Overview
• Project overview
• 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.
GOKb supports the lifecycle of licensed

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

OA and subscribed collections
• SHARE (Green OA)
• GOKb can provide additional
information around journal
titles, change events, and
organizations
• Use co-referencing service to
map SHARE registry to
subscribed collection
GOKb as source of reliable data
