• Demo

• Partnerships

• 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.

The Knowledgebase

supports, at each stage,

management of resources

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.”

Value proposition for GOKb

Solving problems across the industry

• Duplication of effort

• Data quality issues1

• Untangling data and software

Open data and open access

“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

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
