Today’s agenda
OpenURL recap – why? how?
Stakeholder overview – who does what
What is a knowledge base, and why it matters
Some examples of problems that occur
KBART – what? why? who? how? when?

OpenURL origins
Appropriate copy (“Harvard problem”)
Binary/hard-coded reference linking
Creation and standardisation of OpenURL

OpenURL query (base URL+ metadata string)
Make their content OpenURL compliant by:
– Creating outbound OpenURL links
Make their content KB compliant by:
– Telling the knowledge base what content they have and how to link to it
Which bits do publishers do?
publisher/providerholdings data
link resolver’sknowledge base
Together: link-resolver compliance

What bits do libraries do?
Have a link resolver! And register it with providers
Customise its knowledge base with their own holdings data

What does the link resolver do?
Takes an OpenURL and extracts the article metadata
– http://baseurl.institution.edu/content?genre=article&issn=1234-5679&volume=53&issue=3&page=14
Compares article metadata to knowledge base
– where is the article available?
– which version is preferred by the library?
Puts together a predictable link to this version
http://baseurl.institution.edu/content?genre=article&issn=1234-5679&volume=53&issue=3&page=14
target (cited)article
predictable link

Hang on. What is a knowledge base?
A database
Contains information about web resources
– e.g. what journals are available in JSTOR
– and how would you link to articles in them
Contains information about the resources a library has licensed/owns
– may also include offline holdings
![Page 9: KBART: improving the supply of data to link resolvers and knowledge bases Charlie Rapple KBART co-chair UKSG Annual Conference 5-7 April 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062713/56649cdc5503460f949a7139/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
So why is it so important?
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 an “appropriate copy”

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
![Page 12: KBART: improving the supply of data to link resolvers and knowledge bases Charlie Rapple KBART co-chair UKSG Annual Conference 5-7 April 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062713/56649cdc5503460f949a7139/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Outdated data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!
Where the chain breaks
That’s not
good!

Knowledge Bases And Related Tools
UKSG and NISO collaborative project
To improve navigation of the e-resource supply chain by
Ensuring timely transfer of accurate data to knowledge bases, ERMs etc.
Right. So. What is KBART?
![Page 14: KBART: improving the supply of data to link resolvers and knowledge bases Charlie Rapple KBART co-chair UKSG Annual Conference 5-7 April 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062713/56649cdc5503460f949a7139/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Why was KBart established?
UKSG 2007 research report,“Link Resolvers and the Serials Supply Chain”
– lack of awareness of OpenURL's capabilities
– impacting the quality and timeliness of data provided to knowledge bases
– undermining the potential of this sophisticated technology
NISO partnership to help reach US audience
