13. Key Components of System Architecture
• Service Layer Architecture – to provide isolation of
concerns and flexibilites
• Kuali Technologies – to provide ready-built
technologies for
development, messaging, coordination, & financials
• Standard interfaces (when it makes sense) – to
provide open & predictable pathways in & out
• Multiple data stores – to provide purpose-built data
repositories that best model interactions & provide
some future-proofing

19. Roadmap for Year 2 and Beyond
DLF Fall Forum 2011 open source administration software for education

20. E-resource management: a complicated
landscape
• Libraries outsourced management of e-
resource entitlements for discovery
• ILSs can’t manage complexities of e-
resource products
• ERM product space developed after ERMI
in 2004 but has stalled

22. Knowledge Base inefficiencies
• Using discovery-based KBs for
management not successful
– Data uncontrolled, incomplete, absent
relationships, lack of match points to ILS
• KB data management model inefficient
– Redundant maintenance of “global” data
– Slow update cycles
DLF Fall Forum 2011 open source administration software for education

23. Synergies between OLE and JISC projects
• JISC shared services portfolio
– Funding for Shared ERM
– Shared services ERM
• KB data management model inefficient
– Redundant maintenance of “global” data
– Slow update cycles
DLF Fall Forum 2011 open source administration software for education

24. Global Open KnowledgeBase (GOKb)
DLF Fall Forum 2011 open source administration software for education

25. Global Open KnowledgeBase (GOKb)
• Build a Knowledge Base of global data about
the managed e-resource collection
• APIs to interact with data- emphasis on ingest
and maintenance mechanisms
• Linked data
• Shareable, open data license (Creative
Commons 0)
DLF Fall Forum 2011 open source administration software for education

26. Commercial KBs vs. GOKb
• e-journals we license, pay for and assess
• databases
• e-book packages
• serial titles in aggregator databases
• 300K vs 20K
• Q: is there value in managing the 20K at title
level
• ability to focus on enhancing traditional KB
data
DLF Fall Forum 2011 open source administration software for education

27. GOKb Timeline
• Now through Feb 2012: data model
collaboration, OLE and JISC
• April 2012 – March 2013
– Build and deploy GOKb
– Test data maintenance and integrations with OLE
and JISC project partners
– Plan for extension, sustainability, expansion of
community
DLF Fall Forum 2011 open source administration software for education

28. Joining the Kuali OLE Partnership
• Developing toolkit for others
– Making a Case for Community Source Library Systems
• Announce Models for Joining Kuali OLE
– Kuali Days 2011
– Multiple Tiers
• Partner
• Contributor
• Models for Implementation
– Consortial
– Cloud
• Models of disaggregated discovery layers abound both in
the open source and SaaS communities
