(Very brief) history of KBART
James Culling’s 2007 UKSG Report
◦ “Link Resolvers and the Serials Supply Chain”
◦ http://www.uksg.org/projects/linkfinal
KBART Aim: Develop a recommended practice to ensure the timely
transfer of accurate data to knowledge bases and link resolver
providers.
Phase 1 – Completed in 2010
◦ Main focus was on metadata for serials
Phase 2 – Completed in 2014
◦ Build on Phase 1 recommendations
◦ Focus on e-book, Open Access and consortia metadata

Knowledge base supply chain
Vendors are
dependent upon
content providers
for the data in
knowledge bases
Vendors acquire
data
• From libraries
• Website
• File delivery
• Automation
Vendor ingests
metadata into KB
• Extract
• transform
• loads data
Libraries use KB
data to manage,
discover and
connect to
resources they
pay for
Content Provider Vendor Library

What is a content provider?
Content Provider (or just provider) is an
organization that provides access to online
content, either paid or free
•DOAJ, DOAB,
ROAR,
OpenDOAR, Etc.
•EBSCO,
ProQuest, Gale,
Etc.
•Archive
•Repository

What is a vendor?
A vendor is an organization that
creates library systems products
and services (using KBs)

What is KBART?
Recommendations for the transmission of data to
knowledge bases (KBs)
Title and package data of electronic serials and
books
Purchased/leased/accessed by libraries
Transparency of data exchanged

Why adopt KBART guidelines?
Expose your content to greater usage
◦ OpenURL link resolvers and discovery services rely on publisher-supplied
knowledge base data
◦ Accurate data increases exposure and usage of fulltext content and leads to
better interoperability and access.
Universally accepted data format
◦ Provides a standardized way to exchange and update product availability
details across the supply chain.
◦ Human-readable title list for marketing and product information.
Immediate return on investment
◦ Single source where content providers can refer knowledge base providers,
aggregators, consortia and libraries.

KBART endorsement process
1. Indicate your interest by contacting a KBART working group member
at: kbart@niso.org
2. Read the requirements, accessible via http://www.niso.org/workrooms/kbart.
The recommended practice also includes a data sample file
3. Format your e-journal and e-book content availability data to meet the
requirements
4. Ensure that you have a process in place for regular data exchange as outlined
in section 5.2 of the KBART report
5. Register your organization on the KBART registry website
(sites.google.com/site/kbartregistry/), providing a link to download the newly
KBART formatted dataset(s)
6. KBART will provide a logo for your site and issue a press release
7. Provide the KBART formatted data (or its download location) to your supply
chain contacts

Three perspectives on the
value of KBART

Content provider perspective
Discovery and good metadata = $$$$
◦ If customers can’t find and access what they purchased then usage
disappears
Let the customer know what they purchased!
◦ The department that made the purchase is often not the same group that
manages the content & data.
Support the purchase of content by providing appropriate data
Provide data as widespread as possible
◦ Send to knowledge bases
◦ Public access to title lists

Content provider challenges
Legacy Systems
Prioritization within the organization
◦ Convincing management of the importance
◦ Getting on an IT/technical roadmap
Data clean-up efforts that will make you cry
Staying ahead of the curve

KB vendor challenges
Building relationships with content providers
Gathering data (varied formats, accuracy, consistency, and
completeness)
Validating, correcting, and enriching the data
Converting it to the internal knowledge base format
Performing quality assurance
Keeping the knowledge base current

Why is KBART important to
vendors?
KBART provides a common format and schedule for data to be supplied
◦ Lower risk of errors
◦ Increased timeliness
◦ Reduced effort required to correct/compare common data
Vendors work with data from thousands of providers
◦ De-duplicate results for the same title
◦ New York Times/ N.Y. Times/New York Times (Late New York Edition) = New York Times
◦ Disambiguate
◦ Times (London, England : 1788)/ Times (Gainesville, Ga.)/ Times (Charleston, S.C.)
Enables vendors to focus on enhancing and enriching the data within
the knowledge base

Library perspective
KB
Link
Resolver
MARC
Records
ERM
Discovery
Index

Library perspective
Errors and inconsistencies in knowledge base data cause services to
break down.

Library perspective
Better data leads to a better user experience.

Library perspective
KBART files are a good source of well-formatted data describing content
libraries have purchased.

Method of exchange
Posting holdings data to a dedicated webpage or FTP site is preferable.
E-mail exchange is not ideal because it is more difficult to incorporate
into automated processing routines.
However, if posting to the web or FTP is unachievable, email is an
acceptable alternative.

Frequency of exchange
A monthly metadata update is recommended.
If content is updated less frequently, you may choose a less frequent
update schedule; more frequent content changes may require a more
frequent update schedule.

File naming
File naming convention
◦ [ProviderName]_[Region/Consortium]_[PackageName]_[YYYY-MM-DD].txt
Provider Name
◦ Should be the platform at which the data is hosted.
Region/Consortium
◦ Should include any information based on where the package is sold, or to
what consortium it applies.

File naming
Package Name
◦ Files should be named as customers would expect to see them labeled in the
knowledge base.
Date
◦ File creation date using the ISO 8601 date format

Quiz!
True or false?
KBART files should be generated for all available collections sold by a
content provider, including Consortia deals if they differ from a standard
collection.

issues.

title_url
For conference proceedings and book series titles, provide the URL that
points to the series in general, not a specific volume.

title_id
Give the proprietary identifier for the content title, if you use a title
identifier to create links to content.
If more than one identifier exists, supply the title identifier used for

embargo_info
Embargoes are most often the result of contractual limitations
established between the publisher and content provider.
All embargoes involve a “moving wall”, a point in time that is relative to
the present date. (e.g. 12 months ago).
This data field reflects the limitation on when resources become
available online.
The embargo statement has three components: type, length and units.

embargo_info
Type – Could be one of two values:
◦ “R” (“recurring”) is used if access to the journal begins at the moving wall.
◦ “P” (“period”) is used if access ends at the moving wall.
Length – use an integer to express the length of the embargo.
Units – Supply the units for the number used in the “length” value.
◦ “D” is used for days
◦ “M” is used for months
◦ “Y” is used for years

Embargo examples

not all articles. Coverage policy should be outlined in the notes field.
◦ abstracts – Indicates that coverage includes only abstracts of articles.

for a title should be indicated as fee-based, with the value “P.”

access_type
In the case of a hybrid title with both free and with paid content, the
title records should be repeated as many times as necessary to indicate
coverage ranges for each type of access.
