• A database• Contains information about web resources
(global)– e.g. what journal holdings are available in
JSTOR– and how you link to articles in them
• Contains information about the resources a library has licensed/owns (local)– May contain electronic and print holdings
(in addition to a number of other services)
• Used by a link resolver to direct institutional users to the ‘appropriate copy’
What is a KnowledgeBase?
![Page 4: KBART Phase II: The Next Step Towards Better Metadata](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062302/56816770550346895ddc5bec/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
• It knows where all the content is• It knows which versions the library is
able to access• So – it’s the only place that can get a
user to the “appropriate copy” … the one that his/her library has licensed.
KnowledgeBase’s Central Role in the Library

• More content visible to end users• Content linking is more accurate for end users• Increase in content usage• Maximum reach for authors and editors• Better return on investment for library• Favourable renewal decision• Protection of revenue for content providers
Benefits for All

Where the chain breaks• Wrong data
– Publisher gives wrong metadata for title to the KB– Link resolver uses bad metadata to make link– Link does not resolve to correct target– Dead end
• Outdated data– Publisher said it has a particular issue– Link resolver links to an article from it– Issue has been removed– Dead end – Or, provider doesn’t notify that issue is now live– So no traffic from link resolvers to that issue!

Who is behind KBART? Phase II
![Page 9: KBART Phase II: The Next Step Towards Better Metadata](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062302/56816770550346895ddc5bec/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Ebooks
• Challenges– Incomplete– Non-standard data– Frequency

![Page 10: KBART Phase II: The Next Step Towards Better Metadata](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062302/56816770550346895ddc5bec/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Ebooks• Phase I
– recommendations were serial-centric– Some fields were dual-purpose
• date_first_issue_online• Identifiers
– Holding’s content type was ambiguous• Phase II
– 8 new monographic fields added– Disambiguation of usage

Ebooks Serials! – Phase II
• Serials-only fields for Phase II:– date_first_issue_online– num_first_vol_online– num_first_issue_online– date_last_issue_online– num_last_vol_online– num_last_issue_online
![Page 12: KBART Phase II: The Next Step Towards Better Metadata](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062302/56816770550346895ddc5bec/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12
Ebooks and Serials! – Phase II• Fields used for both monographs and
serials:– Identifiers– title_id– embargo_info– coverage_depth– coverage_notes– title_url– Publication_type (Serial, Monograph)
![Page 13: KBART Phase II: The Next Step Towards Better Metadata](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062302/56816770550346895ddc5bec/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
13
New Ebooks fields for Phase II• date_monograph_published_print • date_monograph_published_online• monograph_volume• monograph_edition• first_editor
![Page 14: KBART Phase II: The Next Step Towards Better Metadata](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062302/56816770550346895ddc5bec/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
14
Book Series / Proceedings - Phase II• Challenges
– Both serial and monograph– Users search for both titles
• New fields– parent_publication_title_id– preceding_publication_title_id
![Page 15: KBART Phase II: The Next Step Towards Better Metadata](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062302/56816770550346895ddc5bec/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15
Open Access
• OA has gotten more popular • Importance of facilitating access to
both paid and free peer-reviewed, quality publications (not just fee-based material).
![Page 16: KBART Phase II: The Next Step Towards Better Metadata](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062302/56816770550346895ddc5bec/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16
Open Access• Challenges
– What to do with Hybrid OA models?• Embargoed Hybrid OA – example: free
access until one year ago. • Title transfer OA – title changes from OA to
paid (or vice versa) upon transfer to another publisher.
• Author-paid OA – some articles fee-based.• Full OA – all content is free
– Title-level vs. article-level OA metadata
![Page 17: KBART Phase II: The Next Step Towards Better Metadata](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062302/56816770550346895ddc5bec/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
17
Open Access
• The decision was made not to differentiate between Free and OA for KBART.
• Needed to strike a balance between noting significant OA content and making the file understandable.
![Page 18: KBART Phase II: The Next Step Towards Better Metadata](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062302/56816770550346895ddc5bec/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
18
Open Access• Free-text coverage_notes field
suggested to explain subtleties of OA availability for that particular title.
• New field – access_type– “F” – title is mostly fee-based
(subscription/purchase)– “OA” – 50% or more of the title is
OA/freely accessible.
![Page 19: KBART Phase II: The Next Step Towards Better Metadata](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062302/56816770550346895ddc5bec/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
19
Consortia• Survey results• Libraries purchase titles as a
consortium• Consortium administrators and
librarians need the same title-level information from their consortium-purchased packages as they do from “vanilla” publisher packages.
• Difficult to obtain accurate consortium-specific title lists.
![Page 20: KBART Phase II: The Next Step Towards Better Metadata](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062302/56816770550346895ddc5bec/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
20
Consortia• We re-state the importance of providing
a separate file for each “Global” package that the Content Provider offers.
• Consortium-specific files should be created when: – A unique set of titles has been packaged
for the consortium, different than the Content Provider’s standard packages.
– A package contains unique dates of coverage.
![Page 21: KBART Phase II: The Next Step Towards Better Metadata](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062302/56816770550346895ddc5bec/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
21
Consortia• Changes to file naming for ALL files. • Addition of “Region/Consortium”
value in file structure. – [ProviderName]_[Region/
Consortium]_[Package Name]_[YYYY-MM-DD].txt
– Applicable to Consortia packages and Regional variants (e.g., “Asia-Pacific”, “Germany”, etc.)
– “Global” value is used if the package is available for all libraries to purchase.
![Page 22: KBART Phase II: The Next Step Towards Better Metadata](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062302/56816770550346895ddc5bec/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
Consortia – New File Name Examples• Title list is not region or consortium-specific,
includes all titles from the content provider: – JSTOR_Global_AllTitles_2008-12-01.txt – Taylor & Francis_Global_AllTitles_2012-08-30
• Title list is consortium-specific, for a specific package:– IOP_NESLi2_Option 1 (2011)_2012-05-31.txt (includes a year as
part of the package name)– Oxford_SCELC_AllTitles_2012-01-09.txt (contains all titles that
the consortium has subscribed to)• Title list is region-specific, for a specific
package:– Springer_Asia-Pacific_Medicine_2012-08-03.txt
![Page 23: KBART Phase II: The Next Step Towards Better Metadata](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062302/56816770550346895ddc5bec/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Phase 1 – Universally accepted standardized publisher metadata, regularly distributed AND available on demand
Phase 2 – Broad adoption, Consortia, More content type coverage (eBooks, conference proceedings), Open Access materials– Draft now in final stages– Available for public review before the end of the year
Phase 3? – Even more content types, automated delivery, institutional metadata????
KBART’s lifespan

1. Everything can be found at http://www.uksg.org/kbart/endorsement
2. Review the requirements (data samples available)
3. Format your title lists accordingly.4. Self-check to ensure they conform to the
recommended practice5. Ensure that you have a process in place for
regular data updates6. Register your organization on the KBART registry
