- 20. E-resource management: a complicated landscape • Libraries outsourced management of e- resource entitlements for discovery • ILSs can’t manage complexities of e- resource products • ERM product space developed after ERMI in 2004 but has stalled DLF Fall Forum 2011 open source administration software for education
- 21. Multiple Knowledge Bases ERM KB • ILS KB Discovery KB Description Acquisitions o Description Licenses URL o Location Entitlements Coverage o Acquisitions Description Platform o Circulation Platform Package Package Usage DLF Fall Forum 2011 open source administration software for education
- 22. Knowledge Base inefficiencies • Using discovery-based KBs for management not successful – Data uncontrolled, incomplete, absent relationships, lack of match points to ILS • KB data management model inefficient – Redundant maintenance of “global” data – Slow update cycles DLF Fall Forum 2011 open source administration software for education
- 23. Synergies between OLE and JISC projects • JISC shared services portfolio – Funding for Shared ERM – Shared services ERM • KB data management model inefficient – Redundant maintenance of “global” data – Slow update cycles DLF Fall Forum 2011 open source administration software for education
- 24. Global Open KnowledgeBase (GOKb) DLF Fall Forum 2011 open source administration software for education
- 25. Global Open KnowledgeBase (GOKb) • Build a Knowledge Base of global data about the managed e-resource collection • APIs to interact with data- emphasis on ingest and maintenance mechanisms • Linked data • Shareable, open data license (Creative Commons 0) DLF Fall Forum 2011 open source administration software for education
- 26. Commercial KBs vs. GOKb • e-journals we license, pay for and assess • databases • e-book packages • serial titles in aggregator databases • 300K vs 20K • Q: is there value in managing the 20K at title level • ability to focus on enhancing traditional KB data DLF Fall Forum 2011 open source administration software for education
- 27. GOKb Timeline • Now through Feb 2012: data model collaboration, OLE and JISC • April 2012 – March 2013 – Build and deploy GOKb – Test data maintenance and integrations with OLE and JISC project partners – Plan for extension, sustainability, expansion of community DLF Fall Forum 2011 open source administration software for education
- 28. Joining the Kuali OLE Partnership • Developing toolkit for others – Making a Case for Community Source Library Systems • Announce Models for Joining Kuali OLE – Kuali Days 2011 – Multiple Tiers • Partner • Contributor • Models for Implementation – Consortial – Cloud • Models of disaggregated discovery layers abound both in the open source and SaaS communities DLF Fall Forum 2011 open source administration software for education
