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 content Select Package Trial License Activate Buy Manage Troubleshoot Manage Changes Assess 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 cooperation ?
GOKb in the ecosystem Publisher Data Package information Standard licences Global (GOKb) National/Consortial information National licences Central Services National (KB+) Local holdings Financial information Documentation Local (OLE) 3rd Party Systems & Services
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
