Deep Dive into KBART (Preconference Workshop)

2015 Charleston Conference
Charleston, SC.

Wednesday, November 4, 1:00pm - 4:00pm

Calling all content providers!  Do you want create KBART compliant
metadata files, but don’t know where to begin?  Are you looking to
upgrade your metadata from the KBART Phase I to the new KBART Phase II
requirements? If you answered ‘yes’ to either of these questions, then
this workshop is for you.

Join members of the KBART (Knowledge Bases and Related Tools) Standing
Committee as they guide you through the ins and outs of the KBART
Phase II Recommended Practice. Through classroom instruction and
hands-on experience, the workshop will provide in-depth coverage of
all KBART data elements, with special focus on many of the most
frequently asked questions about the recommended practice. The session
will also outline the steps in the KBART adoption process and
highlight the benefits of endorsement. Participants will also gain
insight into how the provision of standardized metadata can increase
exposure of their electronic content, ensure smoother interoperability
with knowledge base and link resolver vendors, and ultimately improve
end user access. Don’t be afraid to take the plunge and see what KBART
can do for you!

Target Audience: This workshop is targeted primarily at content
providers and individuals responsible for supplying data to
knowledgebases and link resolver vendors.  They are first step in the
data supply chain; the KBART Recommended Practice is geared towards
this group specifically.
