It’s all about: Metadata Standards and Best Practice for E-Resources

Improving Discoverability and Accessibility of E-content

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 ResourcesNISO 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.txtBloomsbury_IngentaConnect_Alltitles_2013-01-01.txt

Separate files should be produced for each content package the provider offers
