Its all about: Metadata Standards and Best Practice for E-Resources Improving Discoverability and Accessibility of E-content Electronic Resources: KBART File Template & Data Fields http://www.niso.org/apps/group_public/download.php/12720/rp-9-2014_KBART.pdf Bie-Hwa Ma and Shi Deng CEAL Task Force on Metadata Standards and Best Practices for East Asian Electronic Resources (ERMB) Tuesday, March 24, 2015
NISO KBART Phase II Recommended Practice KBART: Knowledge Bases and Related Tools KBART Recommended Practice (NISO KBART): Benefits Provide content metadata in KB formatted files, a universally accepted data format Make smoother interaction between members of KB supply chain KB providers and their customers benefit from provision of higher-quality data by content providers Publishers expose content to greater usage by accurate linking to their content Immediate return on investment Instruction for requesting endorsement (NISO KBART, p. 3) http://www.niso.org/workrooms/kbart/endorsement/ Endorser also listed in the NISO website above
CJK Electronic Resources NISO KBART Compliance CJK vendors are encouraged to use KBART filename convention and file template Filename is correct and is relevant to the level (e.g. package/consortium) KBART structure within the file is adhered to and data is in the correct position Structure guidelines within each field are adhered to (e.g. correct use of data format) All data in mandatory fields are included (e.g. identifiers, title, URLs) Translation of NISO KBART Recommended Practice into CJK languages Entire documentation is in process The KBART file template contains 4 worksheets: Simplified Chi&Eng, Traditional Chi&Eng, Jpn&Eng, and Kor&Eng Data field label in Eng and CJK Date format if recommended Instruction in Eng/Chi for each data field (NISO KBART p. 21-26) Good news: Three CJK content providers have already provided KBART files
KBART Filename Convention (NISO KBART, p. 17-18) The filename should be: [ProviderName]_[Region/Consortium]_[PackageName]_[YYYY-MM-DD].txt If title list is not region or consortium-specific, use Global JSTOR_Global_AllTitles_2013-01-14.txt If title list is consortium-specific, for a specific package, use this form: OxfordJournals_SCELC_AllTitles_2013-01-09.txt If title list is region-specific, for a specific package, use this form: Springer_Asia-Pacific_Medicine_2013-01-28.txt ProviderName should be the platform on which the data is hosted Oup_Highwire_AllTitles_2013-01-09.txt Bloomsbury_IngentaConnect_Alltitles_2013-01-01.txt Separate files should be produced for each content package the provider offers JSTOR_Global_ArtsandSciencesV_2013-01-14.txt
KBART Data Fields (NISO KBART p.18-26) KBART File Data Fields Total 25 data fields All mandatory if they exist and are appropriate to the content Every field should appear in the order given in the template, even if no info can be provided for a specific field Content providers are permitted to include any extra data fields after the last KBART utilized position (access_type in position 25) CEAL Recommended Additional KBART Data Fields Total 9 data fields: seek input and support from CEAL members All mandatory if they exist and are appropriate to the content Every field should appear in the order given in the template
