Building the Global Open Knowledgebase (GOKb)

The Global Open Knowledgebase project (GOKb) aims to facilitate the development of shared e-resources management data by developing a freely available, community-managed repository of key publication information about electronic resources as they are represented in the supply chain from content publishers to suppliers to libraries. This column will provide an overview of GOKb based on the author's experiences as a lead subject matter expert with the project, along with in-depth discussion of the GOKb data model, tools for data ingest and display, and plans for community management and sustainability.
