GOKb is a freely available community-managed knowledge base being developed by Kuali OLE that will contain publication data on electronic resources. It aims to increase efficiency in data management by providing a centralized, standardized, and reusable source of information. The data will cover the entire lifecycle of resources and include identifiers, titles, publishers, and usage statistics. It will link to other data sources through its co-referencing service and fit within the broader landscape of library systems, vendor databases, and national knowledge bases.
