[Sarah Pearson <s.pearson.1@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Rose,

Glad you found it. I would also like to point out that the registry at the link 
below is not just for KBART endorsers but for everyone who wants to publicize 
links to their metadata file and contact information in a single place. We are 
certainly mentioning this to all content providers regardless of whether they 
are currently KBART compliant.

The KBART endorsing vendors are marked with the KBART logo on this registry.

Thanks and best wishes

Hello All,

Please disregard my previous email.  NISO does include either a contact name or 
link to where metadata files can be downloaded for the endorsers of KBART.  
http://sites.google.com/site/kbartregistry/.

Sorry, should have looked closer!

Endorse KBART

Hello,

It would be very helpful if the endorser’s of KBART or NISO would  put  a link 
to their KBART compatible title lists.  Some vendors have done this such as 
Emerald, see: http://www.emeraldinsight.com/kbart/index.htm.  Perhaps there is ;
already a page that gives a list of the KBART endorsers and links to their 
websites where you can download the title lists, but if not this would be 
extremely helpful to those of us who maintain a knowledge base of this 
information.  I did find a list of the endorsers from the NISO KBART page, but  
this doesn’t include a link or instructions on how to actually get the KBART 
data file.

Thanks,

Rose

UKSG and NISO Announce Eight More Publishers Endorse KBART
Support and Demand for KBART Increasing Within Knowledge Community

June 13, 2011 – UKSG and the National Information Standards Organization (NISO) 
are pleased to announce that another eight publishers are now able to supply 
metadata that conforms to the recommended practice, KBART: Knowledge Bases And 
Related Tools (NISO RP-9-2010). Endorsement of this publication, which contains 
practical recommendations for the timely exchange of accurate metadata between 
content providers and knowledge base developers, indicates that the format and 
content of data supplied by the publisher to knowledge bases and related tools 
conform to the KBART recommendations.

The newest endorsers are:
•         American Geophysical Union
•         BioScientifica, representing:
•        The European Society for Endocrinology
•        The Society for Endocrinology
•        The Society for Reproduction and Fertility
•         Cambridge University Press
•         Credo Reference
•         Emerald Group Publishing
•         IEEE

“BioScientifica manages significant amounts of data on behalf of the growing 
number of societies to whom we provide publishing services,” says Kathryn 
Spiller, Assistant Director of Publishing Services at BioScientifica. “KBART’s 
practical guidelines were easy to implement, and fit with our aim to provide 
best-of-breed support to all participants in the scholarly information supply 
chain.”

“We continue to invite all publishers and vendors to publicly endorse KBART’s 
recommendations,” says Sarah Pearson, co-chair of the working group. “They are 
simple to adopt, and with mounting awareness among librarians, KBART 
endorsement is beginning to be a differentiator when making platform and 
content decisions.”

To learn about how your organization can endorse KBART, and for more 
information on its Phase II activities, visit

About KBART
KBART (Knowledge Bases And Related Tools) was set up following the 2007 
publication of the UKSG research report "Link Resolvers and the Serials Supply 
Chain." Central to the efficient operation of the OpenURL is the knowledge 
base, which consists of data supplied by content providers including 
publishers. The report found that a lack of awareness of the OpenURLs 
capabilities and requirements is impacting the quality and timeliness of data 
provided to populate knowledge bases, and thus undermining the potential of the 
sophisticated OpenURL technology. UKSG partnered with NISO to commission the 
KBART Working Group to develop guidelines for best practice and provide 
educational materials. The core NISO/UKSG Working Group consists of 
representatives from libraries, knowledge base developers, publishers, 
intermediaries and other content providers, and is supported by a monitoring 
group of interested parties. Its Phase I report, KBART: Knowledge Bases And 
Related Tools (NISO RP-9-2010<http://www.niso.org/publications/rp/#kbart>), and 
guidelines have been widely reviewed and tested by a wider group of information 
supply chain stakeholders. For more information, visit
