Managing Serials Data as a Community: Partnering with the Global Open Knowledgebase Eric Hanson, Xiaoyan (Yan) Song, and Kristen Wilson North Carolina State University
Presentation Overview Project update Workflows and tools Linked data Next steps and opportunities
GOKb is... a freely available, community-managed data repository that will contain key publication information about electronic resources as it is represented within the supply chain from content publishers to suppliers to libraries.
Value Proposition for GOKb Solving problems across the industry Duplication of effort Data quality issues (1) Untangling data and software (1) Hill, K. & Collins, M. (2013, June 6-9). Building a Better Knowledgebase: A Community Perspective. Presented at the NASIG Annual Meeting in Buffalo, NY.

Our Takeaways ... Overall, it s been smooth with excitement and small bumps Explore more involvements Take actions to help it grow
Background Linked data is an important way of making GOKb data available to users NCSU s Organization Name Linked Data (http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/ld/onld/) served as the seed data for Organizations in GOKb Ongoing discussion about how the rest of the data will be represented
Links To Other Linked Data Sets Library of Congress Linked Data Service- http://id.loc.gov/ Virtual International Authority File (VIAF) - http://viaf.org/ International Standard Number Identifier (ISNI) - http://www.isni.org/ DBpedia - http://dbpedia.org/ Freebase - http://www.freebase.com/
SPARQL Endpoint SPARQL is a query language like SQL for RDF data GOKb will have a SPARQL endpoint that will allow users to query the data
Sample SPARQL Query Example: Find all titles published by Elsevier select ?titles ?s where { ?s <http://purl.org/dc/terms/publisher> ?o. ?s <http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/core#prefLabel> ?titles. ?o <http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/core#prefLabel> "Elsevier".} ORDER BY ?titles
Linking To Other Linked Data Sets Using DBpedia Data Organizations based in the United Kingdom: PREFIX dbpedia-owl: <http://dbpedia.org/ontology/> PREFIX owl: <http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#> SELECT ?s ?o WHERE {?s owl:sameAs ?o . FILTER(STRSTARTS(STR(?o), "http://dbpedia.org/")). SERVICE <http://dbpedia.org/sparql> {?o dbpedia-owl:country <http://dbpedia.org/resource/United_Kingdom>.}} limit 100
Going Forward Finalize the data modeling and create documentation for new linked data vocabulary terms Establishing workflows to add links to other linked data sets Using an OpenRefine script that automates searches for matching descriptions in VIAF, LC, ISNI, DBpedia, and Freebase As data is added to GOKb, the linked data service becomes a more valuable source of bibliographic linked data
Next steps for GOKb Hire GOKb editor Continue training existing partners Pull in suggestions from the larger community Work with new partners
