach to accommodate local
data stores Delivered through software as a service
Multi-tenant Unified workflows across formats and media Flexible metadata management
MARC – Dublin Core – VRA – MODS – ONIX Bibframe New structures not yet invented
Open APIs for extensibility and interoperability

Evolving Role of Knowledgebases Shift from multiple knowledge bases for
different product categories to more consolidated approach Support infrastructure for electronic resource
management Basis for reference linking in broader end-user
access environment for scholarly content Basis for smart or direct linking within discovery
interfaces Basis for scoping for index-based discovery
services

Continuity in the short term All the vendors report that they will
continue to offer stand-alone linking products and knowledge bases in the short term
![Page 23: Knowledge Bases and trends in Library Resource Management and Access](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56816569550346895dd7f844/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Product leverage Initial acquisition of link resolver and KB
Subsequent investment in discovery
Subsequent investment in new
automation products
![Page 24: Knowledge Bases and trends in Library Resource Management and Access](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56816569550346895dd7f844/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Decision drivers In the past, link resolvers and their knowledge
bases were mostly independent decisions Today, knowledge bases and link resolvers are
mostly tied to discovery strategies. Many libraries are shifting to new resolvers to accommodate changes that they have made in discovery products. Using a link resolver from another provider may result
in the need to operate multiple knowledge bases. Difficult to synchronize
In the next cycle, knowledge bases will also be associated with new library management products.
![Page 25: Knowledge Bases and trends in Library Resource Management and Access](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56816569550346895dd7f844/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Decision Drivers Today and in previous years link resolvers
were acquired on the basis of their functionality and knowledge base completeness
Increasingly the link resolver will come as components of broader systems.
Differentiation among knowledge bases will narrow as data becomes available more universally and consistently through KBART.

Comparing Comprehensiveness and Quality
Assessment of the scope of the products cannot be accomplished based on numerical comparisons
Numbers provided by each supplier not comparable
Process for how libraries localize their implementation for materials not covered differs
Quality and consistency as reported by supplier sometimes not entirely consistent with library perceptions
![Page 31: Knowledge Bases and trends in Library Resource Management and Access](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56816569550346895dd7f844/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Library Survey Conducted a survey completed by over 500 libraries
using link resolvers Questions
How do you rate the overall performance of the Link Resolver and its Knowledge Base?
How do you rate the performance of the link resolver in its effectiveness of connecting users to appropriate copies of electronic resources?
How do you rate the comprehensiveness of the knowledge base relative to the number of e-journals and other electronic resources held by your library?
How do you rate the accuracy of the knowledgebase in representing electronic resources?
How do you rate the promptness in which errors reported by libraries are corrected in the knowledge base?
How do you rate the tools offered for the library to configure and administer the knowledge base and link resolver?

Proposal to the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Submitted Jan 4, 2012 (Recently Approved) $498,621 requested for 1-year project April 1 2012 – March 31, 2013
Collaboration between JISC and KualiOLE Lead institution: North Carolina State
University Principal Investigators:
Susan Nutter (NCSU) Rachel Bruce (JISC)
![Page 39: Knowledge Bases and trends in Library Resource Management and Access](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56816569550346895dd7f844/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Broad Objectives Create an community supported
knowledge base that can be used by multiple projects for the management of electronic resources
Initially for JISC and Kuali OLE, but also for other institutional and commercial uses
Hosted on a platform built on open source software Deployed at multiple host sites (Initially
Europe and US) Data and services delivered through open
API’s
![Page 40: Knowledge Bases and trends in Library Resource Management and Access](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56816569550346895dd7f844/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Addresses current problems Insufficient data regarding publishers and
providers; simplistic representation of relationships among content and provider roles
Absence of identifiers for entities in the supply chain
Inadequate normalization of data across or within systems
Inability for libraries to openly access and repurpose data within current knowledge bases
Inability to track changes over time of any given title or other entities over time
![Page 41: Knowledge Bases and trends in Library Resource Management and Access](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56816569550346895dd7f844/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Global Open Knowledge Base goals
A repository of high-quality metadata about the electronic resources and their representation across the supply chain from publisher to licensor to library vendor to library customer, including representation of marketing and packaging constructs as defined by the suppliers;
the ability to track changes to product entities and their associated organizations over time;
an open services platform that will enable libraries and others to employ that data in local systems.
Quoted form the proposal to the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation
![Page 42: Knowledge Bases and trends in Library Resource Management and Access](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56816569550346895dd7f844/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Data needed for Electronic Resource Management1. Publications & their packaging - E-resource titles and
their associated packages and platforms as supplied by a given publisher or provider, associated with brief descriptive metadata, such as subject terms and identifiers
2. Actors - Information about organizations and their role in the supply chain (publisher, provider, licensor, subscriber)
3. Terms - Information about licensing, terms of acquisition, use and ongoing access
4. History - The historical record of changes in such as titles and organizational roles, against which license terms and institutional entitlements can be recorded
5. Local entitlements (holdings) - typically date ranges (in various formats) and statements about embargoes if applicable and access information (URL)
Quoted form the proposal to the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation
